    Loafer?



    I wear chinos, a dress shirt, and a sweater to school. I can't seem to find the perfect shoe, though. I tried Clark's dessert boot, but they seem to floppy -- I feel strange wearing them all dressed up. The one Oxford tried was too bulky for me.


    I seem to constantly return to the loafer. I like them a lot. But I need some help choosing the right pair. What do you all suggest? Better yet, what do you suggest for a different style of shoe as well?


    Thanks, as always in advance...

    boat shoes, loafers, moccasin type shoes.


    the right pair is largely a matter of taste. penny, tassel, strap, horsebit, whatever the little fringe things are called.


    I think a pair of penny loafers would get you pretty far, weejuns are classics,

    but there are TONS of loafers out there.


    these A&E's are on sale

    look around a check ebay and see what you like. I like a little bit sleeker shoe, I have these in brown

      LL Bean Camp Moc. Used it for college, grad school, work (business casual). Comes in D and EE; more of a pebbled texture than these pics show. Easy to slip on, easy out, casual yet dressy enough.

        @Weng Thanks! Yeah, something like that. Like those a lot...

        @Ben The AEs are a bit too dressy. I do love AE though. Have a gorgeous pair of light brown wingtips for more formal wear.

          And, with loafer socks, the camp moc is great in summertime with shorts! I have always gone with dark brown...the cactus is newer.

              For the winter you might want some boots like the Chippewa that have been discussed on here. Depends on where you are and the weather.
