Love this shoe! I have purchased 3 times, in 3 different size varieties. I am a Sales and Event Manager in a fine dining, high volume restaurant. The majority of my day is spent in front of my computer but multiple times a week, I’m running through our kitchen or pushing and shoving tables and chairs around to see if a specific setup can work. I’ve been wearing these since 2022. They look classy as hell and I feel like they’re good to my feet, my feet don’t hurt, nor does my bunion or high arches. I am a 8-8.5. Recently my podiatrist told me due to my bunion (thanks high heel from early 2000’s!) I should not be wearing any shoe with a narrow toe box. Here’s my take on the sizes I’ve owned in this specific shoe:Bought in 2021, size 8 regular: Fit great, a tad snug at first but caused no discomfort. They actually stretched out within a few days. And needed up fitting perfectly and were some comfy, classy ass kickers. This pair was awesome for a year. Was time to replaceBought in 2022, size 9 regular: Figured the 8 was a tad snug, and the size 9 was on sale about $20 cheaper, and recovering financially from the pandemic and I said yup $20 cheaper let go and pulled the trigger. They were fine, weren’t tight at all like my first pair, but felt sloppy on me/to me like I looked like Ronald McDonald. All good still wore them, still have them as a back up. No doubt of comfort, just really comfortable shoes.Bought in 2023, size 8 wide: This was/ is a really wide shoe. Weird because I feel like everyone that’s reviewed says not wide enough. It is plenty wide for me. Too wide, enough so that the shoe just fits weird and loose. Won’t return, just another back up. I can wear them but feel like my feet look dumpy.I just ordered a size 8 regular again today. If they’re a tad tight, I’ll pop on my shoe stretcher as I know these are stretchable.I wear these 5 days a week, and only need to replace them once a year. Yes, please! They’re comfortable, stylish and can match almost any business casual outfit… I have put these shoes through physical situations and my feet always feel comfortable coming out on top. Wish the sole was a bit more durable, but for the weight ( actually weightlessness) of this shoe and the comfort, I’m more than happy to purchase over and over. The key is to finding the right size and width for you…. They’re my go to ass kickers whether in a suit, dress or slacks!
I just love these shoes. They are comfortable enough to go for walks during lunch at work although I try not to so they will last. The support is just right for my foot.
I love the look of the shoes! The patent leather makes them look dressy. I usually wear a 9.5 or 10 and got a 10 in these and it was the right size choice. They were a bit snug in the toe area but I think that will “give” the more I wear them. I primarily bought these for concert performances where I am on my feet for hours at a time. I just came off several performances and am glad I bought these shoes. I inserted my used Brooks athletic insoles on top of the insoles already in the shoes (may have contributed to the snug toes, BTW?) because I wanted and needed more cushion. I have high arches; I’d say these have minimal arch support. But with the extra insoles, these work for me, and I think it’s a very handsome shoe, dressy but can also pass for casual.
I have plantar fasciitis and am on my feet a lot with my work. I have to wear dress shoes at work. These are very comfortable and durable. My feet are not killing my at the end of the day wearing these.
I love these shoes! They are very tight when first put on but they become very comfortable after about ten minutes- I wear them often.
These shoes are so comfortable. One of the best loafers I’ve had in a very long time. I’ve worn them all day at work where I am on the go 80% of the time. All I will say if you want comfort, and style this is definitely the shoe for you.
