I always prefer loafers to laces; much easier and quicker to put on. I think these loafers look very good and quite attractive. The quality is very high and they are well made. The cushion inside and when walking really helps orthopedically and doesn't hurt knees or ankles. They are true to size. Seems to be pretty durable. They can be worn casually with jeans or dressed up. Highly recommended. Many Thanks.
