Customer Reviews Vagabond Shoemakers Alex W

I wear an 8.5-9 depending on the style/brand. My feet are slightly narrow, but I don't typically struggle with medium width being too wide. That being said, these are beautiful, well made loafers! They are a bit stiff right out of the box and the are heavy, but the size 39 was spot on and fits perfectly. I wanted this exact look. It isn't chunky, but it isn't sleek either. They are a classic loafer style with just a hint of trend. The sole is a synthetic, like a rubber, but not a lug sole. They have a high polish, but not too shiny. I am looking past the price because for me, they are totally worth the money!

Beautiful shoe... I normally wear a 9.5-10 so EU sizing tends to be a challenge for me. Unfortunately, the 41 was too roomy and the 40 was too snug... If only they had half-sizes... I think that shoe itself would have been comfortable with little break-in required had it fit me.

I was searching for loafers for some now and here they are!!!!! A bit stiff out of box but magnificent looking shoe! Everything i wanted in a loafer. Trendy yet classic. Worth every penny. Order next size up. You wont regret it. Thanks Zappos.

I have to agree with the other reviews, sizing a little off and they are a bit stiff out of the box. I have worn them a couple times and they do soften up quickly. I wear a 7-7.5 and ordered a size 38 (8) after reading the reviews. They are roomy, but not horrible. I can wear a sock with these no problem. I think the 37 would have been to small so kept the 38. I love the look of these shoes and actually pleased with my purchase. I hope this review helps others!

Shoe was much too small. I usually wear 8.5 or 9 in most shoes. This was a size 39. I couldn’t even get my foot all the way in as it was way too small. Loved the style though.

Based on all of the reviews I ordered a size up ( 37 Euro) I always wear a size 6 or 6.5 ( US) size shoe but when I received the 37, it fell off my feet so I exchanged them for a 36. They fit fine but be warned as the other reviewers have mentioned they are rock solid stiff out of the box and will definitely require a wear-in period before they soften up. The shoes are absolutely gorgeous if you like the classic preppy look without all the weird styles that so many shoe makers have copied to make traditional loafers look hipper or trendy. Great with jeans and a blazer - and I guess worth a little foot discomfort to get to a great fashion icon.

I was searching for loafers and here they are! Perfect loafer, on trend, not too expensive (comparatively) . Tight out of box. Wore with socks on carpet to loosen them up a bit. Look amazing, can't wait to wear them out.

Great loafers, I highly recommend this brand.

Love them! I did size up a size as recommended. Can’t wait to wear them, they are beautiful!

Love the style, but the fit didn’t work out. Shoes felt stiff and uncomfortable. I don’t have a wide foot, but these felt much too narrow.

The shoes are beautiful but very uncomfortable for me, I wore them inside my house for a few minutes and I got blisters even though I was wearing regular sucks. I’m sad for returning them but I couldn’t wear them.

looked cheap to me\

These shoes look exactly like the picture and are a little funkier version of the classic loafer, but I they are at least a whole size too small. Reviews on this site said they were true to size but once I got them and they were WAY too small, I looked on another site and everyone said they are very small!! I wear a 9.5 or 10 and have now reordered them in an 11. Fingers crossed they fit because I really like them!
