Whitney Leather Loafer

It is with great reluctance I am returning the shoe of my youth. Loved the style and materials, the fit was good except the heel…my foot lifted out of the Uber large heel cup with every step. Darn.

Have bought Weejuns several times over many years. Was looking forward to the black & white version. Could not get my foot in the shoe. I compared it to my last pair and there was 1/2 inch difference in width at the widest part of the shoe. . Needless to say, they were returned.

I love the look of “Weejuns.” I had several pair in high school and I knew you had to break them in. But my elderly feet couldn’t take the pain and I had to return them. 😢

After initially ordering an 8 as reviews said to size up I ordered a 7.5. My second pair arrived dumped into a big box with a return address for Costco, not Nordstrom where they were loose, scuffed and had ragged edges. I contacted customer service to let them know whatever vendor they used was clearly not up to standard and was just told sorry about that! Now I have another pair of shoes I have to deal with returning. Not great Nordstrom.

I ordered a 1/2 size down from my normal size 9. The 8 1/2 fit me perfectly. I bought the black and white ones and have gotten so many compliments. The one con was that the bottoms are slippery. I scuffed them up on my driveway before wearing them.

I had purchased three penny loafers in different sizes through the GH Bass website, the quality was beyond superb. Taken away by the quality and beauty of the loafers, I decided to purchase a pair through Nordstrom to see if I would be able to score a better size. Upon delivery, I immediately opened the package and discovered the quality was not at all the same as the penny loafers I had seen from GH Bass. There were scratches on the leather, a stain on the toe of the foot, the cognac color wasn't as rich as the GH Bass ones. Very disappointed. What a waste of time waiting on this delivery right before the holidays.
