Wheaton Loafer

They are a beautiful classic loafer and the handmade craftsmanship is evident throughout in the comfort and quality of construction and finish. I can put on a new pair of Paul Green loafers, sneakers or sandals and have literally no break in period. That is both a blessing and a curse as they are expensive and I deliberated for quite awhile before investing in my first pair. The insole is removable and you can replace it with your own if preferred. I don’t have a high arch but someone who does or who uses orthotics can easily switch to them.

I loved the wine color of these loafers, and the soft patent was very comfortable - these fit my wide forefoot and narrow heel very comfortably in my standard 8.5. But the shoes had been tried on before and that had created a very sharp crease in the top of the toe of one of them, and not where my own foot creases. This was uncomfortable and unattractive - but also, if nothing more than a few try-ons (the bottoms were pristine) was enough to make them crease like this, I have my doubts about how these are going to wear. I decided to return them.
