Customer Reviews Sperry Topsfield Penny Loafer

I haven't owned a pair of loafers for at least 20 years (maybe since high school and I'm 47). In a dress-casual setting, I always wear wingtips or casual oxfords. I needed to step up my loafer-game. Unfortunately, every pair of loafers I tried were too dressy, too casual, too pointy, too patent-leather-shiny, or just plain cheap looking. These Sperry Topsfield hit the sweet spot. I prefer the rubber sole for traction. Only the bottom layer is rubber and it's low-profile so it's tough to notice. Out of the box, the shoes squeaked on hard surfaces but just a quick walk around the house and the squeak is gone. The shoes are dark brown with just the right amount of sheen. Not too shiny but not burnished or rough. These are true to size "for loafers". That is to say, order a half size smaller than athletic shoes. I wear 11 Saucony or Adidas. These are size 10.5M and just right. Perhaps a little narrow but the leather will stretch.

These are true to what is represented - well made with Sperry quality. I probably will come to like the composite welting and heel but it isn't as classy as leather. Would definitely purchase these again or another color.

Fit was fine and styling too, but quality of leather could be better, more supple. Perhaps they’ll break in better than I think!
