Newman Penny Loafer (Men)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the look of the shoe. However, it seems to run a little larger than my other 5 pairs that are all the same size, but not so much that I would size down. Also, the leather seems to scuff a lot easier as compared to my Randolphs that I wear most often so I have already had to polish treat them after only a couple wears (I do my other shoes once every few months and only have AE dress shoes at this point). I dont know if it’s lower quality materials because it’s imported? For my other pairs of leather sole shoe I have made a poitof ol buying the US made, but on this one I forgot to look before buying. I did get them on sale, and will sale price vs quality ratio was still good, especially as compared to other brands, just not other AE products.

Went for the aesthetics at first, but the pain and discomfort really hits badly. Bought these black factory seconds at a lower price, but the overall design is flawed: the toe box is extremely tight, and the sole is very hard. There is no flexibility to the shoe, and my feet feel fatigued and painful even after 4 month of wearing. The toe box is too tight that I can feel there's insufficient blood flow to my feet, causing the fatigue. Looks fine on the outside, but excruciating in the inside. Additionally, they didn't seem to require break-in at all because it doesn't bend.
