We bought four pairs of harnesses to find the one that fits my husband best. He had several bouts of gout and wanted very comfortable shoes for driving in the summer. He tested them blindly, with no regard for aesthetics or price. The Hampden Venetian Sperry men's loafers are the clear winner. Although Sperry's golden goblet looked significantly better, it snuggled snugly against the balls of his feet. He is very pleased with these Sperry Men's Hampden Venetian Slip-On Moccasins as they fit like they've walked straight out of the box. Size 9 fits perfectly.
