Very sweet. The suede is soft and has some flexibility. The color is a nice warm brown that combines well with other earthy colors. Tassels are a good length to balance the shoe, whether long or short. As for sizing, I received my normal shoe size and it fits perfectly. I noticed that the heel isn't as high as my other loafers, but that's not a problem at all. Overall, this is a great pair of tassel loafers.
