Love the Kinsley loafers (go 1/2 size smaller in W size)
Absolutely love love love these loafers. I had surgery on my right foot for a ruptured Lisfranc ligament and I also have plantar fasciitis. I had to play around with getting the right size. I’m normally an 8, but the 8W was too big. I ordered the 7.5 W and it was perfect with some thin no-show, loafer socks or bare feet. The 7.5 W gave me enough room to get my post surgery foot into and for my non-surgery foot to feel perfectly comfortable. I ordered these in the solid navy and the black crinkle. I would order more if there were more sizes left, that is how much I love them. I have gotten compliments on this snake skin color and on the black crinkle. I love them for work suits and they’re also really cute for smart casual or with a pair of Jean capris or skinny jeans. This model of the shoe started my love for the brand. Not every model works for me, for example, the skimmers and the uptown loafers are too narrow and long, even in a W. When it comes to sneakers, they’re walking and casual sneakers. I can order true to size in a 8W. They’re running sneakers, however, were too narrow and too long. Hope this helps. Did I mention I love these shoes!

WOWZERS! Vionic on Amaon!
I love this brand and adore.this style. FIRST - the price was an unbelievable $49 vs $130 everywhere else. This shoe is beautiful AND comfortable right out of the box. This makes pair #3 in my closet - cream, brown and now this fashion-forward black crinkle leather. They arch support and xome in wide width they're recommendesfor those of us with foot prolems who work on their feet all day. Wear them with slacks, capris, skinny jeans, dresses, skirts AND they look fab with a baggy pair of boyfriends - the jeans, I mean. I know be checking often for the great Vionic deals on Amazon.

Pretty, but…
Most Vionic shoes are well made, but the loafers often creak-this is my second pair. Looks are great and they’re comfortable, but they make noise when you walk.

Order 1/2 size down, stiff leather, wide not wide enough.
I read a few reviews saying that the shoe is too long. I have at least 4 closed toe vionic shoes, and 6.5 wide has been just the perfect fit, which is my true size. I ordered 6.5wide in these kensley loafers, and they were too long. I can fit at least a finger and a half width at the back with heels coming up with every step. I like the look of the shoe and of course the arch support, so I returned for size 6Wide despite leather feeling stiff. It fit better, but the leather was still very stiff. I love my Vionic Magnolia Gianna which has soft leather and rubber soles. So I was disappointed with my heels turning pink due to rubbing with the stiff leather from just walking less than minute on carpet and linoleum floors with the kensley shoes. I still wanted to like the shoes so I bought heel stickers to prevent rubbing on my heels. These are supposed to be wide, but they feel narrow. I've been stretching them with my shoe stretcher, but are still squishing my toes. I'm hoping overtime the leather stretches more like the Magnolias. My Adrie boots were also 6.5 wide and my toes have just enough room. I don't know why they made these so tight and stiff and long.Update 12/31/23: I've been wearing these about 1x a week or less for about 1.5 mos. only for church (was sitting mostly). Today, I wore it to the mall for over 4 hrs shopping for similar shoes. I found similar ones that were sooo much more comfortable.so I regret keeping these. When I got home, my heel was so pink (even with heel cushions added) with a big blister that had popped (picture also shows the sole was 3.75 in wide at widest part just like my Magnolia, but 3.5 in wide from the top view measuring the leather top. Maybe they thought this will stretch out well without causing pain). Waste of $120.

Perfect for High Arches and Everyday Comfort
Vionic has quickly become one of my go-to brands, and the Kensley Loafers are a staple in my wardrobe. As someone with high arches, finding comfortable shoes can be a challenge, but these loafers are a dream.Comfort and Support:The arch support in these loafers is fantastic, making them ideal for people with high arches. I have these shoes in nearly every color because they are so comfortable. In fact, they are so supportive that I've even used them as workout shoes to walk on a track during lunch breaks. How many dress shoes can function like that?Sizing:The only minor drawback is the sizing. I usually wear a 7.5 in heels and an 8 in flats. In the Kensley loafers, the size 8 is almost too big, while the 7.5 is slightly snug. It's something to keep in mind when ordering, but the comfort and support they provide make it worth the slight inconvenience.
