"The first outing with these loafers was after an arduous and emotionally draining day. There seemed no way I was going to last through an anniversary dinner (even with two bottles). But, as I walked from the car to the restaurant, the insole cushioning made my feet really relax, loosening my back and shoulders. Walking in them was a pleasure.Plus the doggone shoes looked lovely beneath my cuffs. I ended the night dancing and having a high ol' time. Great shoes. Easy to care for; they appear new with each wearing."
