Sophisticated leather loafers
These are beautiful shoes and look absolutely amazing. The first thing I noticed about these Bruno Magli leather loafers when pulling them out of the box is the high quality of the stitching and the general structure; they are clearly well-made and of high-quality leather. Each one is flawless and symmetrical when compared. I found the length to be exactly as expected for the size 39 that I ordered (typically wear a US size 11-12), though it is worth noting that they are a pretty typical narrow design if you have wider feet.While they look great, they do require a bit of a break-in period. The heel slips a little and was a bit uncomfortable for me until I wore them in for a while. However, the padding on the inside is very comfortable to walk on right from the beginning.It comes with a nice dust bag for storage when not in use, which is appreciated. If you are looking for a sharp-looking, high-quality loafer, these are a solid pick.

Luxurious looking, fits well, but very long toebox and minor quality nits
Bruno Magli is a brand I usually see at the high end department store, not online megawarehouse. I will say I am impressed with the overall build and look and feel of these shoes. They are slip ons that I ordered at my exact size (11W) and they came true to size with plenty of space for my feet. With inserts they may come a bit out of the shoes as there's already a lot of exposure for the upper part of the foot in the design.For the price, they are good, but not incredible. There is some minor scuffing. The box they came in was a little beaten up by the warehouse experience. The toebox is comfortable very long in my size. It also felt like clown shoes a little because of how far deep the shoe is, despite being accurate in size along the rest of my foot.

Tasteful and refined, an elegant loafer
These have snazz, but they need to be dressed accordingly. Pants, they must be worn with pleated pants. They have an exaggerated length, and it looks unbalanced without the pants cuff above. I got the 11.5 Wide, and the heel is a little loose on me. I need the extra width at the toes, but my heel is normal width. I’m learning that there’s some variation with how footwear companies interpret a fit. These feel good at the toes, and the heel I want more snug. I still have to wiggle or shoehorn these on to my feet, maybe they need to break in.The materials and craftsmanship are top quality. The leather is flawless, it’s leather inside and out. The heel has a flesh-out panel for better grip, and the vamp is soft leather. The sole appears to have a narrow shank, it certainly has the stiffness. They come with a maroon dust sock in a maroon box, it’s a distinguished package. Fine attention to detail, quality control. Each shoe is a mirror image, there’s no asymmetry. I suspect these follow more of a boot sizing, running true to size, no need to compensate. The penny slot on the tongue is lightly glued to the leather beneath, so while a coin could be added, it doesn’t appear intended to be functional. The style looks a little silly from my perspective, especially with the pants legs pulled up, but they cut a sharp profile and look really good with the right outfit. These are shoes that set the tone of the whole outfit, it’s a true heritage-style Italian loafer. The price is about what I’d expect to pay for fine leather dress shoes of this quality, it’s made without cutting corners, and they emanate the energy of uncompromising quality. People take me more seriously when I’m in these, it’s like a subconscious reaction. I like that.

These Are Some Comfortable Shoes
To test out how comfortable these shoes were, I wore them to work for 4 days where I was constantly on my feet and walking around.Let me start by saying that these are nice looking, well crafted soft leather shoes.As far as sizing and how they fit, the width was just right, but they're slightly longer than normal. I had to wear two pairs of socks for the right fit. Based on what I experienced, I could've gotten a half size smaller.The shoes did not require any breaking in period, and were very comfortable to walk around in. I liked that the heels of the insoles had extra padding, and also that the outsoles provided great traction on tile, wood, and concrete.Overall, I really like the look, color, and how these shoes feel on my feet. I would recommend them.
