The loafer is a classic style that, I think, should be in everyone’s closet. It’ll give a nice punch of structure and edge to any outfit, from a pair of jeans to a skirt or dress. It’s truly the chameleon of the footwear world. If you’re on the hunt for the workforce of your shoe wardrobe, look no further than a pair of slip-on loafers. And if you’re looking for a place to find highly-rated ones with free shipping and free returns, it’s Zappos all the way.
Add a menswear-inspired shoe to your fall wardrobe with these leather ones from Sam Edelman. The metal snaffle (that shiny bar in the middle) adds a touch of old world chicness to a sleek and simple loafer you’ll wear all the time.
If you can’t get enough of the ballet flat, why not do a ballet flat/loafer hybrid? The soft structure of this shoe means it’s insanely comfortable and the fully-rubber footbed gives traction where you need it.
Ah, the classic penny loafer. We’ve all had a pair of these when we were little, but now it’s time to get a grown up version. Slightly menswear-inspired like the Sam Edelman ones above, it has a streamlined silhouette and a rich leather upper for optimum comfort and durability. Plus, the footbed is cushioned.
Speaking of comfort, Dr. Scholl’s knows a thing or two about comfort. These loafers are made from supple, pebble-grain leather and feature a hint of faux calf-hair right by the pull tab. The low, stacked heel gives the right amount of lift without feeling overwhelming.
The tassel loafer is an iconic, feminine shoe style and this one is made from premium leather with a padded footbed. The small heel provides some height while the man-made outsole gives some flexibility and helps to absorb shock.
