Comfortable,
January 26, 2013
By: JCBtwo
"Most comfortable shoe I own. Was disappointed that color in catalogue was different than actual color of shoe. The shoe was much lighter that shown in catalogue and I wouldn't have ordered if the color had been accurate, but the shoe was so comfortable that I kept it anyway."

Clunky,

"The craftsmanship of the shoe seemed very nice. The thick soles looked comfortable. However, my wife and daughter told me I looked like I was wearing clunky houseshoes. I returned them."

"Have been using them for the past
several weeks and thoroughly enjoy
their comfort, plus their good looks
with whatever I'm wearing. Exactly
what I thought they would be when I
read about them. Fit is perfect!

Crying shame,
January 6, 2013
By: Uhvdnjvfg
"My wife bought these for me as a Christmas gift. One of the nicest looking shoes I have ever had and appear extremely well built. However I wear a wide size and they were way too tight. Returned them for 1/2 size larger and the width was OK but then they were too long. Orvis return policy is great so not a problem, but it is a shame because I would have liked to keep them and the price is reasonable.
I see others have had the same problem.

"I took a chance to buy shoes for my husband. Theses were a real hit. They fit perfectly and he says they are extremely comfortable. He also likes the tread on the soles and is very happy with the general look of the shoe."

Excellent,
December 28, 2012
By: JoeFNC

"I can wear these as casual wear - with jeans - or dress them up with nice khaki pants. Not quite dressy enough for dress pants, but that is fine.
They fit well and look great. What more could you want??

Classic Tassel Loafer,
December 14, 2012
By: Fergie3
from Out West
"I have ordered this product three times and each time the shoes have come with obvious imperfections in the leather. I probably would have kept them except that the flaws were very visible on the toe. I will not be ordering them again."

By: Happycup
"The loafers were quite satisfactory except that they didn't fit well - too small, although the eight and a half size usually fits. We had to return them a few weeks' ago. They were never actually worn. I think it best if we try a different shoe in due course but meanwhile perhaps you would credit our Visa account. Loafers were returned to the address indicated for Canadian returns.

Beautiful shoes need to be in wide width,
November 5, 2012
By: Kagg
from Canton, MA
"These are perhaps the most beautiful men's shoe I have ever seen. Unfortunaely, they only come in medium width, which did not fit my husband's foot. I am hoping that they will, at some point, come in wide, because they truly are a well made, attractive shoe."

Beautiful shoe, but...,
September 19, 2012
By: VanT
from Powder Springs, GA
"It's a shame it doesn't come in varying widths. It was just too tight across the instep. Had the shoes fit, I would be a happy man, but they were only offered in one width, and that was too narrow."

"This is another love @ first sight. Tried them on and it was a match. These shoes feel very comfortable and look great. The fit is right. They are just a bit lighter than the photo."

Love these shoes,
June 25, 2012
By: SteveO59
from Yardley, PA
"My order arrived promptly. I ordered my exact size (12) - they fit snuggly and are very comfortable. I have read a number of reviews regarding the sizing and color: I am happy with the fit (I don't like a loose fitting loafer) and they are definitely tan.
These are good looking and comfortable shoes and I highly recommend them."

Top Quality Shoe,
May 2, 2012
By: MinnesotaDoug
from Minneapolis, MN
"I bought this shoe as I was tired of cheaper shoes not lasting long. The shoe is built so well, it should last forever. Very solid, which is what I was looking for. I have wide feet, so it will take some breaking in."

Almost,
November 29, 2011
By: Doc86
"Clearly a shoe with quality and craftsmanship, I looked forwartd to wearing them as I had done with my Vibram lugged Cole Haan Kilties.
However the shoes are smaller than indicated sizes. A 13 all my life, it didn't fit despite stretching by cobbler. Relucantly gave them away as I had worn them a few times."

My Favorite Shoes for the past 6 years,
November 2, 2011
By: ace123
from Charlotte NC
"I've owned a couple of pairs of these shoes and they continue to be my favorite all-around shoe. Very sharp styling, and very comfy with or without socks (the leather lining is extremely luxurious). For those who complain about the tassles coming untied - just double knot them! It looks better that way anyway. Buy true size and they should work fine. I think the distinctive color is what really makes this shoe. It's lighter tan that looks great with anything. Please dont ever quit carrying this shoe ... absolutely fantastic..."

Overall very nice,
October 4, 2011
By: Spymaster
"Very good quality-classic design-great for casual or more dress up occasions. The only issue is the color of the leather, it's rather unconventional. It would also be recommended for the manufacturer to enclose instructions on how to clean or treat this leather. Aside from the good product is the wonderful service and customer support when making purchases from Orvis."

Odd Color,
September 25, 2011
By: Sculptor
from Albuquerque, NM
"The fit and finish of the shoe was solid but the color was not remotely close to tan. The best that I can describe it as is a light olive tone. Reluctantly returned them."

Great shoe,
September 4, 2011
By: Lucyfirdog
from Newark, Ohio
"Ordered my normal size and the shoe fit well. Did not really like the tan color for year round wear and they looked strange with khakis. I purchased at our local shoe shop a bottle of light brown Fiebing's Leather Dye. Changed the color to a medium brown with a reddish tone, easy to apply. Plan on spraying a water resistant spray which will darken them a little, great shoe, very comfortable and light weight. Plan on wearing for traveling Europe. Bought because the good reviews on Orvis."

Nice Blend of Style and Comfort,
August 10, 2011
By: DealGuy
"For me, a half size up was definitely the way to go. (Thanks to others who have reviewed this product!) I was worried about my heels slipping out, as it does with many slip-ons I have tried. This one was perfect after wearing the shoes for about an hour around the house. The workmanship is excellent, and I think it contributes significantly to the comfort of the shoes."
