Mr. Horsebit Pump

I was looking for a loafer with a heel and was upset that the pradas were sold out everywhere. After seeing these online I decided they were the next best thing and purchased them. I’m so glad I did. My feet are a little wide so I bought half a size up and they fit perfectly, although I can tell they’ll start slipping off after I’ve broken them in. I wore them for hours and they were comfortable for the most part. I wore these with a pleated skirt and sheer black stockings and it was so cute. Got so many compliments.

I was looking for comfortable yet stylish loafer with at least 3" heel (because I wear most of my jeans and pants long length) so whenever I travel, I'd be able to be on my feet for more than 5 hours. Last year I bought a pair of loafter from Bottega Veneta and it was absolutely nightmare with excruciating pain on my heel and top of my feet. One of shoes sale person at Saks told me Gucci makes the most comfortable loafer but he said it sold out completely at Saks. I found the Gucci Horsebit pump at Nordstrom and went there to try on since I live a block from the Flagsip store. The sales person (Amine) was not only wonderful/ kind but also very knowledgeable about what shoes being comfy or not comfy (he never put any pressure to purchase). The heel was perfect high (front platform was 3/4" and heel high is 3 1/2", thus it makes 2 3/4" heel), the size was true to size (which I can wear socks on), the front width was wide enough that even thought my feet swells the end of day, it'd be still comfortable and not feeling squeezed/ tightened. This was exactly what I was looking for, because I'd like to wear this shoes all day when we travel and not feeling like I was in so much pain. I seriously can't wait to take this pair of shoes to Japan for our trip. Oh, the metal logo won't press down on top of my feet which is amazing unlike any other high-end brand loafer.

I followed the other reviews that indicated this shoe ran slight large, not the case. I am always a 7 1/2 or 8. Since the 8's are sold out and reviews said to size down I purchased the 7 1/2. They are just tight enough that sadly I have to send them back.

These shoes are beautiful. However, my heel keeps sliding out when I walk even though I bought heel slips. Also, the sole is rubbery and is starting to show wear and tear after one use!! Poor quality.
