Hi guys I am looking for a pair of black bit loafer. Below are the choices that I have but I couldnt decide which one to go for so please help me out :)

1) FLORSHEIM Boca Bit Loafer 170USD http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/florshe...h-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=BLACK LEATHER

2) Shipton and Heneage Orsini Mens Black Calf Horsebit Snaffle Loafer 210USD http://www.shipton.com/orsini-black-calf.html

3) Gucci Jordaan Loafer 540 USD https://www.gucci.com/uk/en_gb/pr/m...ductGridComponent&categoryPath=Men/Mens-Shoes

I really like the sleek design of gucci but I am not sure if it is worth the money compare to the other two choices.

Thank you once again

Go with Gucci, or if you really want next level, go with Kiton napoli.

thank you for the reply. How much would that be?

Just ignore him. He's just a Kiton salesperson in the shadows.

I would go with 1st or 3rd option. 1st is more of a loafer and in between dressy/casual imo. Gucci is pricier thanks to brand. It's also a little more dressy imo since it's really a slip on with a pointier toe. So it's up to you and what you're looking for.

That's right I only wear the best. Just because you can not afford. You want the best, you have to pay the best prices.

Yeah ok mr you bought 1 Kiton suit and then resold it? Or was trying to? Like please, you were asking people how much your greaaaaatt Kiton jacket would go for lol

I do own Kiton shirts thanks.

You're just nothing but thinking you wear the best thanks to a label. You couldn't answer any questions about construction really if someone asked you.

The thing is I am a little bit worry about the quality of the 1st option as I heard the quality has declinded for the past few years. However the model is made in Spain so I am not entirely sure. What do you think? Thank you once again

I mean I've never owned any Flors so I can't tell you about the quality but it's not like Gucci shoes are good quality for the price. But I would probably just think about the looks more. It's your shoe and you're the one wearing it.

The Gucci's sort of slip on style is great for younger guys who want to do that trendy suit/sport coat + slip on dress shoe look.

Allen Edmonds has their Verona 2.0s in Black albeit with a silver bit--I would say they're a better option as you can have them resoled. I have them in brown and love them!

I also believe AE's 'made in Italy' loafers are made in some of the same factories as Ferragamo and Gucci.
