A few years ago these loafers became one of my favorite shoes for work and business trips and I bought several replacements for my first pair. However, the pair that arrived when I last ordered them were half a size larger than the ones I currently wear, despite being marked as the same size and item numbers. I got out of healing even after switching to thick socks. The size difference was much larger than the usual manufacturing variance, so I'm not sure I trust Rockport to order online again.
