Over the years, I have worn every expensive brand of loafer that is available and every last one of them was uncomfortable and had a painful break-in period.  This Nunn Bush loafer has been just the opposite.  It was comfortable from the first moment I slipped it on and there was no break-in period at all.  It looks just as good as the other brands but is far less expensive and, for me, has been far more comfortable.  If I ever need another loafer, I will definitely be buying Nunn Bush again.
