I have 3 pair and I really like them for what they are — a lightweight pair of travel slippers than can ‘get by’ in a lot of situations while on the road. In short, they’re glorified house slippers with a very thin leather sole and a tiny heel for a splash of formality. They definitely won’t hold up to many miles on cement/asphalt/gravel like a regular loafer...but that’s the trade off for reduced weight and bulk. If you’re looking for a value, this is not it.

I'm going on a trip shortly and thinking if they will be a good travel loafer - so soft and light compared to GYW. While how they hold up to concerns me tho. I trust they are well constructed even cemented?

They’re resilient enough to withstand normal wear. I just wouldn’t subject them to a staple diet of asphalt/concrete/gravel.

I checked on the Mr. Porter sale last night and it looks like EG is not included in the sale, at least for the time being.

I was able to purchase a pair of suede Newmarkets at 40% off toward the end of January, but I'm pretty sure the pair I purchased was a return because it was the only one available.

Does anyone know what's going on?
