I've been wanting comfortable slippers for the terrace for a long time, but also for a short summer walk. My wife loves the brown oak walking shoes, so I opted for a pair of men's loafers. The pumps are exactly what I was looking for in terms of the right mix of style and comfort. I won't lie that I was a bit hesitant with the color choice at first and replaced the traditional brown with blue, but I have to say that they are very popular and look pretty impressive with both jeans and shorts. Even if they can be a little tough. When you first get them you will soon wear them down enough that they are easy to slip on and off, making them one of your favorite shoes for the spring and summer months!
