Comfortable elegance
These loafers are roomy and comfortable, yet classically elegant. They have a decent amount of room at the toe box, as well as sufficient padding for strident walking.Nice traction, too.

Poor Fit for Foot with High Instep
Poor fit - I returned shoe. I'm comparing the fit of the patent stiff plastic-y tassel loafer to the comfortable, perfect fit of the black suede Franco Carolynn Tassel Loafer, identical style, purchased three years ago. I have a high instep that can be a challenge to fit some styles. The suede Franco loafer, same design and size as the "patent" shoe fits my foot, is comfortable and has been my favorite walking shoe on multiple trips to Europe. The recently purchased "patent" loafer FAILS to fit my foot. Same size as the suede loafer, I couldn't slide my foot into the shoe of the patent one. My instep was blocked by the top piece of the shoe. Additionally, the non-pliable plastic-y man-made material is very stiff. I'm disappointed in the lack of consistency in fit, pliability of material and comfort within the same product line. The only similarity between my suede loafer and the "patent" one is the length, which appeared to be the same in the suede and "patent" shoe.

Beautiful loafers, but they run really big
The shoes seem to be well made, and look really nice; however, they are sized too large. I read other reviews that said the same, so I sized down 1/2 a size. They were still too big. I'm awaiting a pair that are actually one full size down from my normal. Hopefully, they'll fit well.

Shoe size
Shoes are comfortable but runs a little big. I normally wear a size 7 but I had to get a 6.5. Overall the shoe fits better.

Beautiful and comfortable
This is my third pair of these shoes! I love them so much. I get so many compliments on them. They are very comfy look great with dress pants or jeans. They have great traction, I wear them to work as a server and have not slipped wearing them. The first two pairs are still holding up great I just purchased the third pair in case they discontinue them.

Comfy and stylish!
This is my third, maybe 4th, pair of these shoes. They are the most comfortable and stylish shoes. I work in events and am on my feet a lot! It’s hard to find shoes that are comfy for 12+ hours, let alone cute. I highly recommend!! I am a 7.5 and they run very true to size.
