These Vintage Loafers Are Certified Grails
Plus, the leather slippers I keep seeing ads for, my favorite boat shoes, and more footwear recs in this week’s Shoesday.
Welcome to Shoesday, a weekly column, sent every Tuesday, about shoes.
There were a lot of shoe-related topics I wanted to cover this week and frankly, I couldn’t settle on just one, so instead I’m bringing you a shoe-focused recommendation compilation that includes the following:
The summer-ready slippers I keep seeing ads for on Instagram, and which are seemingly working because I’m on the verge of buying a pair
The perfectly-preserved, made-in-England, grail-level loafers I came across at Alfargo’s this weekend
A quick note in support of wearing your Chuck Taylors in the rain
A round-up of beautiful made in USA and Italy vintage shoes I found that are under $100 and were originally sold by one of America’s most iconic mall brands
I’m wearing boat shoes again now that summer is here, so I figured I’d talk about my go-to pair and a few others I think are worth setting sail with this season
Let’s get to it, and enjoy!!!
