I had worn Bass loafers for many years, left the loafer for a while but now I'm back and the Sebago Plaza is my favorite.  It offers more arch support than most loafers and doesn't splay out making my foot look wider than it is.  I also prefer the soul which is textured and will be much more steady on winter weathered sidewalks.  I generally wear a size 7 but returned it because it was quite long on me and went down to a 6.  The exchange process was incredibly fast and efficient.  I received my credit before the shoe was even received by Amazon.  I'm sure I'll enjoy these for a number of years and replace them with same!
