"One of the few Made in USA shoe companies left. These shoes are feminine styled man shoes and are pretty comfy. I ordered an 8.5 and they fit like 9's. I am returning and hoping the 8 fits just right (albeit wide). I cannot speak to quality but I would home that DSW of Vintage Shoe Co would stand behind them if they are so faulty as other reviewer experienced."

Made in Italy not Brazil, fits like a slipper
"I ordered these as well as 5 other styles of Mercanti Fiorentini shoes. I am adamant about buying shoes not made in China and it is getting harder and harder to do so. Thankfully I happened upon this brand here at DSW and I am thrilled that I can buy Italian made shoes for the same prices as cheap imports. That said, like all of the other Mercanti Fiorentini shoes I ordered, I chose these in an 8, when they arrived they are actually 38 (Euro sized). I am always a Euro 38.5 so had I known these were sized that way I would have opted for the 9 (assuming it is a 39). All of the other styles in 38 were too small for me; this tan flat is the only exception. These fit longer in the footbed and wider than any of the other styles I tried and are the only pair I do not have to send back for a bigger size. So, I would say these fit like an American 8 or a Euro 38.5. The tan color is perfectly nude, the leather is really soft & they do have leather bottoms, so they will not be an everyday shoe for me but they are keepers! They literally feel like I am wearing house shoes!"

great shoe, great price for Italian made
"This is a great shoe. I am almost always an 8 (but I almost always wear a 38.5 in euro sizing). This shoe IS EUROPEAN sized, so the 8 I ordered came as a 38, which is fine for those 38's out there, but too small for me. I am afraid that the 9 is a 39 and would be too large (if DSW paid for my shipping back AND forth I would try again to see. These are on the narrow side (fit me like a glove which I love, the leather and quality is nice. All and all it would be a keeper if it wasn't for the fact that 38.5 is not an option."
