I have bought a pair of slouchy slip ons from this brand before and love how comfortable they are. I was also looking for more formal shoes and this leather shoe caught my eye! The leather is soft and the sole is really soft and comfortable. I usually wear an 8.5 and ordered an 8.5 but due to the shape of the shoe it seems a bit smaller so personally I recommend going half a size up. (I like the shoe, it fits a bit snug and has some grip so it worked for me.)
