I had been searching for a casual, wear with jeans or khakis type of shoe that wasn't a flat, boring loafer but also without a heel that was too high to wear everyday. I typed in "platform loafer" and came across this shoe.  I like the neutral color and I love the style.  However,  the best part is the fit.  I got a 7 1/2 wide and it fits like a dream. The heel doesn't make me teeter and the platform evenly distributes my weight so I don't even feel like I 'm wearing a heeled shoe.  I ran all of my errands in them one day and my feet didn't hurt once. They look good with my jeans,  khakis, and cords.  My only gripe is that the shade is on the green side of khaki. I 'd really love a more tan or beige color.  Still a great shoe.
