These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned! They are cute enough to pull off with a casual outfit (and less expensive and better made than Sperrys) yet professional enough to wear to work. The leather is very soft and has a good stretch to it, it runs perfectly true to size, and the sole is a cushiony, flexible rubber that is extremely comfortable to walk on. I've gotten a lot of compliments from friends who have spent more on Sperrys and other high end loafers. Plus, the Minnetonka name has a solid reputation and I've worn a few other pairs of their shoes in the past with no complaints. Absolutely love these! I have never owned Moose leather but it seems similar to Deerhide, so I will try to test some leather products on it so I can keep it soft and clean. Great buy, good price, fast shipping!
