5 brands to check out for stylish loafers at a reasonable price

Often shopping is unsuccessful not due to a lack of choice, but because you’re spoilt for choice. If a classic loafer has been on your wish list for a while, this selection is your shortcut to happiness.

Sure, loafers for autumn are hardly groundbreaking. Some are understated and classic, others have thick soles, while different iterations stand out from minimalist styles with a buckle or tassel. How do you choose – in the ideal scenario, even the right pair?

So you don’t have to, I’ve gone through our entire range of loafers and curated a total of five brands offering attractive, high-quality yet affordable loafers.

Selected Homme

The lifestyle brand is part of the Danish company Bestseller, which is also responsible for Selected Femme and Jack & Jones and Only among other brands. Selected Homme’s focus is clearly on the zeitgeist and trends, but also on good materials and high manufacturing quality. Its leather and suede loafers are robust and comfortable, and look just as good as more expensive models.

Paul Green

A loafer from the Austrian brand Paul Green is a safe bet if you want durable and comfortable shoes. Because it only does one thing: making women’s shoes. A cobbler who sticks to their trade, in the truest sense of the word. You can see and feel this expertise. Even if the price tag is over 200 francs, you can be sure that every cent is a safe investment, because you’ll have this shoe for a long time.

Base London

The brand is based in Loughton, near London, and is still a real insider’s secret for affordable, high-quality men’s shoes in this country. Alongside brogues, combat boots and even stylish leather sandals, you can also find really cool loafers in Base London’s range – and they won’t even cost you the length of 100 francs. A brand that should definitely be on your radar when it comes to buying shoes.

Tamaris

Less of an insider tip, but often underestimated: Tamaris. This brand from Germany used to have a reputation as being somewhat stuffy and less trendy. But it’s winning over a growing number of customers with its accessories – shoes and bags. You can also count on its wide range when it comes to loafers for autumn. What else do you need to know?Almost exclusively artificial leather is used. Your conscience and your wallet will thank you for this.

Bobbies

You may already be aware of Bobbies from an ad on social media – it seems to be everywhere you look right now. And rightly so. The brand comes from Paris, and manufactures its shoes, bags and belts in Portugal. The prices are fair for high-quality leather goods, and the look fits right in with the current mainstream trends. My favourite (for men)? It’s got to be the Allen loafer.
