Review on 👞 Classy and Comfortable: Cole Haan Pinch Tassel Loafer Men's Shoes by Cliff Gibs

This is an amateur review from someone who doesn't have much experience with brand name shoes. I have had and have had several pairs of inexpensive and reasonably comfortable leather shoes. And I was curious about some brands and why they are good. Yes, I have not tried John Lobb or Edward Green. If anyone has, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me if the John Lobb experience matches the description below so I can avoid the hassle of trying these brands forever. I picked this pair for the look. Yes they look exactly like the picture, shiny burgundy, just what I wanted. The first pair was too tight and the sole felt like a rock. The skin feels tight and this is normal. So I went back and read some of the "burglary" reviews and thought I should give it another try. So I got a second pair half a size bigger. When they arrived I dressed them for a walk around the house. After a few hours, the leather part began to mold to the shape of my feet, but the outsole still felt like walking on concrete. And it's very slippery when the leather sole touches the wooden floor. I wear them outside the house after about 3 nights of vomiting indoors. The sole is incredibly slippery on any surface: wood, rubber, marble and even carpet! I literally wanted to ski everywhere. The only places where they don't slip are bumpy footpaths and a gravel path. The sole is still as hard as the steel that damages my sesamoids so badly. I ran less than 1 mile in about 6 hours and I can't believe the bottom rubbing against my skin! And it's not that I wear thin socks; I wear socks so thick they can't soften the bill. The devices show on a short walk how much damage they have done to my heels. I feel like I won't be able to run or exercise in a few weeks and will Cole Haan make up for it? I haven't worn anything this painful in god knows how long. Those who can take a slump must be masochists, otherwise I don't know exactly what they wore to say it might be comfortable after the slump. As a normal guy with above average pain tolerance, hacking is not an option for me, so I don't feel any benefit that is expected after. I was in so much pain that I went into a zen state while walking, and now I can understand the damage that high heels do to women. I understand that so-called "quality" dress shoes prioritize durability over comfort. But if some shoes are so unbearable, what difference does it make that they last a decade. I would prefer a comfortable pair that doesn't need to be broken in and only lasts a year or two.
