Got these off eBay and not sure what I bought. I though I was getting the Redway but the code doesn't seem to match any of the pictures of the Redway that I have seen. Either way, they fit me perfectly and I'm very happy with the purchase. Anybody know what I have?

Code inside shoe: ALM59762
Other code (not pictured): 1090342/31274

Looks just like the Redway to me. Perhaps a prior version, ala Darlton/Marlow? Either way, nice grab!

^Thanks! Not exactly a bargain but I really wanted a tassel loafer and was about to pull the trigger on the Alden 666. These were cheaper than the Alden and the RL (C&J, I'm guessing) fit/last is perfect.

You got em! Damn you for having the perfect fit... I have the 10's and they are a hair too big. If you find them tight, please PM me, Id trade you.

^ Damn, were you watching these? Yeah, I was surprised to be the only bidder. I kept thinking other SFers were up going to outbid me!
The fit has the right amount of snuggness that feels right only for a loafer. Loafers are hard to fit. I made the mistake of buying some other suede loafers (labeled Canali but no idea who the maker is) that felt right out of the box but within a couple of wears, the heel slippage got worse and worse. With a few wears, my guess is these will feel even better.
