If you are one of those people who is wearing loafer shoes made of leather, choosing from the best brand is one of your necessities. The level of adaptability and functionality offered by loafers is unparalleled, much like that of a good pair of flats. You may pair them with skirts and dresses, shorts and skirts, slacks and trousers, t-shirts and tank tops, and everything in between. If you have the correct pair of shoes, your feet won't be angry with you at the end of a hard day. We believe that it is well worth the additional expense to get high-quality loafers that will not cause you to develop those painful blisters on the back of your heel. 
In the end, they are a classic shoe, which ensures that the additional money spent on them will not be frittered away on a passing fad. We have tried on and evaluated personally each and every pair of loafers included on this list. You can see our selections for the finest women's loafers below, which range from traditional leather pairs that can be dressed up for work to casual velvet shoes that are perfect for wearing out and about on the weekends.
- Everlane The Original Loafer: If you've been a follower of Everlane for quite a while, you probably remember the brand's first loafer, which was one of the styles that helped put the company on the map. Everlane eventually brought back the loafer with an improved design and cut, and the result is a product that is unquestionably superior to the one that came before it. Because the toe is a little bit more rounded, there is more room for your toes to move around, and the leather is a little bit more flexible. They haven't caused me to get any blisters at any point, which is more than I can say for the previous pair. They have a laid-back appearance thanks to the stacked heel made of wood, and the rubber outsole keeps wearers from slipping and sliding on smooth surfaces.
These are offered in both whole and half sizes, and the sizing is accurate across the board. If you are often in between sizes, go up a half size for the best fit; however, if you have unusually wide feet, I would advise you to steer clear of purchasing this pair of shoes.
- Sam Edelman Loraine Loafers: The Sam Edelman Loraine Loafers are available in more than twenty different colors, ranging from traditional neutrals to daring selections like as bright lemony yellow, jade green, or pink croc-effect. New hues and surface patterns are presented to the public with the changing of each season.
The leather loafers have exactly the right amount of stiffness to keep their shape, but they are not so rigid that you will get blisters wearing them right out of the box. I was able to wear mine for the first time over a whole day without experiencing any discomfort, which included traveling from the suburbs into Manhattan and back again. They offer a moderate level of cushioning, which is sufficient for me to say that I would carry these with me on a trip that involved a lot of walking. In terms of sizing, they are offered in full and half sizes, and certain colors are available in a wide width option. It's very uncommon for me to be somewhere between a 7.5 and an 8, and although I went with the 8, I very well could have been able to get away with the 7.5. If you are currently in between sizes, I would recommend going with the smaller of the two sizes because the leather will stretch and shape itself to your foot as you use them. In such case, I would recommend sticking with your regular size. 
- Bass Whitney Weejuns: There are many different variations of the Whitney Weejuns (including a pair with a really hefty lug sole, a pair with a platform inspired by the 1990s, a pair with a croc-effect design, and the list continues), but the original design is unrivaled. You will be pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and supportive the insole is, despite the fact that they require a little bit of time to break in, particularly in the heel area. In addition, the classic design of a pair of penny loafers will essentially always be in vogue.
These come in both whole and half sizes, and my advice is to choose the one that corresponds most closely to your normal one. If you fall somewhere in between sizes, it is recommended that you get the larger of the two, particularly if you intend to wear socks with them.
- Gucci Brixton Horsebit Convertible Loafer: If you've given it a lot of thought, and you've come to the conclusion that designer loafers are what your heart really wants, then you should purchase a pair of Gucci Brixton Horsebit Convertible Loafers. These timeless loafers may be expensive, but they will serve you well for the rest of your life. Maria Del Russo, who formerly served as our senior style and beauty editor, has owned a pair of Brixtons for the past five years and considers them to be the most versatile shoe in her collection. She attributes this to the fold-down heel that allows the shoes to be worn as mules, thereby providing the wearer with two pairs of footwear in one purchase. The quality of the craftsmanship becomes more obvious the longer you wear them. Although Maria has had the soles of these loafers resoled twice, the leather and hardware have remained in good condition throughout the years.
The fold-down heels of the Brixtons have, over the course of many years, become a somewhat more washed-out shade of black than the remainder of the heel. This is the one and only disadvantage to the Brixtons. However, if you want to correct it, you may either take them to a cobbler or use a leather conditioner on them. Regarding sizing, these are available in both full and half sizes; however, you should be careful to examine the accompanying size chart because it is typically written in Italian sizing, which differs from European sizing. Alternatively stated: If you find yourself in between sizes, we suggest going with the larger of the two.
