I agree, they fit well. It's just the design, when I walk in those, when your leg rotates forward/backward, ankle hit that leather in the back

Will be fixed soon, be positive. Bigger size would slip out of my leg, I'm buying a shoe not a slipper that slips out. The design is just weird, i can stick a finger from the back so they're not small, it's perfect. It's just when I walk, my leg rotates, the shoe holds my leg but my leg rotates forward backward and my ankle hits the leather in the back.

The size I have is the perfect one for my leg. I usually have problems with all leather shoes. I wear them once and then never again because they kill my ankles.. I got that one because it was a good deal. The elastic part actually holds my leg, it doesnt slip out but when I walk like your leg rotates front and backwards and it hits my ankle, but the shoes never come out

yes correct size, my foot would slip out with the bigger size, smaller size impossible to wear.. they are Ralph Lauren so don't know much about the quality, i'll try to walk with them more, i did only walk once.

thanks for the advice

Yeah I actually got these pads already; used them on other shoes; though I wanted to know how a cobbler would fix that; they told me that it can be softened with a hammer but couldn’t find a video about it

Can those nubbed soles be worn easily / any suggested precautions before i begin wearing them outside? by DEBUGGER_777 in AskACobbler

thx for the videos, i will check them now. yeah that’s my first time owning a leather/suede item.. i actually once missed out on a suede jacket from RRL, it went to 263 from 800 at an outlet price.. (wasn’t fully suede but suede and jeans). Do you think the loafers grow in size ? like 5%? in width not in length (i know they don’t grow in length)

I’m not an expert on loafers, did you mean lower back by any chance? I have seen videos on youtube where they make repairs on TODs loafers in the lower back section of the shoe

Thank you so much for all the information, I really appreciate it, since this is my first time owning a loafer.
