Calie Braided Flat Loafer

High quality craftsmanship and materials. Great value, as these are genuine leather at the same price as faux leather designs. Fit true to size. Comfortable. Look great. Flattering with skinny jeans, or dress pants. Love the coolness of the open weave that allows air circulation. I wear them both with and without socks. Quick shipping too. I highly recommend.

This is an attractive shoe, a modern version of the old-fashioned penny loafer. (And yes, you can put a penny in them if you want to!) The insole is very comfy, but one of the shoes hits a spot on the side of my foot that is irritating. It may just be my foot, although I don't have this problem with other shoes. They are well-made with genuine leather uppers. True to size.

-UPDATE: The left shoe is MUCH tighter and the braided leather presses very uncomfortably against my pinkie toe and the side of my foot.-UPDATE: The unevenness causes me to walk crooked (not even kidding) and the slick, clackity sole makes it so you can literally HEAR how badly these are fitting me.-UPDATE: The right shoe is actually worse. The back ripped my heel open the first time I wore them. I added cushions to the back heel inside the shoe. Problem solved right? NOPE.-UPDATE: Today I have a NEW blister on my right heel despite the cushions bc the back of the right shoe slips off like a flip-flop. The left doesn't.-UPDATE: Overall, since I've worn these a few times, I don't recommend them! I literally walked from my car, about 3 blocks, to my desk, that's it. I stood up just now for the first time in hours and my feet are pissed.-The current price point of about $120 USD seems a bit steep to me but they ARE quite nice.-The silver color is vibrant and shiny.-Fit feels true to size for 8.5 women's US.-Real leather outside, faux leather inside which isn't my favorite for $120, but it's fine.-Even the "nicest" faux leather will separate and peel off over time (which can be removed with a lint roller) but still.-The insole is surprisingly cushioned and very comfortable.-The outer sole is not too slick and not too clickety clackety (but they are a little bit).

Very well made, attention to details, love the style. Fits as expected. / little on the thin side for the heel section.

Above average quality, exceptional craftsmanship, soft and supple leather, fit is comfortable and true to size.
