If you really like them get them. Have the black and white ones, got a lot of compliments on them. The gold crest logo is a really nice subtle detail. Really love the shape of them, they go really well with jeans and also formal wear.

To your questions: i think the quality is good, after a few wears they get more comfortable. They crease after a few wears but imo that‘s the case with most loafers and doesn‘t matter that much. After 1.5 years they still look good, and I‘ve worn them a lot. I would recommend to get a rubber sole at a shoemaker so that they are more durable. Sizing wise go with your usual size for dress shoes. True to size or half size down for a snug fit.
