I needed a brown loafer and ordered these.  The brown choice depicted a slightly textured brown smooth leather.  When they arrived they were a color not mentioned -- a brown patent which isn't even shown.  I thought of returning them, but decided to keep them.  FYI, they're exactly like the black patent (alligator texture, shiny), but a dark brown.  As for comfort and fit, they're fine, true to size, very comfy.  Quality is average.  I wouldn't say these shoes are worth more than the $34 I paid for them.  Shipping was fast.
