"Via Spiga never disappoints. These loafers are classic and very stylish. They are made of thick, quality leather with a high shine that is not patent. The inner lining is soft leather.
It will take a little while to break in because of the thickness of the leather, so I have been wearing them inside for short periods of time. I have narrow feet, so I need a thin sock or an extra insole.
I typically use a thin orthotic insole for arch support, and that fits very well - my heel does not slip out of the shoe.
These feel about 1/4 size long. I have 7 1/2, and they are a little long, but not a full size 8. Thin socks or footies take up the extra space until they soften and mold to my feet."
