Florsheim Brinson Kiltie Tassel Loafer Men's Shoes Review

Shoes look good. At first they were tight and needed a bit of buckling, but once they loosened up I really liked them until after just two months one of the tassels came loose. I have owned Florsheim's several times and loved them. They've usually lasted so long that I've replaced them with soles a couple of times, so I've decided to go back to them, but I'm disappointed this time.

They look great but they are very stiff out of the box. Make sure you have shoe lasts and thick socks and are prepared for pain. When I first tried them on (size 13) they dug horribly into my outer knuckles. After about 3 socks and some work with the skin, they get used to it and don't feel bad.

I have a pair of Brinson boots and a pair of Lexington loafers (same but without the vamp strap). It's much better to look good than to feel good. If you know what I mean! These certainly aren't the most comfortable of loafers, but the initial insane stiffness is only temporary. I wear 10D and they fit true to size. They are very tough at the beginning. The first day of wearing there was unbearable pressure on the top of the arch of the foot. I started researching and experimenting on how to…

Florsheim used to be great shoes when they were made in USA (Chicago) but now they are made in China with terrible quality. They're shiny, great but terrible quality, and won't last as long as old Florsheim. I bought a pair of these 10 years ago when they were genuine and not junk. Unfortunately disappointed.

Nice shoes. Fits as expected. Really tough to start with. Must "roll". But happy with the purchase. Thanks for attention!

These shoes are exactly what I needed! The outsole makes them an even better option for wet weather! Turns out half a size bigger, but still fits great! I love color! A great option for dress pants of a dark color other than black! Also the perfect way to expand your shoe closet!

Very good but a bit stiff but I think they will probably wear out over time. Unfortunately, I only wear these modern pieces on special occasions, which are very rare.

These were the worst shoes I've ever owned. After trying to put them on a couple of times, I threw them away. I wouldn't even donate them as a gesture of goodwill because I wouldn't wish them on anyone. The skin was hard as stone and wouldn't relax no matter what I did to it. Every time I put them on I started limping after an hour!

I've been wearing Florsheim shoes since the 1980s. These are the worst shoes I have ever bought from them. Even after a year, I have trouble getting my feet into a shoehorn. The skin never seems to give or conform to your feet. Wouldn't buy them again.

These shoes run a little big. I wear a size 10 and have an extensive collection of classic shoes. I think the exact shoe size is about 10 1/4, not 10 1/2.

Beautiful shoes, well made and fit perfectly. My sleeves are 10.5M and some of his boots damaged his ties but the sizing didn't work. After a lot of shopping and returning, I remembered that my father would drive 2 hours to buy Florsheim. now i know why

The shoes fit well once I put them on but my god it's difficult and a bit painful to put on. The skin is also very hard. That's my review.

This is my third pair of these shoes, I am very strict with them. But they hold up great and look fantastic until the end. I still have an old pair, I can even make them new.

I don't think the shoes were real Florsheim. I have had shoes for years and compared them to the ones I have, they were clearly not identical. I would be very skeptical about buying this type of shoes online at this price. there must be a reason for this

My last pair lasted several decades. I hope the same from these. The main difference is the rubber outsole. The last pair was leather which, as expected, has had to be replaced several times over the years.

For the price it's a bargain, $40 a little more than looks, the leather is stiff and although it's a bit big the shoe is uncomfortable, looks good but I won't buy it again despite the price.

I've always had a "D" width but it got too narrow with age. I wanted to go a little wider so I chose "E" but they sent me "E-3" and it was so lost it didn't work at all. I was able to return it and get a refund but am still disappointed that there isn't another option for a comfortable fit. The other problem with Florsheim shoes is that they ALWAYS sell out in my size. You would think that they would find out more people needed these sizes and make them bigger. Thank you for thinking of ME…

After reading the reviews here and on other sites, despite the comments on the stiffness, like others who have owned Florsheim shoes for many years, I decided to order them anyway. And like many writers, I own and wear many types of shoes, ranging from expensive to budget, depending on the need and use of the shoe, and I generally find Flshm shoes on the higher end of the line. But compared to Cole-Haan, Johnston/Murphy, Allen-Edmunds, or even Bass or Timberland. Unfortunately it was a joke…

This was my first review shortly after I bought the shoes in July 2014: These shoes are comfortable and fit well. They are never too tight and shrink well after a few days of wear. I am updating them now (January 2015) because the leather on the outside of the shoe where they flex when walking is already tearing badly. . I bought them in July, now it's January next year, so I only have to wear them for about six months. It seems to me that I just broke them and they already need to be replaced.

The top is very tight. I mean it's hard just to put your foot in a shoe and you need a shoehorn to close a deal. But I love the style and hopefully with a small donation I can stretch them enough to wear to formal occasions. It's not like I have super high arches. Just the opposite. I usually put orthotics in my shoes. They don't fit in these Florsheimers (and leave enough room for my legs). buyer? Beware! And if you click on these shoes, be prepared to return them. Too bad Boston doesn't make…
