Based on our own experience these loafers are a fantastic buy. The hand-stitching detail is wonderful and adds an extra touch of elegance to the already sleek and stylish design .The shoes are breathable and have proven to be quite comfortable during the day. The ONLY downside is that the size runs a bit small, so we recommend ordering at least half a size up from your usual sizing. Overall, a great value and highly recommended for those looking for a new pair of loafers..
