After months of looking for a loafer that can work with casual and formal wear, I finally found them!
They feel light. I bought a size 6 (online) and it fits perfectly- it leaves enough space to wear socks.
They look great with ankle grazer/cropped trousers and skirts/dresses.
The gold trim isn't too shiny, so it doesn't cheapen the look.
I'd be a bit cautious if one has wider feet, because they are rather narrow.
Happy with the purchase.
