Inspired by a life well lived, creative visionary Sam Edelman draws from his more than 30 years of experience in the footwear industry. The Sam Edelman brand harnesses its founder's love of travel and enduring design to create trend-forward yet laid-back shoes, clothing and accessories rooted in timeless American style.
I absolutely love the design of this shoe, but the sizing is incredibly frustrating. My normal size, 7.5, was painfully tight and pinched my toes. The size 8 was dramatically larger, and my heel completely lifted out while walking. There is no workable size between the two.
The loafer itself is beautiful, feminine, and exactly what I was looking for, which makes the inconsistent sizing even more disappointing. Please remake this style with better-proportioned sizing because the design deserves it!

not comfortable
The shoes are cute but not comfortable. They are very narrow. Too bad had to return them.

they look nice
But I really wish they had fit. I ordered two pairs, sizes 6.5 and 7, but one was a little too small and the other was way too big, so I have to return both.

Cute but stretch out quickly
Wanted to love these, but my typical size in this brand, after an hour of wear they were slipping off, to the point I almost lost a shoe crossing the street !
They look adorable but really sad to not be able to wear without fear of falling off while walking

Too heavy
These are too heavy and the heel area is too large and I am not able to walk without ten flipping off my feet!
