I ordered the Skechers model Pollard-Osgood size 9 wide from Skechers online because the shoe looks like fairly traditional leather loafer with a strong rubber sole. From the photo below I think I had every reason to believe the shoe would wear like a loafer and have sturdy but cushioned heel. Unfortunately for me the heel of the shoe has no support at all and I feel like I am wearing flat soled slippers. I walk about ten blocks to my office every day. I wore the for the first time today. It was so bad that I went home at lunch time and changed into one of my pairs of ecco casuals. I am so disappointed because I fell for all of Skechers's marketing. I should have read reviews. I will say this, the shoe appears to be well made with good materials. It is just poorly designed as a casual shoe for men. Also delivery to me in Manhattan took much longer than I expected since they said the shoes were in stock.
