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

Fav shoes ever!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes go so well with everything, and they only took a few wears to break in. Now, they're so comfy and I wear them all the time.

Uncomfortable and Show Poor Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought these were the perfect loafers for me, but I've had them for almost a year now and still find them incredibly painful and almost too stiff to walk in. Appearance-wise, they very quickly developed wrinkles in the upper part of the shoe that make it look cheap even though it says it's leather.

Cute and chic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my mom's birthday present and we have both been working on breaking them in. After a few hours it begins to hurt a little but nothing a few wears won't be able to fix! So cute and comfortable enough. Received compliments!

Very stiff
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were so stiff I almost couldn’t get my feet in. They were actually painful to walk in but after getting through a full day in socks they loosened up. Definitely break in a bit at home before you wear out.

So uncomfy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so uncomfortable I can’t wear them unless I know I will be sitting there entire time. I tried to break them in but they still kill my feet. I wish I could return them but it’s too late and I feel like I wasted my money.
