SebagoClassic Leather Loafer

Sebago penny loafers are very very long-lasting, rugged like well made leather boots, and beautiful as well (I have heel and toe taps put on them, polish them to a high shine myself and put new pennies in). This pairs fits my foot precisely.

Best shoes

These shoes run too narrow! Although 1/2 inch larger than my size and E width, still too tight, especially the dorsal/arch area of the foot. Otherwise, great quality and good looking shoe.

I bought a pair of these penny loafers 30 years ago when they were still being made here in Maine. They still had wear in them minus the ability to "shine up" well but even still were good looking and my "go to" shoe with a jacket and blue jeans. This pair fit like bed room slippers after break in. I finally bit the bullet and bought a new pair knowing this pair was living on well borrowed time. This new pair is constructed the exact same way, in every detail, minus two nail heads visible in the soles. No big deal. My old pair was a 10.5 D and I ordered a 10.5 D. Understand that these shoes are true to size if you really understand what your shoe size is. If you have never owned a pair of these classic Sebago penny loafers you will be unhappy with the fit. Board the "pain train" and do the work to break them in and have the best shoes in your wardrobe that you have ever owned. Put on a pair slightly larger SOAKING WET socks than you plan to wear in reality. Use a shoe horn, put them on, and wear them a little bit everyday until they take shape to your feet. Trust me folks ... these shoes will fit like they are suppose to and fit like a glove after going this and also wear like iron, or so I hope, for another 30 years...but don't think they will feel any where correct straight out of the box, this is an unreasonable expectation from this QUALITY penny loafer! Leather stretches .... do the work and end up loving a pair of shoes that you will not want to take off. After a week of break in, I'm wearing my new loafers with thin dress socks and oft times sock-less and my feet are HAPPY!UPDATE: After having these shoes for a year, they are a complete disappointment. These Sebago's are now manufactured outside of the USA and are, sadly, cheaply built using inferior material and cost cutting methods. The leather soles have holes worn through to the inner liner and the sole actually split around the stitch seam around the toe area. The top leather finish "flakes" off at the flex points of the shoe which reveals leather beneath which can not be polished back to life and blend back in to the surrounding leather. It is a horrid look, light colored spider cracks and lines across the top of the shoe and sides. Taking these shoes to a cobbler for failure analysis, I learned that the color was "painted on" ( a process used now to cut cost) and not dyed through and then polished to a fine and lasting finish as they were back in past. Trust me..you won't live in these shoes for long at all. Go high end with a USA manufacture for your loafers and get 30 years out of them as these are not it! Sorry folks, for steering you wrong with my original review...

The brand name Sebago dose not maintain the quality of its products and behave as if have no competitor even though the market is full of excellent quality products at the same price range and more sizes are available

my favorite

the website adverted a W fitting - it was delivered as the standard narrower fitting - I can't wear itI have been buying Sebago W (wide) fitting shoes for years from Amazon suppliers - I do so because they're difficult to find otherwisebut why advert to a wide fitting on Amazon's website and then not supply it?Clownsand that applies to three pairs that I ordered in anticipation of my visit to the USA and upon which I've spent upwards of $ 500 - for sweet FAand of course having expected to be the proud recipient of three pairs of wide fitting shoes (this order was one of those pairs) upon my arrival in Texas, I find that none are suitableCNUTSand worse, I have no recourse since due to Covid, I was unable to travel within the time window allowed for returnsinterestingly Amazon obliges me to give a star rating as a condition of submitting this reviewthe minimum is one star which implies in my mind at least some degree of valuewhat use is a pair of shoes that are unwearable FFS ?

I have been wearing Sabago loafers for 30 years. First, Sabago loafers are a hard leather shoe. They are tight fitting (narrow) when new; they are supposed to be. Sabago loafers need to be "broken in". I marked them as "Fits as expected" because I expect them to initially fit tight. A shoehorn is usually necessary to get them on when they are brand new. This is temporary. The leather will stretch over time. Socks are very important. You want to limit the variation in thickness of your socks. If you wear thick socks for awhile the leather will stretch and when you go back to thin socks your loafers will be too big and your feet will slide around. Pick one sock thickness and stick with it. These shoes also have a leather sole. If you wear them daily like I do be prepared to have them resoled periodically. I usually need to have them resoled at least yearly.As far as color, the antique brown and cordo are very similar. I have both and when you put them side by side you can see a difference but it is subtle. If you are trying to decide which color to get they are so similar that it really makes little difference.

I have owned the classic docksiders from Sebago and they were incredibly comfortable so I reckoned Sebago knew a thing or too about making shoes. The first thing to note is that they are unlined which means that, due to being a very close fit, they are very hard to slip into. Secondly, the stitched area where the penny strap is connected to the side of the shoe is extremely uncomfortable and sticks into the side of my foot. Finally, over time, a ridge has developed inside the shoe, where the heel merges with the main insole area. Whilst on the plus side, these are smart, well built shoes, I don’t look forward to wearing them with any enthusiasm because they are just not comfortable.

these are expensive shoes and I am not sure on inspection are worth it for a start.. also the shoes are identified on the site as being size 43 equivalent to UK size 9 whereas when they turn up theyare marked on the box as equivalent ot 8.5 and of course too small. So back they go. It is always disappointing to return them and even more frustrating when I tried to exchange them for a larger size as the system would only let me return and get a refund. I then was told to take them to a collection point which happended to be my local newsagent so no problem there but then i got notice that someone was coming to collect hem from our house -- when the shoes had already been delivered and a receipt obtained. Get your act together Amazon!

The size of these shoes is as expected and they are comfortably wide. It made of glossy leather which gives more formal look while the style is casual.I had to return the pair I ordered as leather wasn’t as soft as expected. If someone has a problematic feet and need soft comfortable fit, may be look for something else. Otherwise shoes feel strong and are made well.

Not only was the shoes very small compared to others, but it soon split along the side due to the pressure. I have had them for some time but rarely worn. Would be glad to return them for a replacement if this is possible. I have had many Sebago shoes in the past, and these were a let down on this occasion

THESE SHOES , WHICH I USED TO WEAR MANY MANY YEARS AGO, WERE OF1st CLASS WORKMANSHIP. I HAVE FINALLY TRACKED THEM DOWN AFTER A DAY BROWSING THE WEB, MUCH TO MY DELIGHT. THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THEY ARE A QUALITY ITEM AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO 1 AND ALL ...........REGARDS :-)
