Might not be straight "SWNE" material but I love the suede drivers from M. Gemi.

Belgian Shoes are the best! Tasteful, understated, and very comfortable. They are handmade, and their sizing is particular, so ordering is a bit of an ordeal, but well worth it.
ReplyDeleteI love my Belgian shoes, but I have also had very good luck with House of Bruar loafers. Leather Penny Loafer = PRODUCT CODE: TA05414. These are very good for work and for the price, I don’t care if I trash them. The soft version is great for the summer.
ReplyDeleteHouse of Briar is classic!
ReplyDeleteI'm male and only buy loafers from two places now - Alden and Rancourt. I don't know if Alden makes women's shoes, but Rancourt's women's loafers are worth a look.
ReplyDeleteFor classic traditional loafers Rancourt, Quoddy, and Russell are all excellent. These are listed in escalating order of pricing. I have bought Rancourt and Quoddy for my wife.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a big fan of Belgian shoes, but sadly over the years, they are actually even too soft for me now and don't always provide good arch support. I also used to wear Ferragamo for work, but I now find the leather too rigid sometimes for my poor feet (I am actually long overdue for an operation on my feet). A British friend recommended Baudoin & Lange Belgian loafers in the UK; I am considering ordering a pair. Apart from that, the only shoes I seem to tolerate lately are Ecco shoes from Denmark...not strictly loafers, I know, but they do have a range of decent styles that provide comfort.
ReplyDeleteI get my classic penny loafers from Bass. Still quite well-made.
ReplyDeleteI have worn Hush Puppies since I was a small girl. Also Tods.
