SWIMS classic Venetian men's loafers: comfortable and durable, but not quite perfect

I recently purchased the SWIMS men's classic venetian loafers in navy blue, US size 8M. The first thing that struck me was how comfortable they were right out of the box. The materials felt soft but strong and I could tell they were well made. I was excited to wear them and about it. Unfortunately, the excitement was short-lived. As comfortable as the SWIMS moccasins are, I found the sizing to be a little off. The 8 M US felt a bit tight and snug, and I don't have particularly wide feet. It was acceptable for short periods, but not ideal for long-term wear. My feet felt a bit cramped and I regret not going half a size up. However, the SWIMS loafers lived up to their promise of being waterproof. I've worn them in light rain and my feet stayed dry which is a definite plus. They also proved durable in terms of wear and tear. I've worn them a few times and they've held up well with no visible wear or other signs of damage. Overall, I would give the SWIMS Men's Classic Venetian Loafers 3 stars out of 5. While they were reasonably comfortable, the sizing made them far from ideal. However, I appreciate the waterproof technology and durability and will try a larger size in the future.

Pros
  • Very comfortable, quality construction. I like them for their simplicity. A unique take on a classic style.
Cons
  • Sizing may not fit every foot and may be too small or too large for some wearers, causing discomfort or an imperfect fit.
