Nowadays it's hard to find nice Footwear, everything is made in China or Vietnam and is frankly junk. I purchased my first pair of Bruno Magli oxfords approximately 14 years ago and have in in love with the brand since. There are of course completely handmade leather soled shoes that are considered a finer quality however I've been perfectly happy with the more durable rubber soles on their shoes. Shortly after I started buying this brand I also started purchasing loafers and slip-ons like these and they are fantastic. The moment you take these loafers out of the box you'll know what I'm talking about. They have calfskin leather which is incredibly soft and requires no break-in period. As soon as you put the shoes on they will feel like an old comfortable pair of slippers. I really can't say enough about how great these particular loafers are, not only are they made of excellent material but they have a Timeless look giving them the ability to be worn with a suit to jeans.
