I've seen shoes like this cost well over $100. For those of you wondering, I was pleasantly surprised by the leather lining and nicely padded insoles. I love this look for the low profile outsole. I don't want a big heel for casual loafers. They are flexible, light and very comfortable from the start. Broken grain leather. The color and texture of the cognac corresponded to the picture. I get all 3 colors. As for the size, I have experience with dress shoes, I can only wear 11.5 with classic socks. So I have 11.5. It's a tight fit but better than a loose fit as I expect they will stretch. I always use Nike as a reference, I'm perfect 13 in Nike athletic shoes.
