I just ordered these, in a 36, size may not be right, as I never know with Euro sizing. We shall see!
Your floral oxfords reminded me of some SW metallic grey lace up heeled loafers I had... well, I think it was 9 years ago when I first joined? I wore those into the ground. You may or may not remember them, that was eons ago! So maybe these will work for me too, in a similar wardrobe sort of way. Cross fingers.
I decided to bite the bullet after receiving these loafers today, which were going to be my wild card this year, shoe wise/ fun pattern wise (as to be honest I'm not so sure about florals!)

I've been having good luck with BR shoes lately. I have this loafer in a patent leather version already, which says it's black but is really a super inky blue. So I was going to duplicate in this patterned version.
However, these arrived today and while the right foot is totally comfy, something is rubbing oddly and annoyingly on the left foot, in a spot I don't think is fixable or will improve with wear. But I'd recommend these to anyone else -- it's just my feet that are the problem. The problem foot rolls inward because that leg is longer, so something is rubbing at just the wrong spot in the inside heel. These BR loafers are super cute though!
