A terrific pair of shoes, both sturdy and stylish. Rancourt gets it right, and their people are a pleasure to deal with.
This is my second Rancourt purchase and both pairs are of the highest quality. Beautiful leather and looks. I will be back for more!

This is my fourth pair of Rancourt shoes and probably my favorite of them all. So comfy and light.

I bought these during the last big production run and they absolutely did not disappoint.
They are very lightweight and comfortable. My Brannock size is 8.5E and these were absolutely true-to-size in my case; I've never had loafers fit so perfectly. with no heel slip at all. They fit so well that I actually don't wear any thicker socks with them because I don't want to risk stretching them out at all. Since they are chromexcel they are better-suited for warm weather anyways.
On that note, the natural chromexcel is STUNNING. It is such a beautiful color and the depth is mesmerizing. If I got another chromexcel, it would probably be natural again because it's just such a nice color.
The outsole is definitely a bit more colorful than I expected. It's that bright orangeish-reddish color and, while it isn't ugly, it does make outfit coordination a bit trickier with these shoes. I like everything else about the outsole though.
One thing that I really disliked: The dye on the insole rubs off very badly. They horribly stained the bottom of some of my nice socks. Not the end of the world, but it's definitely something to keep in mind.
I own several pairs - always great quality
