Rockport Men's Palmer Venetian Loafer - Comfortable Slip-On Dress Shoes for Business & Casual Wear | Breathable Leather Loafers for Office, Travel & Everyday Use

Comparison of four shoes: I tried on the indicated sizes of the four shoes listed below – I had them all at home and compared them extensively. All four shoes were pleasant surprises in that I liked all of them very much and the first three were very inexpensive. The main differences in these black loafer-style shoes are small differences in style and fit. The Geox and “Bike” slip-on had defined heels, giving a somewhat dressier appearance; the others had molded soles/heels. The SAS shoe had a leather band across the front (where a penny loafer would have the penny band). One thing that I can’t comment on is how they will fit after a couple of months of use, but I suspect they will remain good. I confess that I kept one of each shoe – I expect that one or two of them will turn out to fit particularly well but can’t predict which those will be.1. Rockport Men's Palmer Venetian Loafer 12W, 13MComments. Loved these shoes. There is a small amount of elastic at the joint between the top and side of the shoe. Leather and fit very nice. Runs a bit big: I usually am 13M but that was too big and 12W fit. Excellent value. Comes in M and W but not 12.5.2. Rockport Men's Style Leader 2 Bike Slip-On 12W 13MComments: Loved these shoes. Fit and leather similar to the Palmer Loafer except the shoe is higher. As with the Palmer, 13M was too big and 12W fit. These have a longer toe box3. Geox Men's New Damon 2 Plain Vamp Loafer 12.5, 13Comments: Loved these shoes. 12.5 and 13 were available but not W width. Mainly true to size – maybe slightly on the large size. The toe was flatter with more room than in the other three shoes. 12.5 was slightly too tight, so had to go with 13.4. SAS Men’s Ace slip on loafer13M, 13Narrow, 12.5W, 12.5M.Comments: I got these directly from the SAS company in New Orleans, but they also are on Amazon. SAS was fast and very helpful – I tried two sizes in one shipment and sent them back for two more sizes which were shipped immediately in exchange even before the first two were received back at the company. Because in the end I kept one size, all postage both ways (through the USPS) was free. I also love these shoes. They are a somewhat closer fit, but seem to fit very well. This particular style is somewhat more casual. There is more arch support and ventilation holes on the inner side.
