Men's Ansted Driving Style Loafer

Let's start with the good.Craftmanship is superb.Design is superbThe interior surface is smoothed and carefully crafted to ensure that nothing will hurt or cause problems.Now the badThey don't give alittle more room as you would expect literally any loafer to do from the start. You could wear this for a year and with the exception of the middle stitching giving way, there is no breaking this in.The fault lies in the center stitching itself. When locking the middle of a loafer with a metallic plate, the stitching should be such to maximize the width to share the strain for both the stitching and the metal plate. It doesn't. This is sadly a very old design flaw that has been addressed in newer designs but not in this brand. Instead they go with the old school tightening in using the stitching and rely on you to break that in and stretch it over time until you reach the stretch ti the plate. Given that this design doesn't allow any stretch this doesn't occur so you are left with a show that is 1/8 yo 1/4 inch to tight from both sides smack in the middle of your foot.Getting a larger size doesn't solve the solution for this design either since going up a half size leaves the width the same and just increases its overall length.Lacosta doesn't manufacture wide size options. Given their quality and craftsmanship, if they would offer a single W option they would dominate the market for driving loafers.What a shame. What shoe.Shoes are a pain to manufacturer. I get that. Which is why you do it right or don't do it at all. Simply relying on a slice of the pie from those with perfectly sized feet makes for a poor business strategy. One of the most returned items possibly in existence. So why not get it right? Why not offer a wide size option and take the added risk and cost. 3rd, 4th and 5th party purchase retailers are always in need of returned product and while you initially take a hit, overtime returns would be less often and they would only dominate the market. Truly unique in style compared to other companies Lacosta seems to be on the right track but we can see there room for improvement.Let's talk cost.I get paying for a name a premium price and with this quality and craftmandhip its totally worth it. But a shoe has to fit. Coblers need new tools and approaches at Lacosta to improve upon there designs. Meanwhile a 30 dollar driving loafer from China not only fit perfectly, and I mean to perfection but it was premium grade coblering, excellent string materials, precision made and fit like a glove. Even with my slightly wider feet they have the technics knowledge to make a show that provides the right give in the right place to fit perfectly and they didn't offer a wide size option either.Hope this helps my wide feet humans out there. Amazing design and you have great taste to choose this loafer but beware. If you're know to have wide feet, even slightly like mine, this superman string loafer won't give a cm...

after a month they start to squek

Very Stylish. Great Colors. Good Quality.

Receive a lot of compliments

I am a shoe hound. I especially like leather drivers. Italian leather shoes are my favorite. This is a good looking, versatile and well made shoe. They are a bit narrow. Still I’m very pleased with my purchase. The French know their way around a shoe as well.

Very much enjoy the comfort of the shoe as well as the design and look. Not worn every day due to the nature of the soul. But do wear it frequently. Would recommend it if you want a unique easy style driver.

It’s nice! Looks so good. Size is very accurate (US10) Very good quality.

Nice shoes, but they run tight causing some discomfort and fatigue when wearing all day

Están bastante bonitos de inicio, la verdad este tipo de mocasines me gusta mucho pero la suela rechina muchísimo en todos lados! Además que se empieza a desgastar muy rápido la piel de estos zapatos, lamentablente no creo que me duren más de 6 meses, son cómodos pero se van haciendo feos en cuanto a su forma con el paso del tiempo.

The shoe hurts the back of my feet.My size is 8. I ordered 8.5. The size was okay, but it was hurting my thumb and the back of my feet.Going to return it.

Attention, il sont un leuplus petit que les Lacoste Régulier. Prenez 1/2 point plus grand. Sinon ils sont absolument magnifique!

Son de piel , el color blanco es muy para verano y el mar, lucen increíbles , muy cómodos , lo recomiendo

Los mocasines estan increíbles, mucho mejor en persona que en foto... si piensas adquirirlos o regalarlos no te arrepentirás, el acabado es impecable, gran estilo. Mi sugerencia sería que los pidas media talla mas chica de lo que normalmente lo pedirías, ya que vienen ligeramente amplios.
