👞 Men's Brown Rockport Classic Penny Loafer Shoes Review

I've been wearing them for 21 months now and I feel great. However, after wearing them more or less every other day, the plastic soles split completely in half, edge to edge, about halfway between the toe and instep. Tear through, to the point where the sock moves on its own, held only by the skin, and if it's even a little wet on the outside, my socks get wet. They're comfortable enough that I buy other pairs, but I've rarely had a pair of shoes wear out so quickly.

These were serviceable shoes, but certainly not "classic" and certainly not "dark brown", but rather a bad tan, which made them not very chic, but somehow "Deliberately and conspicuously" to be convincingly random. They were reasonably well done, but just a freaky slacker mongrel. I immediately returned them and bought Cole Hahn burgundy loafers instead which were much better and closer to what I needed.

I've barely put this shoe on and it says it's my size (size 12). I had a similar experience with another pair of Rockport Penny Loafers - they seem to me to be a size and a half too small even though the correct size is listed on the shoe. This shoe in particular was particularly ugly. Ugly skin and mediocre workmanship. A few years ago Rockports shoes were of very high quality. They've definitely been cutting corners lately. I will never buy one again.

A few years ago these loafers became one of my favorite shoes for work and business trips and I bought several replacements for my first pair. However, the pair that arrived when I last ordered them were half a size larger than the ones I currently wear, despite being marked as the same size and item numbers. I got out of healing even after switching to thick socks. The size difference was much larger than the usual manufacturing variance, so I'm not sure I trust Rockport to order online again.

For almost a decade I have been very happy with the men's Johnston & Murphy Ainsworth Penny slip-on loafers because they are comfortable, affordable and fit perfectly. Unfortunately the price of these shoes went up to the point where they could only be ordered on the MFG website for more than double the price I previously paid. my choice. I won't lie, it's only 90%. It's *slightly* less convenient and a little less comfortable, but the price is right. Important: I used Johnston & Murphy shoe…
