My first pair of Eastland loafers were my favorite shoes and lasted more than ten years. I hope these last just as long because they are even better! They have a soft, cushiony inside with great arch support. They don't pinch. I wore them for a trip to the zoo, which involved a lot of walking, and my feet felt great (my poor husband was jealous because his feet had blisters on top of blisters after that trip). I like how they look, too. Not too dowdy, not too fancy. Just right for what I normally wear - nice blue jeans. I sometimes need wide-width shoes, but I bought these in normal width (because they were really, really on sale) and they are just right. Bottom line: I got a great pair of shoes that I will wear a lot, and I didn't pay much for them.
