These Allen Edmonds Walden Loafers are about as good as it gets if you want a premium loafer-style shoe. I bought these in Burgundy and they look terrific. The Burgundy color on mine is pretty dark, and looks more like the AE Merlot color, but no worries, the shoe looks great. These shoes are suitable for business attire and a suit, or are terrific for more casual wear as well. The fit and finish are very good. The shoe tends to fit on the tight side; if you like to wear thick socks you may want to order a half-size large. Your individual foot will tell. I have found that many brands of loafers are like this; you really need to try on the shoe to ensure that you get the size that you want. That is the case here. Excellent quality loafers. RJB.
