i constantly see threads about boots & sneakers, what about loafers?

any recommended brands?

[Anonymous No.8322633]

>>8322200
bass, oak street bootmakers, alden

not really much difference in design between brands (i assume you're talking about just penny loafers), so the main variable is leather quality

Yep, keep voicing an opinion that isn't restated every time a similar thread is started. All he was pointing out is that there is simply no need for it.

Stating penny loafers are for old people is as newfag as asking for sauce on raf velcros, and as tasteless as people who defend rick dreamboxes.

Why bother? Especially when you'll be buying something similar a year from now.

this tread lmao

I'm 22 and I think loafers are cool but only if they're nice leather and you treat em right. I don't have any loafers though

I know one guy who used to post in the shoe collection threads had a pair of rancourt & co natural chromexcel beefroll penny loafers. So some people here do like that kind of thing.

personally, I find the boot treads too limited. I think we should have leather footwear generals, for everything from boots to penny loafers to boat shoes to cap toe balmorals. would make it more interesting imo.

It's not so much the style of the upper but the shape of the last. I think a narrow and sleeker toe like this looks better.

I don't know what asos is - from reading on /fa/ I guess it's cheapo clothes store.
The only slip on footwear I have are chelsea boots.
I prefer lace up boots and shoes.
I only notice old men wear loafer styles. Can they be worn in the same style as boat shoes? I suppose they look a little more busy, and I notice more young people wear those.

Maybe I'll grow to like them when my skin gets all pasty and those little blue veins bulge to prominence around my tired, sockless ankles. Maybe then I'll be ready for loafers.

But not yet.

There are general threads that stay on topic depending on the subject (sneakers and boots). They may have shitposting, but there will be content of the subject.

there are some brands that do some pretty casual loafers. yuketen does some that are loafers with sneaker soles, for example. but there are tons of brands that do stuff like that.
