Leather Penny Loafers with Insolia Flex®

I bought these flats because they looked good & can be worn with both trousers & skirts. Normally I take a size 4 to 4.5 in M&S shoes & assumed these would be the same, particularly as they are a wide fit. Fortunately I was in store and could try the different sizes, & even found the 4.5 to be too tight. I opted for the far more comfortable size 5. They are made from good quality firm leather which I imagine will give with wear - just hope they don't turn into 'boats'. My advice - go for a larger size.

I cannot understand the previous reviews. I have the tan pair, which I purchased shortly after they were launched and I find them comfortable to walk about town. I need a wide fit and cannot wear many other brands and usually have to resort to expensive Italian shoes. The leather is high quality and as I always replace the paper after wearing they have not creased any more than other shoes would. Admittedly I do not wear them everyday all day.

I am very disappointed with these shoes, they look lovely and do initially seem to be very good quality but they have absolutely ruined my feet on both occassions I have worn them. The backs are very hard and as such the blisters they have given me are awful. After wearing them twice the front fur section is already very creased and looking awful on one shoe. I will be returning these to store at my earliest opportunity.

Needed a pair of stylish flats for work, and with the Insolia I thought these would be good as I am on my feet all day. Loved the look, good with trousers and skirts however, halfway into my shift, my feet were in agony. The shoes have damaged my feet so much that a trip to the docs and inflamed tendons were the outcome, not to mention blisters. Only get these if you have a sitting down job! Very disapointed, even considering returning the similar pair I purchased.
