Eyecatching, Fit Good; Good Insoles; But Thin Upper & Many Durability Concerns
I just got these UZUJBAA men's faux leather loafers a few days ago and have tried them on and wore them some. I got them in a size 11 and they fit perfectly (for reference, I wear a standard American size 11 dress shoe). The upper is made of faux leather, not genuine leather, and it does feel very thin, so much that I have some concern that the upper could tear and is not of good durability or quality, and deducted one star for such. The alligator style and appearance of these are eye-catching and they look great, and the brown and dark brown colors have nice smooth tones that go well with professional and casual attire. The outer sole feels good and durable, but the upper is apparently only glued to the soles and I do not see any stitches attaching the upper to the sole, and this also gives me some durability and quality concerns. They have removable and washable insoles that have an average thickness, but they have a textured surface in the toe and forefoot area that I have found to be helpful for circulating blood in my feet, such that I think these are great insoles. Overall, they are of average comfort for dress shoes.Their current price is about $47 dollars, and I think such is a slightly high price for this average quality of faux leather, craftsmanship, style, and comfort, especially considering the significant durability concerns mentioned above. For all of these reasons, I rate these as 3 stars. I cannot make a recommendation for these in light of the things presented herein.

Great for the once-in-awhile user!
They look well and make your outfit look just that much more presentable and can go from casual to business casual no matter what it is you're wearing. Only thing I don't really like is the faux leather that they're made from. It feels more like rubber than anything else and they kind of act like that's exactly what they are made from. They're not easy to put on whatsoever. It makes me wish I had a shoe horn just laying around somewhere. However, that difficulty makes them fit better and the shoe tighter as you're wearing them. There is very little arch support so if that's something that you are looking for make sure you have your own insoles to use with them. Overall I give a 4 star quality of shoe because even though they are way better than the worst, even as far as a good quality shoe but they are still not the best. They are however a great value for the price. Worth it if you are only going to wear them every now and then because they will ride on for a very long time in storage being made of the faux leather that they are made from. Whatever that may be.

Not Fifty Dollar Shoes
Arrived quickly and in good condition.Although they're very nice looking, these shoes are very cheaply made and will not last you more than a few wears at most. The stitching is terrible along the insole, and I could not find where there was any stitching attaching the soles to the body whatsoever.If you have narrow feet, these will fit well. If you have a wider foot, then you'd better go up a size, but that kind of defeats the purpose. Not very comfortable after a couple of hours, you have to wear very thin socks just to get them on.The look and color is good, so if you need a pair of shoes for an occasion that you're heading for and need it quick, these may be for you. But if you look around here on Amazon, for fifty dollars there's a plethora of shoes for that price that are of far better quality than these. Not a good buy at all.

Look good and feel good
These shoes were very comfortable. Sometimes dress shoes aren't so comfy after a few hours. These shoes are softer than some and are slip resistant which is hard to find on a dress shoe. They fit well and are easy to slip on and off. Remember to check the size chart before ordering. The style is very much in fashion and ladies say that the upper, reptile leather printed look is very chic. (Whatever that means.) I like the height of the heel also.

Good looking dress shoes, questionable materials, so-so value.
I ordered these beautiful black chunky heel loafers for special occasions and business travel. When they arrived, I was impressed with the classic design and attractive, leather-printed aesthetic. However, the construction and materials were a bit underwhelming, feeling relatively thin and lacking conspicuous stitching. Because of this, I was concerned about their potential durability.Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to test their longevity. I ordered these based on my US shoe size—instead of measuring my foot with a tape measure as the seller recommended—and they are a full size too big.Overall, considering the materials and fit-and-finish, I think they are an OK value, however I would definitely recommend following their sizing guide closely.

Almost impossible to get on, but fairly okay when finally on.
I put on a thin pair of dress socks to try these "Size 11" dress shoes. I wear a size 11 and the drawstring bag they came in matches that. All I can find on the actual shoe is under the tongue and I don't know what it means. I had to use a large, thin cooking spoon and some muscle to get these shoes on. Mission accomplished! When on, I can wiggle my toes although they're a little narrow across the ball of the foot and outside of the toes. Your mileage may vary. The heel is the problem as the elastic both sides of the tongue will not stretch far enough to let me clear the heel. AFTER getting my perfectly normal feet in, the shoes are fairly comfortable. I could probably do a sky dive (if I ever left a perfectly good airplane) and not lose these shoes. I can feel them moving and (hopefully) stretching in all directions. I'm hoping they'll relax, so I'm wearing them all day now. My advice is to get at LEAST half a size larger than you wear normally. Oh, they look great and the sole is very flexible.

Nicely styled shoes
These shoes arrived decently packaged but the shoes emitted a really strong chemical smell. The style is nice - which drew me to ordering. Unfortunately the shoes are for folks with nice narrow feet so not for me. And for foot size, size 11 - it was more like a size 9. The material looks shiny but it's sythentic nature stands out. Sole was of a softer rubber, not a solid wood and leather so I think long-term day to day wear might be a concern.
