Customer Reviews Madewell Frances Loafer

I originally ordered my usual size, 7.5, but they were ridiculously small. The size 8’s fit great though. They are comfortable for around the office but i devotedly would not want to walk much of a distance in them. They are pretty narrow, especially in the toe. Overall they are super cute and fairly comfortable.

They fit great but I did get blisters the first time I wore them. They are gorgeous but will need some breaking in.

fit nice - very comfortable

These are true to size and relatively comfortable right away. Super cute, can be dressed up or down. Will be great for the fall!

Very soft and comfortable! I love how stylish this shoe is. The color is amazing too.

These shoes were a little more pointy than I thought from the picture but still cute. I ordered my normal size and it was a good fit except the toe box was a little tight. I needed them right away so I wore them and walked quite a bit. I had a problem with the little toe on my larger foot as expected but the good news is the leather is stretching. Overall I am happy with this purchase.

It is not the shoe’s fault these didn’t work for me. I have a really difficult time finding a slip on shoe that stays on my foot because I have such narrow heels but regular width toes. If you don’t have problems like that, I’d recommend them. They are beautifully made…smooth, rich leather and a dark brown heel. The footbed is a little hard but I think with wear, they would mold to your feet. I wanted to keep them so bad!

I love these shoes, but like all new shoes, they need to be broken in before wearing them. I was in denial and thought I could just walk wherever, straight out of the box, and I got blisters. My own fault, but it's humbling nonetheless. The shoes are incredibly cute and will probably be very comfortable -- at least I hope so -- but I won't know for another couple weeks.

I am satisfied with the shoes.

Fit was ok in length as I've had other Frances loafers. But the color was NOT this rick brown but a boring washed out brown that disappointed.

Generally, this is a beautiful shoe. However, it is narrow in the toe box. I was expecting that given the style. My foot is on the normal/narrow side and I could tell it would bother my feet after wearing them all day. Also, the pair I got had a bit of black paint (?) or smudge on the top edge of the sole that is showing. I would expect better quality from this brand especially at the price point.

I found these shoes to be stiff rather than soft. They would have had to be broken in significantly. They seemed large to me, compared to other loafers I’ve bought. Also, they were rubbing against my ankle bones. I returned them.

Nice looking. Stylish shoe. Unfortunately, the toe box was too narrow and my medium width foot/ toes were squished and too uncomfortable for this show to work. Darn!!

I love the look of these shoes but they are not very comfortable. They make the ball of my foot hurt. I keep hoping they will break in.
