Do you like loafers? As in the traditional leather ones?

God no. They are fugly.

humanfemale · 05/04/2017 18:57

I like them.

Floisme · 05/04/2017 19:00

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

Shopgirl1 · 05/04/2017 19:16

Love them. Prefer them to brogues in fact.

libertydoddle · 05/04/2017 19:17

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

Millybingbong · 05/04/2017 19:17

Picture please so I can be clear what you mean and see if it is the thing I am thinking of buying

EmmaC78 · 05/04/2017 19:28

I love loafers too. Quite often wear them at work.

Love a loaf.

Crumbs1 · 05/04/2017 19:39

I live in my Boden loafers.

AspasiaFitzgibbon · 05/04/2017 19:40

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

Mrsknackered · 05/04/2017 19:40

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

margaritasbythesea · 05/04/2017 21:39

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

RealHouswifeofBury · 05/04/2017 21:45

Love loafers and brogues

Llamallann · 05/04/2017 23:24

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

UppityHumpty · 06/04/2017 05:55

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

MadisonMontgomery · 06/04/2017 11:09

I love love love loafers and brogues - pretty much all I wear.

maisyanddaisy · 08/04/2017 21:02

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.

Shamoffour · 08/04/2017 21:07

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

Greenvalleymama · 08/04/2017 21:08

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!

Mrs9C · 08/04/2017 21:25

No, but I don't like brogues either.

squoosh · 08/04/2017 21:27

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.

Lucked · 09/04/2017 08:49

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