These loafers are even better than I thought! Leather has a premium smell, look and feel. Cushions built into the soles were a good idea since we stand on our feet so much. Traditional shoes weren't comfortable for either men or women, so it's great that they're comfortable. They fit great too! If you are not familiar with the size number, for example I was 44, that is because they are European sizing. In the US this is about an 11.5 or 12. As well as size comparison charts which are easy to find if they are not provided to you. Definitely something I would recommend for the great looks and quality! :)
