★★☆☆☆
Not the best for wider feet
I typically wear a size 9, and while the length is okay, they feel quite narrow. The raffia doesn't offer much give, so they pinch a bit. Perhaps not ideal for anyone with slightly wider feet.

★★★★☆
Lovely texture and feel
The openweave raffia texture is beautiful and feels very high quality. They're surprisingly light on my feet. I did find the toe box a little tight initially, but it has softened up a bit.
★★★★☆
Very chic design
The Black Openweave design is beautiful and the raffia is really unique. They feel quite lightweight, perfect for spring. I had to size up half a size to a 9 for the best fit though.
★★★★★
Simply elegant and so comfortable
I am so impressed with these loafers. The Black Openweave raffia is elegant and sophisticated, perfect for various occasions from casual to a bit more dressed up. The interior comfort layers and arch support are genuinely fantastic, making them incredibly comfortable even after hours on my feet. They fit true to size for me, a perfect size 8.

Nice everyday loafer
These loafers are really pretty and the raffia material is lovely for warmer weather. The mesh lining keeps them cool, which is a big plus. The Flex-Front Technology is noticeable and makes them easy to walk in, though they did feel a tiny bit tight across the top of my foot initially in my usual size 6.
