Ted Bit Loafer

I normally wear a 9.5 in dress shoes, and these are true to size, perhaps a little narrow. I needed a shoe horn to put them on. I got several blisters on my heel and pinky toe my first time wearing them as they are stiff. The leather seems a bit thin and the soles are synthetic. I paid $119, and to me they don't look like they're worth more than a hundred. I'm hindsight, I wish I had paid $70 more for a discounted pair of To Boot New York or Allen Edmunds which both seem higher quality, but maybe I'll like them better after breaking them in more.
