As someone who has always been a fan of loafers, I was excited to try Steve Madden's Paulsen men's loafers. And I confess I was pleasantly surprised. The black leather material is smooth and although I've only worn these shoes recently they hold up very well. One of the things that sets Paulsen loafers apart from other loafers I've worn is their comfort. The cushioned insole provides all day support and I can wear them to events for hours when I'm on my feet without discomfort. Although the shoes have a classic design, they have enough flair to stand out. Silver hardware and leather braiding add a unique touch that enhances the overall look. I have received many compliments on them so far, so if you are looking for stylish loafers, give them a try. Overall, the Paulsen men's loafers from Steve Madden are a great choice for those looking to upgrade their footwear without sacrificing comfort or fashion.
