I grew up wearing Bass Weejun penny loafers as a teen in prep school, and I still like them today as an adult. Classic and traditional in an understated way. I've seen online reviews stating the Bass Weejun build quality has fallen off, but I haven't noticed. Maybe some of those reviews are old. They do take 2-3 days of wear to break in comfortably, though.

I recently purchased a pair of Randolph penny loafers at the Allen Edmonds store in Massachusetts in Chili as I had to throw a Black pair of LL Bean penny loafers away due to a hole in the sole where I pivot, LL Bean no longer sells these shoes, and they were 6 years old. I find Allen Edmonds a good brand, and their boots can be recrafted by them when the sole wears out. I am considering purchasing another pair but in Brown, as you mentioned. Thank you, Ashley, for your insight and advice.

Hey, guy's, I love bit loafers, have budget Cole Haan and a little more upscale Ferragamos. I where them alot with my purple label navy blazer (classic cut) with slim/ modern cut jeans/ slacks/ khakis. When I in a group, they always think I'm the boss. Not that it makes me look old, commands respect. Still wondering if I'll bite the bullet and buy the iconic 1953 Gucci loafer. Great video, keep posting.

Just saw this at the end of May 2023. Basically sound advice here. I am a shoe person, and I own all of the loafer types mentioned, Weejuns (plain and tasseled), 2 Geox driving (bit and plain in black), 2 Cole Hahn bit and plain in brown), Sperry Topsiders. I don't get the prejudice against black drivers, my black Geox are the most versatile shoes I own, and I probably wear at least 25 different pairs of shoes at least once a month. The black Geox bit loafers look great with a suit (rare event) and especially jeans, or even an Adidas track suit. I am very partial to the drivers as an older person because the sole provides extra cushioning and security against slipping,

I like the video but I feel slightly differently about a few things and agree on a few things - 1) buy fewer pairs but make sure their quality is top notch ! Cheap pairs add up fast, especially when you have to throw them out. 2) best to buy penny loafers in brown with a burnish/burgundy/chestnut, because they can be paired with black too! 3) Yes, Tod’s without a shadow of a doubt make the best driving loafers- tan, navy blue, bottle green (slightly darker than hunting green), all fantastic choices! 4) Horsebit loafers- Gucci’s are iconic, but ferragamo makes an objectively better pair. 5) Venetians - very high end . Can often clash unknowingly . But boy are they comfy!

Definetely respect (not at all) that in the whole video you showed us 6 types of loafers, but only 3 of them were actual loafers! And 2 out of those 3 were in 'not to wear' part. That pissed me off totally, to be fair! 2 pairs of 'loafers' were moccasins and another pair was actually slippers. That's how it should be: 1. Kiltie loafers (only my opinion. Might be too boldly for somebody, maybe even for majority) 2. Tassel loafers 3. Penny loafers (to keep it simple) P.S. Every pair was mentioned in leather variation. not in suede one
