"The Merge Loafer is a very comfortable loafer! They feel good when you put them on, and still feel good when you take them off. Many loafers are too tight across the widest part of the toes, but these, with the strap placed a little past the widest point of your foot, are very comfortable. The insides are nicely padded, with a comfortable walking surface, and fit properly at the arch. They are a little loose at the heel for me, but not enough to be a problem."
"Needing to replace a pair of Bandolino leather high-heel knee-high boots, I ran across these and kept my fingers crossed. Ordered online and picked them up at a local DSW . . . and was thrilled with the way they felt on my feet. The arch fits perfectly. The inside zipper makes them easy to get into, and Bandolino added a bit of elastic at the back of the heel along the top edge, which gives them a snug fit, in addition to being more comfortable when you are sitting with your knees bent, or flexing your foot. Also, they come up about 2" above your ankles which makes them work better with slacks, and looking more like a dressy boot than a bootie."
