When I received the Loafers I honestly thought I was not going to like them based on how they were packaged. I am used to shoes being packaged in boxes not bags, and the loafers were a little squished when I opened the bag. But to my surprise the loafers are very comfortable according to my daughter. They have not given her blisters like other new shoes had, and the soles are not slippery when they get wet. Some people might not like the skulls that are on the sole of the shoes, but my kids are into pirates and love them. I also like that these loafers can be passed down from my daughter to my son.<br /><br />I received this item at a free or discounted price for my unbiased and personal review/opinion.
