High quality leather, thicker sole than normal bass loafers. What bothers me is the size. I have a size between 8 and 8.5 and it depends on the shoe brand. So I ordered 8.5W because I had my foot measured at a shoe store. Shoes arrived as promised by Amazon Prime. Tried on, liked it, but too big. I switched them back to 8W and they still seem to be too loose. My heels fell off my shoes. So I ordered 8M, now the heel feels tight but the toe box is too tight. I plan to come back and try 8.5M. If it doesn't feel right, I give up and switch to another brand.
