I had this pair of shoes on my wish list for months. I do love the styling of these kiltie-style loafers, which are preppy with a twist and don't have the more common (and unattractive to me) tapered or pointed toe box. I'd read the reviews about the too-small sizing for the All Black shoes that are made on this shoe last, so I ordered larger than I normally wear in European sizes. Sad to say, they were still too short. Had they not been, I would have been able to accommodate the proportionately wider footbed by padding the fit with an insole. But to go up yet another size in length, they'd be so wide as to be unwearable for me. Boo. Return them I must.
