I've just bought these, as I fancied a pair of black loafers. Yes, black shoes are classed as being formal, but with tassle loafers having less to the vamp/top of the shoe than penny loafers have, they look even less formal than penny loafers and obviously Oxford or Derby lace ups.

I wore them for the first time yesterday. After days of dry, warm(ish) weather I felt confident enough to try them out. They felt ok, potential slipping wise, but with the soles being polished leather it was still dodgy. I popped into my nearest Timpson's more for a chat with the bloke who works there than for a shoes matter. Though on mentioning my leather soled loafers he said 'Pass them here and I'll make the soles less potentially slippy'. He used their stripping, buffing machine to put a key (rough them up a bit) on the soles, not charging me a penny.😉

Seeing as they are Loake's they didn't give me any of the usual breaking in Loake shoes, especially their boots pain, even after 6 hours of wearing them.😉

It could happen yet, but so far so good!😉
