Allan Edmonds work well. Slightly used, they are comfy asf. I dunno otherwise because I only have a pair from them and one from J. Crew that's about dust.

They are fine I think if you work business casual or are a little older. Outdated would be too harsh a word, displaced is more reasonable. 'Dress' sneakers quietly have encroached on their territory.

>Allan Edmonds
>Tod's
>Gucci

All of them are amazing, have them on rotation, just stay away from Ferragamo.

belgian loafers are a bad start if youre too afraid to wear penny or tassel mocs. good brands are belgian shoe and baudoin & lange

just kill me already, it would be less painful than continuing to exist in this clown world

>>17098344
Considering that most old people wear loafers bought at some bullshit store with fake leather and built like a sneaker, a proper loafer looks very good.

>>17098344
This might be a weird question given the narrow context you have to wear them but... where to find good Opera pumps? I mean old styled, without any kind of "tongue".

>>17098777
Carmina makes them but they're $$

>>17098781
Seen those and while they look fine they have tongue after the ribbon. I'm looking for old styled ones, without said tongue.

Appreciated your help thought. Hope you have a good day :)

>>17098344
Also looking for plain loafers on a ~200€ budget in the EU.

>>17098798
Just bought a pair from them:

I'll see how it goes.

Rancourt beefroll loafer mocs. Handmade in Maine.

I copped these from GH Bass.

Their loafer selection is top tier

And by Gucci I meant their horse bitloafers of course.

>>17098981
Nice Gucci cope anon.

Use this guide. The best I have seen around.

>>17099058
They clink?
>>17099070
Yup

OP you’re wrong.

If you’re afraid of penny loafers definitely don’t get tassel loafers or bit loafers.

I haven’t seen great plain ones.

Get these. Unline suede penny loafers. They don’t have the fuddy duddy old man look that American loafers do.

>>17099727
Unlined*

>>17099730
These are more out there and have the woven look.

But make no mistake - they’re a gamble and much harder to pull off.

>>17099732

>They clink?
depends on the shoemaker, some do.

>Outdated would be too harsh a word, *displaced is more reasonable*. ***'Dress' sneakers*** quietly have encroached on their territory.
>clown world

Exactly this. I had noticed this and reached similar subconscious conclusion. Blurring of fashion lines in dressy-casual category by the CP "dress sneakers" encroachment.

Truly abominable trend of homogenization with Athleisure.

OP here.
>>17098356
I keep hearing about them. Seems like a decent brand.
Call me broke, but I was looking for a market that at least sells at least genuine leather.
Plan is to jump from there to straight cordovan for actual investment
>>17098359
>Tod's
Will check it out. thanks anon
>>17098518
Love the huarache look. Yeah I'm a spic. Every race has their own style that most can't pull of and just end up looking like a hipster
>>17098565
The way i see it, better to have shoes that can match as much attire as possible, then move to pioneer territory. Unfortunately not there yet.
Boomers are making loafers look lame
>>17098777
>Narrow context
Better to be picky and stand out than to look average af, without violating sprezzatura

Gonna read. many thanks
>>17099727
Appreciate the insight, seriously
>>17099824
And then average males complain why females reject them.
They literally look at shoes before the rest of the attire

>>17098344
Loafers are kind of in right now in the fashion zeitgeist, at least NY. There's new brand, I think called Blackstock and Weber (no experience with the brand though) that's popular enough where LeBron has bought some pairs.
My favorite brands for loafers are Vass, Carmina, Enzo Bonafe, and Yuketen (for more classic loafers.) I like dress loafers in particular because they're comfortable as fuck within the office and I can dress them down outside of the office.

>>17098344
>outdated or gay
don't care. been wearing driving-mocs and top siders for years. people will shit test you non stop for it. "wHy aREnT YoU weAriNG SoCKs??" "THosE aRE woMeNs SHoeS!" just keepin on living man. ignore brand. look for comfort above all else.

>>17099727
quit shitting up the board with your trash.
ignore this reddit transplant

>>17100161
lol u mad someone knows how to spell and add line breaks?

what kind of loafers do you suggest?

