Review on Men's Casual Sneaker Loafers: Arkbird Leather Slip-On Shoes by Dale Emmel

Fine for Some by I'm Not the One

There are some nice features of these shoes that should be recognized. They are light and comfortable, especially suitable for summer. They also seem to be quite well made. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a large shoe box to accommodate wide feet or a large bump. I have the latter which is why I can't wear many big name brand shoes due to the pressure they put on that area of the foot, but I've had no problems with these. In fact, there are no notable flaws in quality or comfort with this shoe. The three stars I give them here reflect that I find them rather unsympathetic. In my opinion, the larger toe size makes them look bulky and ugly, which can make them a good choice for a wider foot or major bursitis. The forefoot of the shoe feels bubbly and awkward, especially in the size 13 that I wear. The effect on my feet vaguely reminded me of those classic clown shoes. Now I'm the first to realize that this is a matter of personal taste, which many don't share. I also know from years of experience that my size 13 shoes can look a lot better in smaller sizes on a small foot. I would not discourage a potential buyer of these shoes from considering them for their size based on taste or fit and appearance. You might look good in a size 9 or 10. Again, they might be a good choice for someone having similar difficulties finding the right fit for their foot. But since I have been instructed to view the subject from my particular point of view, I include my aesthetic response to it along with its narrower utilitarian characteristics. So check them out, look carefully at the photos and other reviews and judge whether they match your personal image or not. If you like the way they look, you will most likely like the way they feel.
