For a $600+ shoe this is...decent.
Shape is great, and I found the full strap wasn't as distracting as in other loafers. I think the LHS Cordovan are "better" because their fit is more amenable to thicker socks, and they're less likely to crease at the top. Secondhand, these are a good buy sub-$100 and a steal under $50 which I've seen happen.

One of those Alden guys. Sizing is a bit weird in these but I was afraid of going too large for heel slip. I probably could go up 1/2-1 size and be fine (I’m a 10 in New Balance). Quality is unmatched and the suede is gorgeous.

Aberdeen last is hard to size (runs narrow) but Alden makes the best tassel loafer

bought size 10.5, it fits Tight
The original tassel loafer and still the best on the market. Runs a touch narrow.

Best brown suede loafers out there. I went TTS but they do stretch a bit.

Alden full strap calf loafers - "full strap" and "calf" tend to get hate from menswear enthusiasts but given the price of leisure handsewn these are a great alternative.
Try on in store if at all possible.

bought size 10.5, it fits True
One of the greatest loafers of all time. Super versatile and insanely comfortable. Price is steep but a great item to splurge on. Make sure to get the handsewn version and not the machine stitched pair.

Alden makes the original tassel loafer and continues to make the best out there.
