I like them too, not quite as much as brogues but they're a good second.

Love them. Prefer them to brogues in fact.

I love them. I wear either loafers or brogues almost every day to work.

Another loafer fan here. So much easier to kick off under your desk than brogues.

I really like them. Had a pair from Office last year and they ripped my feet to absolute shreds though :(

Yep. I love brogues but they don't suit me. Loafers do a very similar job but suit me more.

Loafers are amazing. I pretty much always wear them. I have many pairs in a variety of colours. Work, casual, smart - you name it there's a loafer for every occasion!

Seems I perhaps like them a little too much Grin

Depends on your legs. If they're dumpy like mine with big calves no.

I wish I loved loafers, as they are the ultimate comfy work shoe, but they are just too hideous. Sorry. I am in the minority though.

I have some velvet leopard print ones. I love them.

I love the look of them on other people, but find them too cold and uncomfortable myself. I find they rub on the back of my heel (along with brogues, and most other styles of shoes worn without socks).

I have a couple of pairs, one navy leather and one rose gold, but rarely wear them. I like them, but they don't like me!

No, but I don't like brogues either.

Oh yeah, I've gotta lotta loafer love.

Brogues on the other hand.....make me feel like a dumpy games mistress from an Angela Brazil book.

I have a loafer compulsion and I am also partial to a boat shoe. I look mannish in brogues.
