This shoe seems to be longer than other brands we have purchased. The eee is great but it seems that this shoe is quite a bit longer than others in the same size. I am sure we will love it once we find the correct size.

Since the Bass shoes I usually buy are not easily found locally (Salisbury, NC) I usually have to travel to find a seller that not only has a decent selection, but my size (13D). Just got my first pair online and this is the review. Not every Bass shoe line has a 13D, but this one does. This Bass "Larson" is one of several relatively inexpensive Bass "Weejun" style loafers that typically fit comfortably and wear extremely well. The open footwell easily accommodates a larger foot without being so open that the shoe falls off the foot. The Burgundy (cordovan) color is very versatile and the high quality leather buffs easily to a lasting shine with little effort. I just had another pair of these resoled after a year because they are my favorite work shoes and the uppers still look great. Many less expensive shoes have rubber bottoms which are arguably quieter walking down an office hallway, but I've found that they wear out faster than the leather soles on the Weejuns. I've tried others but I keep coming back for the comfort, wear and reliability of the Bass Weejun brand.

The only con I know of is that prices appear to have gone up in the last several years. I used to get mine for about $65/pair at an outlet in the mountains, but I don't travel that way anymore.

Wore these for 3 weeks and had holes in both soles. Had to have them resoled. You get what you pay for. $100 for these cheap shoes and another $60 to have a proper sole put on. It made me think the sole was made of cardboard.

Great fit. I had bought a pair of loafers last year that did not fit well. These were great, comfortable, and seem to be wearing quite well.

I was not familar with this company when I ordered the shoes. Their price was lower than the usual place where I order shoes and, as a result, the third pair was almost free. Delivery was prompt. No problems...no hassle. Just shoes.

I have been married almost 17 years and this is the only work shoe my husband has ever worn. Guess he doesn't like change!? So, I will be very suspicious if he ever has me order a different "model" :)
