These penny loafers were a long time arriving, but they were well worth the wait.  The leather is top quality, and the stitching uniform.  I bought the brown, and they are kind of a deep caramel.  They fit very true to size, but when I first put them on I thought they were going to be too narrow.  Usually I would walk around on a carpet, but I could tell by the softness of the leather they would loosen up quickly.  And they did in about 5 minutes.  I am wearing them to work tomorrow in a job that requires a lot of walking.  I am very happy with my purchase.
