I usually wear 11.5's, but I buy 1/2 size smaller to accommodate for stretch. Leather relaxes.
5 STARS: These shoes are awesome. I keep coming back for more. I have major foot problems, have tried all kinds of shoes, orthotics, and inserts... but believe it or not, these shoes work better than any of that stuff. I wear them daily. I buy lots of them, for home, for church, and I'm getting my first pair of J&M boots today, for winters in Indiana... Brrrr

Classic, timeless, well built, all around loafer as home in 1950 as 2050.
Reasonably tough (I am hard on loafers), classic, clean, great looking loafer. Timeless. Future proof. Street, country club, jeans, office, khakis & blazer...these go with everything......can't go wrong!! My perfect loafer would be these in a slightly heavier leather, but those would weigh more, look bigger etc. so this is a great middle-ground. Thanks J&M!!

Penny loafers - best new old style
These fit great. Real old school style reborn as original. Comfortable leather and looks great with jeans or dress pants.

Quality shoe but with a slight squeak.
Nice shoes with the classic Penny Loafer design. Fit was better than another brand I tried. Only reason not 5 starts is disappointment due to a slight squeak at times when walking.

Exact item ordered, quick delivery
I ordered these black Cole Haan penny loafers for casual wear with jeans, khakies, and even business casual with slacks and a jacket. They've always worked perfectly for these uses. The Cole Haan version is the most versatile and still meets my sophisticated look criteria. I wear a 9 1/2 M with almost all other shoes. I have found Cole Haan to run slightly wider and slightly shorter. This fit will work with thin and no socks and a little loose in width. . I'd likely order a 10 N next time. I tend to forget this but it runs consistent with me for Cole Haan. 5 stars for the shoe and service. My bad on the slightly off fit.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect.Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

Great shoe, imperfect feet
The product is well constructed but the fitting was imperfect. The left shoe size would have to be smaller to prevent slipping of the heel.😄 This is not a new problem for me .
