Thaine Loafer

I love a good and unique loafer, so when I saw these with the oversized buckle, I didn't hesitate! This is my first pair of A.S. 98 shoes so I read lots of reviews to determine quality and sizing. Based on what I read, I order a 41EU which is my standard size. Putting them on for the first time, I was so disappointed. While they weren't too small, my big toe was definitely pushing up against the harder leather of the toe box, and it was a little uncomfortable. I walked around for a few minutes, really bummed that they weren't going to work for me. I took them off and left them for a few hours. Before boxing them back up I decided to give them one more try, and I'm so glad I did! Upon putting them on the second time, they snugly slipped onto my feet like comforting leather gloves. The toe touch problem was completely gone and they fit my feet like they were made just for me. The different leathers that these shoes are made from are truly luxurious and after only two wearings they are perfect, and the most comfortable loafers I have ever worn. I may have to purchase a backup pair because I will be wearing these forever.
