👞 Mephisto Baduard Nubuck Slip-On Loafer Review

I didn't like the sole on the shoes. I sent them back. They were really beautiful to look at. I bought boat-soled moccasins, which I usually wear instead.

I have these other styles so I know what I'm buying is a great casual lightweight shoe with shorts or trousers, order a half size smaller than you normally wear. You don't wear them with socks either - at least I wouldn't. They are comfortable for day and night. You don't buy them as casual loafers - they're meant to make an outfit stand out. I have flat feet and arches - while they are "good," they aren't meant for support.

Mephisto is a great gift for my family. My son has been so gifted for years and loves the laceless style. Baduards are beautiful and elegant. The blue and brown version is perfect for warm weather.

These are a great pair of shoes I will be ordering in a variety of colors BUT they start out tight and will stretch over time. As such, the first few weeks of wear are always difficult before it stretches enough to feel right. The history of these shoes shows that they will stay ok for quite a while before they feel too lost, especially when the shoes are so worn that I have to order another pair anyway. When purchasing such a pair, the buyer should pay attention to the stretch factor.

They will be a little (like a hair) on the big side after buying more than 1 pair. I usually buy a size 12 just in case, but some 11.5 inches fit me perfectly and this is one of those shoes. So comfortable and durable I can't say enough about these shoes. Comfortable all day. I wouldn't hesitate to take a long walk or a conference room in it.
