As a result of my tests these loafers are not only stylish but also very comfortable to wear for long hours. The houndstooth pattern gives an edgy look which can be easily dressed up or dressed down. The handmade construction is impressive, and it's obvious that the manufacturer paid great attention to detail. The only downside I found is that the soles could be a bit thicker for added support .Overall, these loafers are a great addition to any wardrobe and are worth the investment..
