If you are one of those people who wear leather loafers, choosing the best brand is one of your necessities. The level of comfort and performance offered by loafers is unmatched, much like a good pair of flats.
You can pair them with skirts and dresses, shorts and skirts, pants and pants, t-shirts and tops, and everything in between. If you have the right pair of shoes, your feet won’t be angry at you at the end of a hard day.
We believe it’s worth the extra cost to get quality loafers that won’t cause painful blisters on the back of the heel. Finally, they are a classic shoe, which ensures that the extra money spent on them is not lost in a passing fad.
We’ve personally tried and evaluated every pair of loafers on this list. You can see our picks for the best sneakers for women below, which range from traditional leather pairs that can be dressed up for work to casual suede shoes that are perfect for dressing up and wearing on the weekends.
Everlane The Original Loafer: If you’ve been an Everlane follower for a long time, you probably remember the brand’s first loafer, which was one of the styles that helped put the company on the map. Everlane has finally brought back the loafer with an improved design and cut, resulting in a product that is undeniably superior to its predecessor.
Because the toe is a little more rounded, there is more room for the toes to move and the leather is a little more flexible. They haven’t given me blisters at any point, which is more than I can say for the previous pair.
Thanks to the stacked wooden heel, they have a relaxed look, and the rubber sole prevents slipping and sliding on smooth surfaces.
These are offered in both full and half sizes and the measurements are accurate across the board. If you are often between sizes, go up a half size for the best fit. However, if you have unusually wide feet, I recommend you avoid buying this pair of shoes.
Sam Edelman Lorraine Loafers: Sam Edelman Lorraine Loafers are available in over twenty different colors, from traditional neutrals to bold choices like bright lime yellow, jade green, or croc pink. New surface colors and patterns are introduced to the public as each season changes.
Leather loafers are just the right amount of stiffness to hold their shape, but not so stiff that you get blisters right out of the box.
I was able to wear my dress for the first time for a full day without experiencing any discomfort, which included traveling from the suburbs to Manhattan and back again.
They offer a moderate level of cushioning, which is enough for me to say I’d take them with me on a trip that involves a lot of walking.
In terms of sizing, they are available in full and half sizes, and special colors are available in the wide width option. It’s very unusual to be between 7.5 and 8, and although I went with 8, I could very well have gotten away with 7.5.
If you’re currently between sizes, I recommend going two sizes down because the leather will stretch and mold to your foot as you wear them. In such cases, I recommend sticking to your usual size.
Whitney Vijon Bass: There are many variations of the Whitney Vijon (including a pair with a heavy sole, a pair with a 1990s-inspired platform, a pair with a croc-effect design, and the list goes on), but the original design is unrivaled.
You’ll be surprised at how comfortable and supportive the sole is, despite the fact that it takes a while to break in, especially in the heel area. In addition, the classic design of a pair of penny loafers will basically always be in fashion.
These come in both full and half sizes, and my advice is to choose the one that most closely matches your normal size. If you’re somewhere in between sizes, it’s recommended that you size up, especially if you plan to wear socks with them.
Gucci Brixton Convertible Loafers: If you’ve given it a lot of thought and decided that designer loafers are what you really want, then you should buy a pair of Gucci Brixton Convertible Loafers.
These casual loafers may be expensive, but they will last you a lifetime. Maria Del Russo, formerly our senior style and beauty editor, has owned a pair of Brixtons for the past five years and considers them the most versatile shoe in her collection.
He attributes this to the folding heel, which allows the shoes to be worn as mules, thus giving the wearer two pairs of shoes in one purchase. The quality of the craftsmanship becomes more apparent the more you wear it.
Although Maria has changed the soles of these shoes twice, the leather and hardware have remained in good condition over the years.
Over the years, the Brixtons’ folding heels have become a more washed-out black color than the rest of the heels. This is the only weak point of Brixton.
However, if you want to fix it, you can take them to a cobbler or use leather conditioner on them.
As for size, these are available in both full and half sizes. However, you should be careful to check the accompanying size chart, as it is usually written in Italian size, which is different from European size. Alternately stated: If you find yourself between sizes, we suggest going with the larger of the two.
