EastlandWomen's Newbury Penny Loafer

I've been wearing these shoes at least once a week for the last several months and overall I really like them. I have an average width foot and wear between a 7.5 and 8.5 depending on the shoe. Usually, a size 8 fits perfectly but these feel a little more like an 8.5 in a wider shoe. I have to wear thick socks to keep my foot from sliding around. Even so, they're still comfortable and they seem durable.

First- let me say after reading the reviews- I wasn't sure what I would get- some claimed they got shoes all scratched up. It was a gamble on the size as well. - The shoes I received were pristine in condition- no scratches, gouges, etc. Very nice. Beautiful color. This feels like the quality that I've had in an Eastland over 20 yrs ago! I was surprised by the quality because it seems all the good brands have compromised their quality. No glue blobs, no stitching loops exposed, this appears to be a very well made shoe. I even took the insole out and it's very trim and cleanly constructed on the inside too.-Sizing- this is always a gamble-I normally wear a size 10. I have wide feet. I generally get rubbing on top of my foot if the ball of my foot is too tight in a shoe width wise. I was worried the 10s would be too narrow there and uncomfortable. As far as my sizing goes- for comparison- I never have luck with a dress shoe from Naturalizer or Clarks- all those cute narrow footed shoes, sometimes an Aerosole if it's wide and an open back- same goes for the store brands from Fred Meyer or Kohl's. But I can wear a size 10 Sperry casual (go figure). Based on my experience with other dress shoes and some of the reviews- I chose to go up to an 11. IF there had been a 10.5 - these would be 100% perfect. The 11s are just a skosh too big- but nothing a thicker sock won't fix. They don't pull off my heel and there is plenty of room in the toe box and ball of my foot area.My foot is not sliding around or shifting or any odd rub areas. I'm not really a hose stocking person so the larger size made sense. To me- a too small shoe is miserable and ends up making my back hurt and while I do think these would have stretched to fit- I can't stand breaking in leather shoes. It's annoying. Although in all fairness I think breaking in a true quality leather shoe should not be confused with all the "manmade" crap that is out there- so who knows? I'm happy with the size I chose.- These look nice- the heel and slightly chunky sole are modern without a total throwback to the overly chunky shoes the late 90's and early 2000's. The heel height is doable and realistic. I have short legs for being tall and this helps my hemline on pants.- I will currently give these 5 stars- this is a very well made shoe. How it wears and if it lasts longer than 6 months will be the next test.- I will gladly call this a classic loafer from a quality shoe maker that has transcended time. :D

Comfort to attractiveness ratio is ok. A little heavy and bulky imo. But they are comfortable. Rubbed my heel a bit when wearing without tights or socks.

I have been searching for a comfortable shoe to replace my beloved Cobb Hill Dierdre. This shoe is it! In fact, it is a bit more stylish, just as comfy, less pricey, and perfect for everyday wear. I love the heal height and the non-slip soles! I’m planning to purchase another pair that is similar, but with a metal embellishment. I will write an update if anything changes.

I could never even squeeze my toe in these. SOO small. They were very cute and well made however. I had to return. :(

I got these in February and wear them maybe 3-4 times a month to sit at a desk all day. All of the threads are breaking and they’re already falling apart. Such a disappointment. Don’t waste your money!

I’m 49 and I’m soooo happy to see these shoes and flare leg pants back in style! It takes me back to the early 2000’s when I dressed like Lorelai Gilmore and was living my best life! Outside of that, the shoes fit great and are comfortable. I wear a 7 or 7.5. I ordered a 7.5 and they slipped off of my heels. I ordered the 7 and they were a little tight. Since they are leather I figured they would stretch out a little and they did. BUY THE SHOES

Very comfy and stylish

I wear these shoes to work. Love the look of them but the soles make them a bit heavy. They are well made and durable which I plan to get a lot of wear out of them.

The shoes were very good quality leather and seemed well made. I am a shoe sized 6.5 - 7Ordered these in 8.5 US medium, which should be 6.5 UK. I couldn't get them on!

Gorgeous leatherUnfortunately they didn’t fit and I had to return them.

Shoe did not feel sturdy

I have worn a several times and the break in period has been short and sweet. I really like these shoes.
