I bought these as a Christmas present for one of my sons and tried them on another son who has slightly larger feet than his brother. He advised me to order half a size smaller for his brother, and his advice turned out to be correct. Loafers look very cool but are stylish enough for younger men (my sons are in their 20s). I ended up keeping the original pair that I bought for my son who tried them on for his brother because he really liked them.
