These iconic kicks need no introduction. There are many designer loafers to choose from—Bottega Veneta, Tod’s, Louboutin—but we’re partial to Gucci’s laidback, extra-comfy pair featuring the brand’s signature horsebit hardware and foldable back. There have been many iterations through the years, each just as stylish as the last. “Though the leather is buttery soft, these loafers have withstood long walks on gritty NYC streets,” commerce director Schwartz says. “The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned, they have no painful break-in time, nor do they cause blisters, and I love the iconic OG horsebit detail. Plus, they can also be worn as slides.”
