Customer Reviews Vagabond Shoemakers Kenova Leather Penny Loafer

I love the way these shoes look. I wear a size 8 1/2 and I ended up getting both an 8 and a 9 to try on since they don’t come in half sizes. The 8 is too small and the 9 is too big. Why are so many shoe companies not making half sizes anymore? I like them enough that I am keeping the size 9‘s and wearing them with heavy socks.

I have a narrow foot and this shoe fit quite nicely. I'm also either an 8.5 or 9 and the 9 fit. It's a chunky style which in comparing to the Bianca which I also ordered I decided to keep the Bianca. It's definitely a quality shoe with very nice leather. If you want a lug sole I recommend this version over the Cosmo which I thought ran short and was very heavy in comparison.

Oh how I love this style for women!!!! It was indeed a larger style shoe (a bit clunky - but that is the characteristic that attracted me) and the front part was too long for a feminine shoe IMO. Also, it was a bit narrow for my comfort.

Oh my gosh! When I put this loafer on I literally felt like Cinderella. For the first time in ages the shoe was comfortable, not too big, not too small and I realized that someone is still making a shoe for the human foot. As silly as this sounds I am so tired of my heel consistently slipping out of shoes as I walk. This despite my heel being a heel that never did that before. They are not making shoes as they should be these days. I am also sick of leather that feels like a board. This loafer is way above all the typical issues and if it works for you, you won't regret getting it. These Vagabonds are worth every penny that they cost. I usually wear a 9.5 but as others had said, these run a bit larger. Also they only come in full sizes. The 9 was fit perfectly. The next size up was too big. I do not intend to wear bulky socks so I kept the 9. They are comfortable without socks or with a thin sock for me! I wear a medium width and I do have some foot issues. These have caused none. I did keep putting them on in the house and wanted to make sure that it wasn't my imagination that the fit was good. Today I wore them out for 4 hours doing errands and they still feel great. They will look nice with jeans, dresses, or anything else you wear with this type of chunky loafer. I have them on with some cashmere joggers in this photo and they looked great too. Thank you, thank you, thank you for restoring my faith that I can get a comfortable and fashionable shoe again!

As everyone else that writes a review says, "these shoes run big". It is unfortunate that Vagabond does not make 1/2 sizes as they loose a large market of people who would most likely purchase their shoes but they do not cater to 1/2 sizes. Oh well, they had to go back.

Nice loafer. Runs a bit big. Cute and easy to wear.

Super cute shoes but they were short on one foot. My toe was right up against the end of the shoe and uncomfortably rubbing. Too bad because they were exactly the style I was looking for.

I'm normally a 9 and ordered a 10 because of the reviews.. Could not for the life of me get my foot in this shoe. SO TIGHT! too small~~~~~

These are very well made shoes with plenty of arch support. They look great with jeans or khakis. I wore them for over six straight hours of standing without any discomfort.

Reviews for this shoe are all over the place. Some swear they had to order a full size smaller, some say they fit true to size, and some insist they had to order a full size larger. I ordered three sizes because I was at a loss. 8, 9, and 10. The 8’s were so small I couldn’t get my feet in. The 9’s felt good everywhere but length, my toes hit the ends. The 10’s were too big, but I figured I could wear them with a comfy insert. Only thing was my 10’s were defective (they had a hard lump of glue in the toe) so I returned them for another 10. Here’s where it gets interesting. The new pair of 10’s fit like a glove. Moral of the story, everyone is right! The sizing on these are all over the place and inconsistent even among the same size. Worth it if you find the ones that fit, because now these are super comfortable. I am a 39/US 9 and I had to order a 40/US 10

love these loafers. comfortable to wear from the start. didn’t need to break them in. quality. versatile shoe.

Shoes were comfortable from the first day I wore them. They are well made and remind me of similar shoes I wore in the ‘90s which are again so popular today.

Beautiful shoe. Just way too tight. I'm usually a 9 to 9 and 1/2. I ordered a 10! Could not even get my foot into it.

The shoes seems nice and well-made. They are just waaaayyyyy too small!

These shoes were very cute on but so heavy. After wearing them for a few hours my feet felt very fatigued. I tried to wear them several times but they were also heavy and uncomfortable.

Super cute looking shoe, way too tight/small, actually hurt to walk in them. I always wear a 10.5 or 11. I purchased an 11 in these and had to return.

The shoes are pretty but I ordered an 8 and they feel like a 7.5 and the inside sole is hard no cushion or arch support do not recommend

I wanted to love these as they were exactly what I had been searching for in a pair of loafers but they are terribly uncomfortable. They do run big so I went a size smaller than I normally wear (37 instead of 38). There is zero arch support and the soles just feel flat and hard. I walk a lot so I immediately noticed how sore my feet were after wearing them for a day. Not from blisters but from poor shape and foot support. I love the way they look but I won't be able to wear them any day where I have to be on my feet... Super disappointed given the price.
