I have been looking for a pair of patent loafers to polish up my casual wardrobe. My order from Amazon arrived just in time for a trip to Florida. These shoes pack well, provided a very nice touch to my outfits and were comfortable right off the bat. Fit-wise, the shoes were size 11 and I am probably an 11-ish (12 being too large) so I don't wear heavy hose with them. NO big deal. Love 'em and I will enjoy them!
