This review is for a Florsheim Men's Berkley Penny Loafer Black 12 E Seller: Revain.com Services, Inc. I delayed buying these shoes for a few months based on some reviews. You should beware of copies and fakes of reliable products. I've worn this version of the shoe since about 1969. The pair I just received goes with all the previous pairs I've bought. Those have always been my main shows β the non-special occasions β and I've walked more miles in these shoes than most people. I have never (prematurely) worn a hole in the sole of them. I've never had an issue with the top seams, although I'd expect it if it rubs a lot on a table or office chair. These are not "ordinary shoes". They have a life of their own that they will share with you for years if you treat them right. When you receive them, polish them with a good polishing paste. But wear different shoes when you go fishing. :) Review 05/28/2019: After wearing these shoes for over 6 months, they actually look and feel better than when they were new. I can't believe some reviews. You must be working for a competitor of something. These are very good shoes. Florsheim is the best in my opinion, which is why I've been wearing it for decades. Use Kiwi Parade Gloss Shoe Polish. This is an honest review. I have not been paid for my opinion and it is beneath me to accept payment, even if offered.
