So overall, I would definitely wear this to the office, or maybe to a summer wedding. The water-repellent suede is nice too, so you don’t have to worry about ruining them as you would with a standard suede loafer.

The Brand Overall

If I had to say just one thing about Wolf and Shepherd’s shoes, it’s this — if comfort is your top priority, it’s worth checking out.

If you really can’t find a comfortable dress shoe elsewhere, just about anything from Wolf and Shepherd will work (but that comes with a caveat that I’ll discuss in the next section).

Overall it’s a cool, modern brand. If it resonates with you and you have the budget, try it out.

What I Don’t Like

And just like the section above, I’ll break the “cons” down by the shoe here before giving my overall impression of what I’d like the brand to improve on.

The SwiftKnit Derby

Unfortunately, I don’t love the Derby. There are a couple of reasons why. 

First, I couldn’t find a perfect fit. A half-size or wide size would have helped a lot. And in my opinion, the white sole just doesn’t look great with all the available colors.

Some of them just don’t really live up to looking like dress shoes that you’d wear to an office.

And since you’ll be wearing them as a sneaker, they’re probably a little too expensive for what you get (compared to similar offerings from Nike or Adidas).

Monaco Loafer

Honestly, I don’t really have much negative to say about the Monaco — it really hit all of the points I expect out of a loafer. And it’s available in half sizes too (unlike the Derby), so you can really find the perfect fit for your foot.

My one gripe with this loafer is the width. It’s an extremely narrow shoe. According to the Brannock device, I don’t have a wide foot, but it’s still a squeeze to get into these loafers.
