Cole Haan Lana Lux Remastered Penny Loafers

Ive walked miles in them without any discomfort.

And despite heavy use, Ive had my pair for more than a few years now.

They hold up so well that they look almost brand-new after all this time.

J.Crew New Winona Penny Loafers

The fact that theyre machine-washable definitely helps keep them in great shape for so long.

Slim loafers look good with everything fromdressesto jeansand brown and black leather are all you better get by.

They go with everything I own and quickly elevate and bring polish to any outfit.

Gucci Brixton Horsebit Loafers

Im going on year six with my bordeaux pair, and they still look and feel great!

They run true to size and do stretch a bit with wear, as they are leather.

These loafers are a fall staple for me.

Its easier to wear them with thin socks, but theyre not necessary.

Ive commuted with them everywhereto work, to church, grabbing dinner with friends.
