cute but quite small!
I ordered my normal size and could only get my foot in half way. This shoe is quite narrow, but even if it was wide enough to get my foot in, I could tell it would have been too small. Returned the 6 regular for a 6.5 wide and 7 regular. Hopefully one of those fit!

Much Too Small
The style and materials were lovely. Unfortunately I would have needed to go up 2 sizes for length. The width might have been ok but since I couldn't get my foot in I'll never know.

Almost Perfect!
I will headline by saying, they are super cute…I just find the exterior texture to have more sheen than the pictures showed online. Also, the color is more army green than khaki.
The lug sole is the perfect “umph” for us shorter girls that really want to try out this trend… or bring back a small part of the 90s!
Size wise, I went with my normal size (8.5) and they are a tad looser than I expected— with or without socks; however, the cushion of the foot support makes up for any major concerns.

Balin loafer
Awesome true to size! I'm an EU 38, and the fit is perfect. I love the quality of this loafer, and the padding inside of the loafer is great! Love!

Super narrow.
Own several pair. Always fit perfectly
I can't even get my foot in these. Sized wrong obviously. All my other shoes fit. :(
