Looking for brands to purchase Suede Loafers in Brown for EEE width. I am looking for a good fit, but also have a EEE width and high instep. I have a pair of Allen Edmonds Sea Island Blue Suede in EEE, but not really happy with quality. I also have pairs of Paul Stuart and Alden Tassel and regular but looking for a summer suede loafer, prefer brown snuff suede color and no metal shank. I like Alden Snuff Suede 6243F, but is there a metal shank? Looked at Rancourt, did not see in suede and Oak Street, but not sure of width? Looked at C&J Richmond 2, do not see wide, also G&G Chadwick, but question proper width. Belgian not really my style. Any suggestions from Italy or Spain, really do not want to get bespoke for Summer. I have tried on Carmina in NY store, , not loafers, but dit not fit well, had limited lasts in store. They suggested MTO. Just looking for a pair that is comfortable and fits well without socks! Have looked at Velasca, Scarosso, Thank you in advance for suggestions!

The Alden snuff suede tassel does have a steel shank -- all Aldens have the steel shank, so far as I know. I have a pair of the Alden snuff suede tassels and I really like them -- they're perfect for summer. The same style in brown is pretty readily available, Alden of San Francisco seems to carry the brown tassel loafers in pretty much every size.
