The Loafer

My wife and I travel… Like, a lot! We probably take 10-12 flights a year, in and out of the country!

In recent years, I have elevated my style quite a bit; as any man turning 30 should do. No longer am I trying to pull chicks in the club with a backwards hat and skinny jeans. Now, we are successful, professional, and out style is elevated. Blazers, businessiness casual, ETC.

POINT OF THE STORY: I have been hunting for a good pair of dress shoes that can handle a lot of walking. And I mean A LOT OF WALKING. Like “Day at Disney” walking. I stumbled across this brand a few months ago, and my wife bought me a pair of these so solve our conundrum: When we travel, Why do we dress so nice and kill our swag with TENNIS SHOES! THERE HAS TO BE A SHOE OUT THERE THAT LOOKS GOOD IN A SUIT, BUT ALSO IS COMFORTABLE.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, look no further. We purchased a few months ago, and I decided to take a chance and make these my ONLY shoes for our recent trip to Spain…

Let me explain how my wife and I travel, in a nutshell: in 10 days in Spain, we walked 103 miles.. YES, you heard that correctly. That is over 10 miles a day. And this is how we travel EVERY TIME.

Guys, I’m here to tell you. I had nothing but these shoes, and they passed the test. 1) They passed the style test. In Spain/London, I didn’t have to make my trench coat look silly by wearing Tennis Shoes. I didn’t have to downgrade my blazer by bastardizing it with Nikes. And 2) They passed the comfort test. After endless miles of walking through cities, streets, alleys, mountains, and forests, my feet felt great.

Now, at one point on the 7th day I had a little pain in the balls of my right foot. But in my “old age”, I have come to learn that I have “Plantar Facism” or something like that. So that day, I just gave myself a massage and a few Advils. But after that, the pain went away and we chugged along for the rest of the trip.

Moral of the story: I am sure some of you guys are looking for a comfy dress shoe. I am sure some of you turned 30 recently and have elevated your style. I am also sure that some of you “elevated” people throw up a little bit when you have to wear tennis shoes with a blazer. “Why can’t I look AMAZING at Disney world, like a successful dad”.

Well, if that is you, then I can voice for this pair of shoes in size12.

ONE NEGATIVE: They run large. I bought a twelve, and it was flopping a little bit on my feel. I should have gotten a 11.5, as these shoes run large. However, I can’t return them after 100+ miles.

I have had these two days and I love them already! So much so that I bought two more pair after day 1 wearing the shoes! So comfortable!, I think I need to clean out some shoes that will never be worn again!

I have been looking for a shoe(s) that can be dressed up and dressed down in a variety of colors and materials that look and feel great. Amberjack checks all the boxes and then some.

I had a sizing issue and had to return/exchange then and Amberjack's Customer Support was on the job as it was an easy process.

Thanks and I will be a repeat customer!

Only thing is where the stitching is in the inside of the shoe was a little rough. Took them to a shoe repair place to have it stretched a little.

Beautiful and comfortable. Exceptional at this price point. Well done and thanks.
