Is this shoe actually wide-fitting?

Yes. It is made in a wide fit, so there is more room across the forefoot than a standard-width dress shoe. Shoppers with narrow or average feet may find it loose.

What is the heel like?

It is a low heel with a sculpted shape and a metallic accent. It gives a little lift while keeping you close to the ground and stable.

The upper has a glossy black finish, and the insole and outsole are synthetic. That keeps it lightweight but less breathable than leather.

Can I wear it to work?

Yes. The loafer shape and black glossy finish suit office dress codes and business casual. The metallic bar makes it a bit dressier than a plain loafer.

How does it compare with a pump?

It has a low heel instead of a stiletto and a closed loafer front, so it is easier to walk in and more forgiving on wide feet. It gives up height and a sleek pointed profile.
