Tods but cheaper

[OurTracey]

Hi, I love Tods but not their price tag! Can anyone recommend anything cheaper? much cheaper!
Btw I mean the loafer/boat shoe style.
TIA

Check out Tods on eBay, there is a good supply of worn-once etc ones on there. It's where I get/sell mine these days!

Do you mean Toms? Shoe zone have fake Toms for £10.

Massimo Dutti had some lovely shoes in last time I was in one which looked very Tods-esque.

If you're at all near Bicester village they have a Tods outlet there...

I bought some Tod-like (driving) shoes last year from Russell and Bromley which were a lot cheaper than Tods themselves - might be worth a look to see if they still stock them - style was 'Fly-Drive'.

Have googled but can't find a picture - (Russell and Bromley website still lacking in usefulness - but it looks like developments might be underway...)

This site has nice loafers.

Thank you. I'm nowhere near Bicester but quite near Cheshire Oaks, never thought of there!
And I'm in London at the weekend so will find out where there is a branch of Massimo Dutti. And R and B.
I've not bought shoes from Ebay before but will take a look.
PoppyWearer, you sell 200 quid shoes after wearing them once?!

No, I buy them for £50 second hand on eBay! Then resell them for about the same price if I end up not wearing them.

I have had the pleasure of owning a few new pairs - from the Bicester outlet!

Hi! I was also in search of Tods gommino loafers but for a better price tag. €330 is crazy!!! Like @monkeysmama says, Massimo Dutti does have quite nice loafers.

I also bought loafers/driving shoes from another brand recently. It is named Aurélien. I hadn’t heard from it before but I was very happy with the quality. Their loafers are exactly the same as Tod’s in quality and design. But for a much lower price. I bought them for €135. Shipping was also very fast!

They sell for both men and women. I purchased mine at: www.aurelien-online.com.

Special thanks to their customer care agent Madeleine who helped me find the right size!

Hope this helps! Also for any future buyers who are looking for a cheaper Tod’s alternative and come across this thread.

Timberland or Bass Weejuns, both comfortable, stylish, durable & reasonably priced compared to Tods.
