On closer inspection, these are loafers.

A few weeks ago, the frantic search for brown loafers began.
Somehow, the need had subliminally been planted into my head.
Alike most situations of footwear desperation, one can never find exactly what they want at the given time. Too small, wrong colour, too much akin to a boat shoe, too expensive.
But I think I have finally uncovered the (reasonably priced) treasure. Said treasure is to be delivered to me via air mail in around 2 weeks.
