I recently purchased Madden M-Grain Loafers and have mixed feelings about them. On the one hand, black suede looks elegant and stylish with any outfit, while the structured design adds uniqueness. However, these loafers are not the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. The size is a little small for a size 9 and the stiff sole takes a little time to adjust. I also noticed some wear and tear after only a few wears, which was unexpected for the price. Overall, I'd recommend the Madden M-Grain Loafers for their aesthetic, but be prepared to sacrifice comfort for looks.
