Ohhhh, best sub-$300 NON-tassel loafer
That’s what I get for queuing question answers late into the night.
Here’s the original question:
Best sub $300 non-tassle loafers? Under $200 would be ideal–really looking for the best value. Any thoughts on Mashburn non-italian loafers? Meermin?
To which I answered, the Allen Edmonds Grayson, which is
- A tassel loafer (doh!), but
- Still a great deal for $200 shipped.
For non-tassel loafers, I think Meermin’s Classic Collection loafers in Dark Brown Calf, Brown Suede, and Light Brown Calf are the best value at about $225 shipped to the US.
From the description, I expect Sid’s loafers are made by Rancourt in Maine. Nice shoes, but I’d personally pick the Meermins for $70 less.
For under $200, try eBay–you can use my shoe search here and filter for loafers in your size. I particularly like the Allen Edmonds Patriot in brown–for some reason, there seems to be a decent supply in good condition on the ‘Bay right now, so they’re going for pretty cheap. I think they’re the shoes in Kiyoshi’s Khaki’s post last week.
