Customer Reviews Cole Haan American Classics Penny Loafer

Wide width is really Extra Wide width. I had to insert insoles to prevent my feet from slipping out of the loafers.

A perfect business casual shoe with a unique finishes.

Love the look, goes with casual look with jeans or shorts or a bit more formal with a dressed up shirt.

Love the shoes. It will be interesting to see how the leather holds up. Not quite as finished as other CH shoes I have.

Nice construction and materials. I usually wear 9.5 M in other brands. I couldn't even put this shoe on even though the length was fine. Waiting for the 9.5 wide I just ordered

Good Shoe, love the style. If you are 10 order 9 1/2, runs a little big.

The shoe is beautiful! I have purchased many Cole Haan shoes, always the same size, 9 1/2W. This shoe ran big and I felt a 1/2 size down would be too small. The issue was in length not width. Sadly had to return them.

Great looking shoe. I ordered 1/2 size down. I should have ordered a full size down. By the time that became apparent, the full size down was no longer available. Too bad. Not sure why Colehaan does not fix the problem. Ordering a fairly expensive shoe a full size down based on some but not all reviews, is a risky endeavour.

Looks good haven't worn it yet.

Nice shoe. It was too large so I had to send it back

Good shoe needs narrower options

So hard to find dark blue, casual shoes, with a dark sole. (Few manufacturers seem to be able to resist the current fashion trend of light-colored soles. Soon the light-colored soles look grimy gray, unappealing to me.) These shoes look great with jeans or classic khakis, and look nice enough to go with a sport jacket.

size runs a little bigger than other brands but within Cole Hann it was spot on

I'm very happy with my new Penny Loafers. However, the photograph of the shoe featured online did not look like the loafer I received. The online version looks like a leather shoe, the type you can polish, whereas the actual shoe has a much darker, rough hewn appearance. If a shiny leather version were offered I'd probably purchase it as well.

Fit is large for 10.5 shoes

The shoes are excellent, just wish they came in a narrow/slim. I can get away with some medium widths but sadly not these. Had to return.

Well made shoe and quite comfortable, but the sole is larger than you may imagine from the picture, making For a very wide footprint.

I would have given a 5 stars but I had to return for a one size smaller.

I have been purchasing Cole Haan for years. I have not had to try them on for years...I know my size. I ordered the size I always purchase and they are now much larger than they used to be. I had to return them.

Great look. Comfortable. Run a little big

Very comfortable. Feather weight. Suade is softer than leather. Size runs a bit bigger.

Shoes are a liitle wider than normal

I love these Penny loafers, especially the updated style. The blue suede is beautiful though the off-white soles need frequent cleaning. I have always had a problem with the fit with these loafers. I have to put heel grips in the back of the shoe and a tongue pad under the tongue to make it fit appropriately and have to go down a full size. I generally wear a 10 or 10 1/2, but only 9 1/2 will fit in Cole Haan shoes. I'm not sure why the size is so different. I would love to see them improve the fit. That said, once I make accommodations, the shoes fit relatively well and I have them in the tan and burgundy as well. They are a classic look.

The shoes fit well and look fantastic. Delivery was quick and easy.

These shoes are just like everyone said. Style, quality and even the light weight cushioning are all superb, BUT the shoes do run a bit wide and long, so I've returned them and am going to order 1/2 size down I hope for a better fit. I'll update this review when they arrive. Even with the return these shoes are worth the trouble.
