Sam Edelman Womens Loraine Chain Embellished Loafers

I agonized for a long time over this purchase but it was so worth it. Comfy out of the box, soft, supple leather, classic silhouette. I needed a black flat professional shoe I could commute in (I walk a fair amount each time I go into work), and after scouring the internet, I determined these would be the best value, even though by my standards, they are an investment. Worth it. I am between an 8.5 and 9 (I have long, narrow feet, so sometimes a 9 will be too loose while an 8.5 is too short), and I sized down to an 8.5 in these based on reviews, and they fit perfectly - I agree with other reviewers that they run a little on the long and narrow side, which works out for me. They are also meant to be a somewhat “fitted” shoe and the leather will probably stretch a little over time, but I feel confident that I could still wear them both with and without no-show socks after they are broken in. I love the quality and classic style you get with Sam Edelman without having to pay designer prices. My husband gifted me the white Ethyl sneakers (size 9) for my birthday, and I am in love with those, too.

These are soooo cute and comfortable. I walked 6 miles on a trip to Chicago and they were incredible. I want them in every color!
