These Hey Dude men’s knit loafers, $35 off, offer maximum airflow thanks to their canvas uppers and cotton lining.

Best Leather Loafers

Few footwear materials outlast leather in terms of durability. Even faux leather and vegan leather alternatives hold up against wear and tear like a champ. Leather loafers, then, are a great choice for those in need of a dependable ‘everyday’ shoe. In the market a fashion-forward slip-on? These women’s Sam Edelman loafers, $50 off, have a mule entry that’s easy to step in and out of. Looking for a comfortable daily driver shoe? These supportive, buttery-soft men’s Born loafers are hard to beat.

Best Suede Loafers

Buttery-smooth, soft to the touch, and weather-resistant, suede is a stellar footwear material for all seasons. This spring, we’re spotting comfortable suede loafers pop up all across the web, including designer styles (like these versatile pointed-toe Birdies loafers) and podiatrist-approved iterations (like these Vionic Uptown loafers, $39 off). That’s just the beginning, though: Keep scrolling for more men’s and women’s suede loafers, starting at just $33.