>>17100158
Closeted faggots who can’t into business slippers are the worst. God forbid someone doesn’t wear skate shoes or boots.

>>17098344
Anyone else really only a fan of a chunkier/wider loafer like pic rel? I feel like those traditional slim cut ones that have been posted in this thread really only work with very slim and tight silhouettes (pls post counter example if im wrong)

>>17098344
For me it's Carmina and Cheaney

>>17101633

>>17101633
This shoe can either be worn by an incredibly masculine guy or an extremely feminine guy there is no in-between

>>17098344

With all the due respect, they're outdated and gay if you're poor and wearing overpriced and obnoxious plastic nigger shoes in a desperate attempt to fit in with the little money you got.

Alden LHS unlined suede penny loafers are the ultimate summerish shoe, they look good with anything.

>>17102252

Hidden, low profile, khaki/ecru coloured socks.

>>17099727

Valstarino jacket, Lardini vacation collar shirt, some high quality denim and unlined suede pennies, this is how grown ups dress, mega comfortable and literally dripping style and sprezzatura, no wonder it isn't appreciated on this dumpster fire of a message board chock full of tryhards frothing at the mouth with nerd rage.

>>17099066

Gucci is for tryhards.

Tod's is for overweight boomers with more money than taste.

Not the same person, mismatched niggerloving faggot.

>>17098906
The shoes have arrived.
I requested a return, their size guide is quite inaccurate. They distinguish between their two lasts and tell you to buy half a size lower for their "wide lasts", the thing is that it isn't really the case.
I fucking hate this, because I can't even put them on. I wonder if it's their shoes that run low on size or if half a size higher (my normal size) will fit well.

>>17102252
Definitely wear some socks, no show socks make it look like you're not wearing any, but you get the advantage of wearing socks. Not wearing socks has some serious drawbacks, so avoid.

>>17098344

>>17102508
I'm naked in my loafers rn ;)

>>17102252
My stance is socks should always be worn with shoes, and never anything shorter than crew socks.

They're uncomfortable. Never understood the logic behind them
Every man should have polo/dress/formal/work shirts with nice collar, proper trousers(preferably pleated), and leather/suede footwear.
Attire is simply a tool at the end of the day, even for casual environments.
Anyone who deviates too far from classic fashion to "express themselves" has low test.
>>17099087
Only this anon has delivered. Thanks again comrade

It's worth finding that decent loafer. Problem is that most people have shit taste. The replies here are proof of that. Now remembered why I don't lurk here often

one of the uglier gucci loafer models.
do you live in NY

>>17098344
I'm definitely in the minority on this but I think Loafers look fucking disgusting and don't "go" with any fit. Any fit with loafers can be improved by wearing something other than loafers.

>>17105764
hows summer break been kiddo

>>17105790
Cope harder loafer tard. On half the fits I've seen loafers in, chelsea boots would make the fit ten times better.

This.^ Leather loafers in black and brown are essential Staples of men's dressy-casual wardrobe. They have been displaced in recent years by so-called dressy ( >>17099824 ) white Common Project sneakers. Chelsea boots are just the flavor of the week for Zoomers. Fashion industry will rotate and revive them, as people tire of the overdone looks of today.

Thoughts on slotting actual pennies into penny loafer slit thingies? Is it gay, a mere fad, or something?

I need 43 but they only sell 42 here in women's, so I can't pull that trick but if you're small you can get the lady's.

I got these Tod's.

Church's had a series with Oxfords and Chelsea boots and a sneaker all with the sneaker sole.

>>17109910
holy fuck these truly look like dogshit

>>17109919
?

Thoughts on Salvatore Ferragamo loafers?

>>17109910
If length is an issue get some heel guards.
They will make up like a third of a size, provide cushioning for your heels, and keep your shoes' heel from wear and tear caused by regular use.

>>17109928
The loafers look like they were lasted on bricks with uppers made from a trash bag.

Also your skin looks ashy.
