The loafers are well made and look great. I should have gotten a size smaller though. I wear a size 10 and find it too big. This made them too narrow for my feet. The leather upper is soft and comfortable. The soles meet my expectations and should be good on wet surfaces. They should last a long time. If you are looking for a good, comfortable pair of loafers, these are the ones to go for. Consider your sizing needs as mine are a little big and will likely stretch as you wear them.
