Walking in loafers

[CJones]

Does this pair of Loake loafers have heels too high for comfortable daily walking? If they are, recommend me another pair of similarly priced brown suede loafers.

I found these on Yoox, but they look like they could be bad quality.

Granted I only do limited city/office walking (probably only a mile or so per day) but my tassels seem to be similar to the Loakes and are more than comfortable. I think it depends on how much walking you plan to do.

Stay away from the Yoox shoes. They look dreadful.

I'm planning to purchase Loake Fenchurch. Does anyone know if they should be about 0.5 size smaller than your usual shoes for a snugger fit?

If heel is an issue, you can always get a pair of drivers shoes.

The Loakes are perfectly fine. You definitely don't want driving loafers unless you don't mind ruining them as they are not designed to pound pavement

They look fine to me. If it becomes an issue it should be very easy to get a good shoe repair store to take down the heel. They do this on women's shoes all the time. LeatherSpa in NYC does it for sure.

+1 on staying away from the yoox
