The Best Women’s Loafers: Comfy, Casual & Chic!

The Sam Edelman loafers offer exactly what you would expect from a brand known for simple, elegant designs. 

The rounded toe and mini-block heel create a slimming and toning effect that will make your entire body and outfit look amazing! 

And, while many women’s loafers wear down easily, the Sam Edelman shoes feature durable, high-quality elements including a synthetic outsole, full grain leather fabric, an almond toe, and – as a bonus – a color palette that’s incredibly bright and fresh!

I have two pairs of Birdies loafers and they are literally like wearing slippers on your feet.

The insoles have some thick quilted cushion that cradles your feet, while the soles have a durable finish so you can walk all day in them, no problem.

Personally, the leopard-print calf hair is my favorite (but I also have them in a rich burgundy color). They match any fall or spring look and I was so impressed by how comfortable they were from the very first wear. 

No blisters or breaking in period!

I recommend ordering your normal size – they may feel just slightly tight at first, but they’ll quickly expand a bit to mold to your feet.

If you like a simple, understated loafer, this one’s for you.

I’ve bought a couple of Everlane loafers over the years, because the quality is always excellent. The leather is supple and requires no breaking in, and the simple designs work with any outfit whether it’s to work or something casual on the weekend.

Their latest loafer is a more modern design.

It has a timeless tapered toe that’s not too square, or too round, and a small stacked heel. I have them in black, but am considering another in white as well!

I do think they run just a touch big but I don’t mind, since I plan to wear them with socks this fall and winter.

While I love the bright colors showcased above, every shoe closet demands at least one pair of brown women’s loafers. 

Compatible with basically any outfit, these women’s loafers from J. Crew also feature authentic leather, a flattering round toe silhouette, and an easy slip-on design!

For a classic staple like the black women’s loafer, I would always lean toward picking a shoe whose design reflects that classic simplicity and tradition. 

The Clarks loafers are almost eagerly simple, featuring little more than a simple fabric lining, soft leather upper, and classic penny strap. 

There may be no bells and whistles, but it’s exactly this simplicity – and how compatible they are with any outfit type – that makes me love these Clarks loafers so much! 

One common drawback of women’s loafers is typically a super rigid fit that can easily cause blisters, foot aches, and general discomfort. 

Luckily, you can avoid these pitfalls without losing the style of the best women’s loafers. UGG knows a thing or too about comfortable shoes.

Their take on the loafer – a high-grip rubber outsole, trademark molded footbed, and sleek suede fabric – lets you experience classic UGG comfort all year long!

Since leather and loafers are a match made in fashion heaven, I truly believe no other pair can beat the Sperry loafers’ casual yet chic vibe. 

At first glance, the classic nubuck leather, vintage penny slots, and mini-block heel may strike you as elements of a polished yet unremarkable loafer. 

 However, the Sperry loafers include some sophisticated and modern touches including a waterproof rubber outsole, memory foam footbed, and crocodile-embossed leather! 

Ultimately the best women’s loafers are so great because they are simple yet stylish shoes that complement pretty much any outfit. 

Get too complacent with this convenience, however, and you can easily find yourself with a closet full of loafers that all basically look the same. 

They say variety is the spice of life anyway, and what better represents that attitude than these loafers from Tory Burch?

The exaggerated chain, honeycomb patterning, and bold two-tone color scheme all provide daring style that won’t be easily found anywhere else! 

Known as the gold standard for the best loafers, Salvatore Ferragamo has outdone even this lofty reputation with its latest model. 

These loafers feature reversible gancio hardware that can roll between gold and silver for a customized, sophisticated, and priceless look. 

Featuring premium Italian leather everywhere from the lining to the fabric to the outsole, Ferragamo spares no expense (and neither will you!) creating the Rolls-Royce of women’s loafers! 

When most women’s loafers are either monochromatic or block-colored, something like these patterned loafers from Kate Spade are guaranteed to turn heads. 

Featuring the legendary houndstooth pattern overlaid on upper’s leather fabric, Kate Spade offers the rare opportunity to get both a spunky pattern and a high-quality designer loafer! 

Margaux makes really high quality shoes and these suede loafers are no exception.

They’re sleek, with a distinct almond toe and flattering side cut.

The outers are made of Italian suede, while the insole is lined with leather that will mold to your feet over time. There’s just a slight heel, for a bit of extra support, and to dress the shoes up.

If you’re looking for an all purpose suede loafer that you can wear both to work, and on the weekends, Margaux is a great option!
