I bought Ecco New Jersey loafers a few years ago. I wore them 3-4 days a week for 2 years and loved them. They felt great from day one. I found them and they were about $30 cheaper and looked the same so I decided to give them a try. For the money they are ok. They're a bit tight and the leather isn't as soft as the Ecco. My suggestion is to spend the extra $30 and get an Ecco if you plan on shopping more than 3 days a week. If you only need casual wear 1-2 days a week, that's fine.
