Plain toe loafer VELV003 Essex green velvet leather with rubber grip sample on my size look amazing. I usually buy size 45 because many brands don't do 44.5, but over time the shoes stretch out, and I do better with 44.5. However, trying these on was hard, impossible without having long socks, and very snug on foot. I would probably advise not doing half number on this and model and using the High instep tool when ordering for a client. - Yoan, NYC Showroom Director
