I'm used to wearing 8.5 UK (perfect fit) or 42 EU (with minimal room), what would you say fits me? From Nico Nerini's website, 42 EU = 9 US, but from AE's website, 42 EU = 8.5 US and 8 UK while 43 EU = 9 US and 8.5 UK. Would you say 9 US having the better fit? From where I come from, 8.5 UK = 9.5 US. Man this is pretty confusing...

Thanks for sharing your pics mate, I decided to go with the cognac. After seeing them you also had me wishing for the walnut Strands. Brooks Brothers had them for around $200 last week. You know I jumped on that! Sadly I got an email couple days after saying they went out of stock.

Pricing and product seems great! I nearly pulled the trigger, but tan is one of the most un-versatile colours around.
If this was offered in a dark brown, burgundy or even navy blue, I would already be on board.

Tan is the least versatile common shoe colour in classic men's style as it is strictly casual unfortunately.

seschimeresI hear your pain and trust me that we're trying to address it -- We are working with their other brand Luca Andreoli, and those start at US 7. Be on the lookout for more drops from them in the meantime.

The Tan model shows an elastic band. It is absent in the Cognac and Black pics. Can someone with a pair verify if it is there?
Idk whether to order the Tan or Cognac color. Please share pics if you all have any.

Appreciate you and @djaung sharing your pics! I just received my pair in Cognac. A little tight, but not uncomfortable for my 10.5E feet. Very happy they fit because they are gorgeous! Now I'm waiting for my Loake Buckingham and hoping they bring back the Carminas!

I'm as impressed with these as I am with my wingtips. This company is truly a gem, and the best bang-for-your buck shoe company out there (my previous was best value regardless of price was Carmina).
Quality of materials and craftsmanship easily exceeds Allen Edmonds - even on sale / clearance.
I'll buy any shoe from this company without hesitation.

This is based on the 15 pairs of AEs that I have and the 40+ pairs that I have had to return due to QC issues - poor pinking, poor/uneven burnishing, misaligned quarters, heels coming off with minimal wear, misaligned heels, crooked caps, cracked medallions, etc, etc, etc. But to your point - I would agree that raw quality of AE is still a bit higher, but Quality/Price of the NNs is much higher IMO.
For the last pair of Chilli McAllister's that I bought, I went through 5 pairs before finally getting one that was acceptable - these were "first quality" shoes
Needless to say, I don't buy AEs anymore.
I'll take a $125 pair of NNs over a $200 clearance + sale AE any day.

djaungI have more than a dozen AE shoes including some factory seconds that I could hardly tell the reason why they are seconds. I have not experienced such widespread QC issues. I have returned/exchanged for 3-4 times due to QC or fit issues, but nothing as bad as yours, not even close. I would not have bought that many AE shoes if the quality is so bad obviously.
BTW, I still have not had a chance to try these NN shoes, since my shoe size is 7.5D US. Maybe next drop.

EEL01Not this time around, but if there's enough interest we can approach the vendor for future drops and see what we can do.

EEL01I also vote for black. Tan shoes are the most misworn item in men's wear today.

I am interested in these, but a little worried about the leather quality. Could anybody please tell what kind of leather they use .

Amar1308I have these in tan, and overall I am impressed. The leather quality is pretty good, but it is not on the same level as Alden or Allen Edmonds. It appears to be a full grain leather. Lexol and regular polishing has kept the leather in good shape. The leather outsole is pretty good as well. It did seem to wear through a little faster than my Allen Edmonds. I'll be sending out for a resole in the next couple of weeks, and will be interested in getting my cobbler's take on them at that point.
For the price, totally worth it to me.

Mike1233so what ended up being your cobbler's take? Can you please share a few pics? Debating between getting the tan and cognac.

I've received my loafers yesterday. Ordered a US12 since I'm a 12D in various Allen Edmonds lasts and Ferregamos and 11E in Alfred Sargents. I have to say, a very very tight fit where the vamp gets "tucked in" slightly but a fit nonetheless, dreading the break-in. (If anyone is a half size up, willing to trade).
No QC issues in how the shoe is made. A steal at this price. The only thing I am very disappointed in is the patina/color. There seems to be a weak black coat over both shoes although darker on my right foot than my left. Doesn't give it a darker look...just makes them look dirty. There's also a random dark circular spot at where my pinky toe would be on the right foot.
My issues might be a one off as everything else was well constructed. If anyone is looking for a pair of decent beater shoes, I would buy this without much hesitation. With the sun out, I'm primarily planning to use this as a day drinking or casual day shoe and this fits the bill perfectly without damaging the wallet too much!

SyedAhmedAliHi there! Thanks for your review on these loafers -- I like the idea of a day drinking shoe btw ;)

onfeezyI'm not sure, but I expect it to be lower than my Strands, Flat Irons, and Fifth Avenues. I like the style, but not enough to splurge on the Grayson's. I'm pulling the trigger since I expect these will work with my earth tone dress slacks and khakis. I would love to see these in burgundy or a medium -> dark brown patina.
