Couldn't be happier with my Randolphs. I love that the toe has some architecture to it, similar to an oxford, whereas in most moc-toe styles the top of the toe box is framed by that pinched stitching at the very front. The Randolph has a beautifully rounded toe box that really suggests the shape of the last on which it was built, and the stitching is more of a stylistic detail that recalls the silhouette of a penny loafer. This is why they are perfect to wear with absolutely anything-- as a penny loafer, they are understated and humble; as a Randolph, they are a touch more disciplined, graceful, and tidy. I really feel comfortable wearing these with a suit or with a sweater and chinos. I'd place them up against any loafer of this style, including the Alden 683s, which are lovely, but a little more pointy and elongated (which is hard to see from the photos online). I wanted something rounder and went with these. I am totally thrilled with them.
Something I did not expect was how little it would take to break them in. The lining is made from quality leather that is supple and responsive. It did not chafe my heels at all. They also feel extraordinarily sturdy. At my job I'm on my feet most of the day, and these really fit the bill.
One more thing! You can't get a sense of this from the reviews, but they make a really nice sound when you walk. It's hard to beat the soft thump of a good leather sole on the floor. It will remind you all day of the excellent decision you made buying these loafers.
If you do have a retail location near you, it's a good idea to go get fitted. Different styles fit the same foot differently, and shoes like this have the natural variation you can (and should) expect from a product made by human hands.
Please buy these loafers.
