The insole on these loafers isn't as supportive as other Vionic shoes I've tried (like the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Vionic-Women-s-Caballo-Flat-Black-Snake-9-M/dp/B018TLJQTW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Vionic Women's Caballo Flat Black Snake 9 M</a>&nbsp;or the<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Vionic-Coast-Valeri-Women-s-Espadrille-Flat-Coral-Stripe-8-5/dp/B01HP1LBSG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Vionic Coast Valeri - Women's Espadrille Flat Coral Stripe - 8.5</a>, but they're very good for a loafer. The toe box is wide enough that it doesn't pinch my foot bones like a lot of other shoes can (and I have average feet), and the shape of the heel allows the foot to roll naturally when walking (not clopping, like the Espadrilles). The sole is flexible enough to make walking easy, and there aren't any hot spots that seem likely to cause blisters.

I did size up to an 8.5, based on other reviews, and the size is just right. I've only had these a short time, so I'll update this review if I notice any rubbing or quality issues over time.
