I've worn this same loafer for years, though never at this high of a price! They are comfortable, cozy and even lend some support to my damaged feet. I wear a woman's size 11. This men's loafer fits me perfectly at size 10. Some men's shoes are too wide for my somewhat narrow feet. These fit like a glove. They have a sturdy base, so I go outside wearing them too. (Like yard work or retrieving an item...) They have always lasted me at least 2 years with frequent wearing. I usually wear them all day long or for the portion of my day that I will not be going out anywhere (in public.)
