As a longtime Loafer Girlie, I couldn't be happier that loafers are still having ~a moment~ (shoutout to the resurgence of Y2K and early-aughts aesthetics!!). From menswear-inspired penny loafers to chunky lug-sole loafers, I love 'em all—but since I value comfort above all else, I have zero patience for shoes that require a breaking-in period. Some styles can feel pretty stiff initially, while others are way too clunky or heavy for my liking. And if you, too, require comfy shoes to feel like your best self, I've got actually comfortable loafers that your feet will <3.
So...what makes for a comfortable loafer? As Nomasei designers Paule Tenaillon and Marine Braquet previously told Cosmo, it's always a good idea to look for loafers with "a flexible sole, a vamp that isn't overly tight, and a slight lift so that it's not too flat." Likewise, loafers made with natural fibers like leather tend to be more breathable and have more stretch than those made with synthetic materials (though you may still want to wear new leather loafers with socks until they soften). Now, on to the good stuff!
Our top picks for the most comfortable loafers of 2024:
