Gavney Patent Loafer

Normally I'm a 12-13 shoe. In dress shoes, I'm usually a 12-12.5. Shoes that stretch easily I do a 12, but they are SNUG at first - borderline blister inducing snug. In a Nike sneaker, I'm a 13. I figured order the 12 since in every tuxedo I've worn - the matching shoes are a 12 too (snug, but a 12). NOPE. The 12 was massive. Heel coming out of the shoe massive. I just had to return. I ordered an 11.5 and I'm hoping those fit properly. Think I may even need an 11 in these. An event is coming up, so that has me nervous...likely won't have time to break them in, or get a smaller size if the 11.5 don't fit. The shoe is beautiful and the was a lot of cushioning in it, so they felt comfortable (aside from being huge). Do yourself a favor though - if you order these, size down at least 1/2 a size from what you'd wear in any other dress shoe brand.

Great looking shoe for any formal event. Suggest as with all new shoes to break them in by wearing around the house first and before the day of your event.

Looks fabulous! Like most new shoes, I assume i just need to break them in. They were just not as comfortable as I was hoping!

I wore to a white tie event and the shoe was so classic and comfortable the entire night!

Fit well even though I have a slightly wide foot. Comfortable to dance in

The shoes looked great with my new tuxedo. I should have worn them before the event. Nonetheless, stylist and cool!
