These shoes arrived when promised and in good condition.  They are fine looking shoes and look to be of very good quality and construction.  They fit well but were a bit tight (this was expected as the loafer type shoe tends to stretch as they are worn) but not so tight as to be uncomfortable. I wear size 12D in most footwear but ordered the size 13 which gave me extra toe room and am glad I did.  These shoes are comfortable to wear without socks as a house shoe but  also serve very well to wear with socks as casual shoes when you leave the house.  I experienced one problem upon my first wearing.  I put them on with socks and briefly walked around in the house.  They felt comfortable, a bit tight across the top of my foot, with enough toe room.  I then continued to wear them as I sat to read. After a few minutes my feet began to feel unusually warm.  I removed the shoes and detected a chemical smell coming from the shoes.  I believed the smell must come from some of the process used in finishing the leather.  I liked the shoes and decided to keep them and let them sit exposed to the air, which I did for about two weeks.  When I tried them again after this, the problem with my feet feeling warm was no longer present.  The shoes came stuffed with paper and inside a substantial  box. I believe the shoes are packaged too soon after the manufacturing process and the chemicals used in this process were not given enough time to dissipate before the shoes were packaged inside an almost airless package.  I am happy with them now and enjoy wearing them with or without socks.
