I bought this shoe about 1 month ago because I've literally spent 6 months looking for a nice looking, professional, medium size heel, just the right color brown shoe. I didn't like this shoe at first because I thought that penny loafers were so old fashion (like middle school take a penny and pop it in the slots old fashion shoe), but because of my lack of interest in other brown shoes, I went ahead and purchased it despite the fact that Anne Klein seemed to not have made a size 9/9.5 in this color of the shoe; hence the reason I give it four stars. A size 9/9.5 is a common size and I just don't understand why weren't there any made in this size. I had to buy a size 10 (which actually looks like a 8.5 or 9 on my feet), and it was flipping all off my feet until I had to stuff it with tissue and wear heel liners. And Yes, it was worth it to do that to me because these really are very nice, well made, sophisticated shoes and as I mentioned, I just haven't seen any other brown shoes that I like. Though it's a penny loafer, it has been updated with a sleek sexiness that is bathe in a rich warm dark to medium brown maple tone and this color is just perfect for my wardrobe. Being as particular as I am about the style and heel of the shoe, I had to make due with the size and I am glad that I did.
