13 Celebration-Ready Loafers That Are Comfier Than Sneakers

Loafers are trendier than sneakers and sandals combined . . . we don’t make the rules. The kicks have a timeless, classy flair, enhanced by luxe leather and suede materials, shiny hardware, stitching and intricate detailing. Any outfit becomes 10 times more upscale when loafers are involved!

But like strappy sandals, flats and heels, the wrong loafers are all looks. Buying uncomfortable loafers is similar to throwing your hard-earned dollars at the wind; if they’re not comfortable, you won’t wear them! Fall is a time of many gatherings, parties, events and celebrations, so if you want a pair of loafers that carry you through without blisters and cramping, check out our top picks!
