Just wanted to add my further opinion on these shoes. baglvr922 said that these are most comfortable shoes she owns. I feel the same way. With the possible exception of sneakers, I never have any luck finding shoes that won't pinch me or give me blisters or sore soles. I have been wearing these loafers daily for the last week, and I haven't had any issues at all. The soft, flexible leather adjusted to my feet quickly, so I didn't even require much of a "breaking in" period. I've never been a shoe person, but I would be a shoe person if I could find more shoes like these.
