These slip on kilt tassel loafers in burgundy/cordo have a leather upper and a synthetic material on the other side. The shoes go with both workwear and leisure and have a classic look. The outsole may have a low profile, but still has enough deep lugs and texture to grip wet or slippery surfaces. Comfortable gel insole provides good cushioning. The man who lives in the house is wearing size 10 shoes and these shoes fit exactly as expected in width and length. Well made and comfortable.
