Poorly crafted July 03, 2011
Reviewer: Big John from Balto, MD

Shoe Size: Felt half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
This shoe is VERY narrow. The stitching is not good, and when I bend my foot the seams they create are loose. The insoles are very thick, I had to get thinner ones.

I followed the advice of Shoe buy and ordered this shoe a half size larger than I normally wear. Perfect fit! What a fantastic shoe! I usually don't write shoe reviews but I am sold on this shoe. I bought another pair in black to wear on more dressy occasions. I never thought I could be so excited about a penny loafer. Great customer service from Shoe buy also.

I purchased this shoe for work and casual wear. The non-slip sole is perfect for working in commercial type settings. It is easy to clean, you just wipe it off. If you are rough on shoes, this is the shoe for you. It takes a licking and if you have to replace it, it is priced right. I added a sole insert to make it more comfortable. They are perfect now. I will purchase more shoes from this manufacturer! You will be extremely happy as I was!
Wears this shoe: Work and casual wear; looks great with dress pants and jeans

Reviewer: Nancy from West Coast

Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
I was looking for the classic penney loafer like I wore in the '80's. The womens version was tiny - all the way around - the mens version is better, but still runs small in width. A mens wide just fit me (a woman) with a slighty wider foot than average, I generally dont even buy wide womens shoes. Its a little tight(at the tounge)getting on, but comfortable and will wear in nicely I am sure. The shoe seems to be very nicely made - but will have to wear them for an extended period of time to determine how comfortable they are & how they wear for sure. Over all I am very pleased with the shoe and my shopping experience with shoebuy.
Wears this shoe: To work & some weekends - not daily.

Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width
I bought it because of the Penny loafer style and the No slip tread on the sole. I particularly like the fact that it has a no mark sole. A very good fit and stylish shoe. Since I am retired, I wear this shoe most of the time.
