Style and Calvin Klein go hand in hand, like peanut butter and jelly. These Calvins are an updated version of the classic suede loafer.

4. Crocs Men’s Santa Cruz 2 Luxe Leather Loafer
Pros:- Utility
- Comfort
- Rubber soled
Cons:- Wide
- Loose fitting
- Beware of scuffs
Now I know what you’re thinking. Crocs? Really? I am here to answer and the answer is…an absolute yes! Crocs are known for being the shoe you can do anything in while also being very comfortable. While I wouldn’t dive into the pool while wearing these, nor would I wear them on the beach, you can get a lot of good use out of these in comparison to other suede loafers. The thick rubber soles are going to make these shoes last while keeping your feet cool and comfortable. I never would have thought that Crocs would have success in the loafer game, but here is the proof that they do. Now I know they aren’t 100% suede, but they have the suede design so I am confident in the selection and happy to put them on the list.

5. Cole Haan Men’s Grand Horizon Oxford II Sneaker
Pros:- Comfort
- Style
- Lifespan
Cons:- Quality
- Wide
- Buy backup laces
If you like the look of a loafer, love the style of a suede shoe, but prefer the feel of a sneaker and the upkeep of well, also a sneaker. You have landed on the right shoe for you. These have the style of a suede loafer with the practicality of a leather, rubber-soled sneaker. You could play a game of basketball in these if you wanted, but I recommend just walking around and thanking people when they compliment you on them. You want these to last and with the rubber sole, they will give you a little extra life. The leather body will provide you with a shoe that you don’t need to spray with a protective spray just so they don’t stain. These are the perfect shoe for the man that isn’t completely sold on suede loafers but is ready to take a small leap.

6. Hugo Boss Men’s Travelling Dandy Suede Leather Moccasin Slip-On Loafer
Pros:- Slip on
- Colors
- Design quality
Cons:- High maintenance
- Need insoles
- Narrow
Hugo Boss makes some really nice clothing and the quality and style don’t stop at their shoes. These loafers are as good looking as they are practical. The slip-on loafer is the preferred loafer in the shoe world because of how smooth the design is and obviously because they are easy to get on and off. Not only are will you get a lot of use out of these shoes but they come in some fun colors that will definitely complete any outfit. Wear these with jeans or khakis or dress pants but stay away from shorts and find yourself opening up new doors to what you can wear and how you can wear it.

7. Ariat Men’s Cruiser Slip-on Shoe
Pros:- Multiple designs
- Well made
- Attractive
Cons:- Arch support
- Half size small
- Not an active shoe
Extra style points if you grab a pair of these sick shoes. These loafers come in a bunch of different styles and designs including camouflage as well as a pair with an American flag on the tongue. There aren’t a lot of camo shoes out there without getting something military issued or by doing your shopping at the Army-Navy Surplus. If you want something different, that not everyone you pass on the street is going to be wearing. Grab a few pairs of these shoes and stand out while you stand up.

9. ALDO Men’s Eigen Loafer
Pros:- Gorgeous
- Colors
- Utility
Cons:- Narrow
- Shallow toe
- Size too small
These loafers scream fashion. They come in two colors, black and tan/yellow. I recommend getting both pairs because they will both serve you well. They are sexy, they have steez for days, and you will be the freshest guy on the block while wearing these. You can wear them with jeans, khakis or some nicely pressed dress slacks. Or just throw the slacks in the dryer on the wrinkle-free setting if you’re like me and you don’t press your pants. If you don’t think these loafers are absolutely gorgeous, take your temperature because you are delusional. These are the perfect loafers for, well, anything

10. FRYE Men’s Chris Venetian Loafer
Pros:- Quality
- Good-looking
- Great fit
Cons:- Higher price
- High maintenance
- Limited colors
The Frye Company is the prime destination for women’s boots and shoes, but they also make some seriously dope loafers. The shoe game is very strong with this company and they go all-in on nearly every pair they create. These suede shoes are no exception to the rule. They look good, they are crazy popular and if you can make them work budget-wise you are going to fall in love with every single pair you buy, and I recommend buying more than one pair so you can make them last longer and rotate them daily. That is the real secret to keeping your shoes in good shape longer, buy more shoes and wear a different pair every single day.

11. Florsheim Men’s Denison Penny Driver Loafer
Pros:- Colors
- Trusted name
- Feel
Cons:- Run a size small
- Narrow
- Hard to break in
Florsheim is more well known for its contributions to dress boots and even dressier shoes. Color me surprised when I found out they make casual but fun loafers as well. The color choices you have with these are second to almost none. Go wild, wear some different colors and get noticed. Being known as the guy with the cool shoes is never a bad thing. If you’re going to hold on to that monicker then why not be comfortable and confident while you’re at it? When a shoe or loafer comes in multiple colors, I always recommend getting a couple of pairs and add a more to your selection.

12. TSIODFO Men’s Driving Penny Dress Loafers Moccasins Slip On Shoes
Pros:- Colors
- Fit
- Price
Cons:- Shorter than normal
- Slightly narrow
- Need insoles
This is the loafer you NEED if you want to get multiple pairs and super cool colors. They make just about every color you could think of, so if you’ve got a bright blue shirt and you want to match your shoes exactly, you can. Bright yellow? They make ’em. Bright green? They make those too. These shoes have you covered and with the price point being where it is, don’t be bashful about grabbing yourself two or three pairs to fill out the shoe collection that should obviously be growing bigger and bigger each day!

13. Aquatalia Men’s Sebastian Suede Loafer
Pros:- Vintage
- Color options
- Weather proof
Cons:- Insoles needed
- Break-in time
- Narrow
If your fashion sense is a little more retro or vintage, then I think I have found the right loafer for you. Not only do these bring you back to the ’70s and ’80s but they have a higher heel and who doesn’t like to be an inch or two taller? The look is sleek, the feel is retro and the colors are classic. You will most definitely have a shirt and pants in your wardrobe that will go well with these shoes. The synthetic soles will last you a bit longer and the imported design will have you feeling and looking like a total boss!

Materials to Consider:
Obviously, with a suede loafer, your first option should be suede. If you find some loafers that you really like that are leather with a rubber or composite sole that's fine too. You can still have that suede look without going full calfskin. Also, I recommend that you go ahead and find yourself a protective spray especially for suede to increase the longevity of the loafers, you will thank me later.
Pro Tip:
Aside from the protective spray, make sure you wear the right pants with the right shoes. Some suede loafers just don't look good with jeans, but that doesn't mean you've got to throw them back in the closet, just find some khakis or nice slacks and enjoy your new shoes. Stay away from shorts. Stay away from cargo pants.
