I'm returning a pair of loafers I bought but am disappointed with and was going to exchange them. The only problem is I can't pick which color to buy. I'll probably ask the women that work there but I don't want to seem indecisive.

I'm leaning towards the navy pair

And I'm planning on buying these too

Why Cole Haan? Wouldn't sebago or sperry be better/cheaper?

I like the navy one, but expect to have smurf feet for a while.

The contrasting back patch ruins the navy shoe for me. I'd either go with a different brands navy (sperry $40) or get the cole haan browns if you need to buy them from that company.

Agreed about back patch on blues, but with a ton of leather oil you could make it dark.

For what it's worth, the sillhouette of sperry originals is better (imo), they cost $40, and after like 4-5 wears they should be completely broken in and very comfortable.

Where are y'all finding sperrys for $40? According to their website most retail for 80+

I guess I could return them for cash instead of an exchange. But where can you find Sperry's for $40? As for other colors, the ones I posted up happen to be my favorite by far.

I just happen to have a lot of shirts that would work well with navy shoes.
