Viv Rangers Buckle Leather Loafer

I thought at first that I wouldn't be able to get my foot in the loafer ( I have a very high instep) but once I used a shoehorn (which took me an hour and a half to find, lol), the shoes were perfect. The sides are a bit stiff, but I have not had any issues yet and have worn them part of every day this week- be prepared! EVERYONE will compliment them. Time will tell how the buckle holds up, for now I store them in the little cloth bags they were shipped with (there's a shoe bag too but I don't want them to hit each other). I don't feel that they run small and they are a tiny bit wide but maybe once it gets colder I will want to wear them with a heavier sock.

I have worn many shoes over the years and these are the most comfortable shoes ever!!! When I take them off I can smell the Italian leather as in quality shoes of the past. These are worth every penny!!!!

Really wanted these to work for my Mom. Expectation did not meet reality. Quality was sufficient, but for the price, are you just paying what these cost for that buckle or the shoe? The sole I felt should have been more substantial and could easily see these starting to look 'worn' after only a few wears. The only positive, the interior of the shoe appeared nice. Too bad, it didn't go beyond that. Sadly, returned.
