Customer Reviews Cole Haan American Classics Penny Loafer - DELETED

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.

Very light in weight, comfortable. I needed to send back my 10.5 for 10. Little loose for my liking. Overall great quality as always CH never disappoints.

It is a comfortable loafer.

Love them run a little big

The shoe runs wide usually 10.5 is perfect but these were big. Going to try a 10.

I am typically an 8.5 in Cole Haan shoes - they've been consistent for almost every shoe, except these. I purchased an 8.5 and wore them with great frustration. I like the shoe, but it is NOT comfortable. So I indulged and bought an 8 thinking that would work better. But still not right sized. So, I now have two pairs of the same shoe and no desire to wear either pair. Love Cole Haan, just not this shoe!

First, this is a fine-looking shoe in the classic sense of North American traditional loafer. I ordered them in my size, but in a "wide" which is perfect in width, but for whatever reason, has made them too long to wear. Rather than return them, I took them to an old-fashioned cobbler who put an insert ...not in the heel, but under the liner of the toe. I can wear them comfortably now, but someone should re-examine the sizing in the 9.5/ M width.

for the money was looking for a better quality

I have purchased multiple Cole Haan size 8 shoes. Ordered this Men's American Classics Penny Loafer online and the shoe is at least 1/2 size too large. I should have gone to the store to make sure they fit right? Wouldn't have thought that necessary. Having worn them a couple of times, now I'm stuck with them. Looking good, but swimming feet.

A half size too large. I have had at least 30 Cole Haan Shoes in size 11.5. This shoe fits larger.

Tight fit and I had to go 2 sizes below mine.
