comfortable and stylish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's very comfortable and stylish. The back was a bit stiff when I first wore it, but after a few days they were fine.

Cute but Bad Quality
Loved these shoes at first but just noticed that where the leather attaches to the heel at the back of the shoe has separated! I would estimate that I have probably worn them about 20 times max (which is probably more than I actually have), and I am generally very easy on shoes, and usually my shoes last a very long time and still look great. I am SO disappointed in these shoes!

Great tiny loafers...would like to exchange
I need to exchange for the next size, I ordered the same size as all of my other Madewell shoes. There was no receipt or packing list with any information. Stuck some very expensive loafers that are too small....

need THICK socks
Arrived clean and never worn. There are a few scratches. Not sure if this is polyblend. Definitely a hard material. My heel was popping out. I tried adding my normal no-show socks, which are still thin, but yeah, my heel was popping out. If I added in-soles, the top of the shoe would be too tight. This is a pass. I should exchange for a softer leather. I wanted height

Wish I had returned them
I really wanted these to work but after several wears and plenty of blisters, they are still so stiff they are now gathering dust in my closet. I don’t even want to give them away because I don’t want someone else to have the pain. The toe box was so narrow, my feet were going numb but then the heel was so loose they rubbed and slipped all day at work. I don’t buy a lot of new clothes these days so this was really disappointing
