Academy penny loafers

Purchased these in size 8 medium width in the black and the burnished beet which is a cross between a dark brown and deep burgundy. They are gorgeous shoes, look very elegant on the feet, but they run narrow. I was able to stretch them to fit a bit more comfortably and it did work so I was able to wear them twice. But then I got the size 9 on sale and they fit so much better. These are not your grandma's penny loafers. They can be worn with any outfit and elevate it ( well maybe not a ballgown but who knows?). Very modern and well made. Size up if you are a true medium width. If you are a narrow width you could probably go with your normal size. Any doubt go up at least a half size. Love these!

This was my worst purchase ever. I was extremely excited to buy, because of the color. However, my excitement quickly changed to disappointment when I opened the box. They run very small. The are hard and stiff. I couldn’t even walk in them, because there was no bend or give to the material. If I did manage to walk, it is the kind of material the would crinkle and not in the cool worn leather way either. The worst part is, I used my J.crew reward on these. So if I returned, I would loss my discount. (insert sad emoji here) J.crew needs to me more consistent with shoe sizing.

I was excited to receive the shoes. They look nice however the fit was very tight. I have wider feet and the other J Crew style called “Ryan loafer” fits me well. For this shoes, I will have to hope that after I break them in, they will be worth it. Doubtful if it’s worth the suffering. I would return but I got them on final sale.

Have been looking at these for while and was lucky my size was available during a sale. An updated classic look. Very happy with my purchase .

The quality and material is that of and even greater than very expensive loafers. Con is that they are narrow and stiff, but hoping to break them in.

I've always been admiring these shoes and finally found them on sale at a great price so went for it. I do really love them even though they're a little shiny and I typically don't like the patent leather look. They aren't as shiny as patent leather but not muted like most leathers and do look stylish and nice. They are comfy and certainly made of a great quality.
