I love these loafers!  They are very well padded and have good arch support.  That said, however, there are significant drawbacks.  First, they are sized narrow and are tight across the bridge of the foot.  I usually wear a 7.5M, but this size was too tight in this style.  I found that an 8M fit more comfortably, and an 8.5M was actually even more comfortable.  So I would definitely recommend sizing up.  Also, they are made of soft suede, which is relatively unstructured.  So they do tend to make one's foot look wider than it actually is.  I wear these as driving shoes and around the house instead of slippers.  They are great for this purpose!
