Customer Reviews Nine West Gables 3

If you're seeking a fun, stylish, lug-sole loafer AND if you have a relatively wide foot, then this is the shoe for you! I searched, and searched, and searched for a lug sole loafer - I must have returned 6-7 different styles. It was so hard to find one that wasn't so stiff, and that I could actually get my foot into! These loafers finally ended my search... they are fairly easy to put on (although the first time was the hardest, then they loosened up), they are very comfortable, and they are just the right balance of chunky and elegance. And the gold embellishment is just perfect. The only reason I gave them a 4-star for style is that I wish they were more of a shiny patent - but not a big deal.

Love this shoe! True to size. I typically wear 8.5. Ordered 8.5 and 9 but kept 8.5. The sole had enough grip for winter so I don’t slide on ice.

I just love these shoes and they are really comfortable. I'm 75 so I need comfort. They are so stylish and they make me feel young!

Super comfortable and they don't squeeze your toes, lots of room in the toe bed compared to other loafers (Sam Edelman) that I love but can't wear. Material feels and looks quality.

Okay these are great, I love them. The style is very cute with the cutie gold buckle and the material is smooth, bendable not too stiff, and comfortable to walk in. I haven’t worn them to a full shift yet and I’ll come back to write a second review after I’ve spent a full shift in them standing for a few hours, but I have been wearing them for a few hours around my house and here’s what I think: If you want to wear these with socks I would suggest going a half size up from your normal size, especially if you experience bloating or swelling like I do. I got a 7.5 and my normal shoe size is a 7.5 and it fits very comfortably exactly to the shape of my foot onto my bare or nylon-ed foot while I’m not bloated. However wearing socks put way too much pressure on my toes and squished my foot into feeling like I was wearing a pointed toe shoe. So - if you want to wear these with socks, half size up. I even might suggest if you bloat daily you might want to half size up. I only bloat one or two weeks out of the month, and I only work 4 hour shifts, so I’m not worried about the fit in that way for me. If you’re wanting to wear these just bare foot, thin nylon type material, or similar thinner socks, it fits comfortably but snugly. So I’ll tell you a trick I used to get them to fit comfortably and not too, too, snug. So, if you stuff each shoe with two chonky socks per shoe, and hair dryer the heck out of it for a few minutes, it fits a little looser and more comfortably and easily slides onto your foot where as before I did that I could sill get my foot into it but I had to press firmly into my heel and toes to get into the shoes and there wasn’t room to wiggle my toes. But now there is! Okay other thing - I would suggest wearing at least nylon or a sock that goes above your ankle with these or even a bandaid or medical tape so there’s no rubbing, because until they break in I feel like they might rub a bit on my heel. There’s some slight pressure there for me, not anything painful at all or pinchy but it’s something to take note of. Honestly I think if I used the hairdryer again on the back of the shoes a little longer with the socks stuffed in, they’d probably be fine. For sizing reference, I’m 5 foot 2 inches, I’m 27 years old, and I weigh 190. My feet range from narrow to wide depending on if I’m bloating or not. When bloating I can go up a half size (8), or if it’s really bad bloating (like bloating plus a plane ride), I can go up to a size 8.5 shoe.

I love this shoe. It feels great on my foot. The width is perfect; the length is true to size. I'm looking forward to wearing it with pants, jeans, and skirts.

After trying 2 other shoes I chose these Nine West. Love them. Don't hurt my big toe joint and fit my normal size 6. They also didn't feel as heavy as the Steve Madden shoes.

I usually wear an 8 1/2 but lately, it seems I have to order 9's in order to have enough room in the toe box. I ordered a 9 in these, too big. So I returned them and got an 8 1/2 and they are absolutely perfect! Cute, comfy, fit perfectly in toes and heel (I have a narrow heel). Highly recommend and if they have other colors, I will order more!

So cute! And they go with everything!

I needed a pair of shoes that are comfortable enough for walking through airports and city streets and polished enough to wear to work meetings to avoid having to travel with an extra pair of shoes. These shoes fit the bill. Comfortable and well fitting out of the box. Although I'm a fan of loafers in general, these shoes meet my needs and at an affordable price.

Extremely comfortable and stylish. I was worried the sole would be too clunky but it's perfect. I wear these with everything and retro cute crew socks

All is GREAT ! Lug Sole platform - excellent support ! I wish more different colors in this type of design ..!!!

These are great loafers, the material is nice and soft. I don't think they would take much time in breaking in. The only issue I had was the heel of my foot kept slipping out when walking.

Was a little large, especially if worn with thinner socks or no socks. Personal opinion is the gold buckles were a little garish for my taste.

These are oddly cut shoes. The 9 was too tight in the toe box and short. The next half size up was a better length but the toe box was still too small and the heel width was wider. This means that every time I tried to walk, the back of the shoe was too loose and would come off of my foot. Not a great design.

These are cute shoes. A good size lug sole that is not too clunky. But a little heavy for me since I plan to be walking a lot. Looking for something a little bit lghter and softer. Really liked the style though.

Based on reviews I went a half size smaller. I am between a 5.5 and a six, so I ordered a 5.5... too tight . I shoukd have ordered a six. Overall I found the shoe to be a bit too heavy.

I wanted these shoes badly. Tried my usual 8, but too big. I returned and tried a 7 1/2. My foot slips out of the heel with each step. I’ve returned this pair, too.

I wanted these shoes so badly. I ordered my usual size 8 the first time but returned them as they were too big. The 71/2 fit my foot properly for size, but the heel area was too large and my feet slipped out. If you have a narrow heel, these are not for you. Otherwise, they are a great looking shoe. I can’t speak to comfort.

Too small. Looked like a nice, well made shoe. Hard material. Very tight on my narrow feet.

I ordered these in black and LOVE them. So I thought I would get a second pair. The red is nothing like the picture....it's a really odd color and I can't imagine what I could where it with. Fit is great though.
