Women’s loafers are timeless for a reason: Classy and comfortable, these shoes are perfect for transitioning from Zoom to the office and then out for errands. We especially love the timelessness of a good whiskey brown women’s loafer— is there anything more classic?
From vegan loafers to penny loafers, these 10 brands below have them all. And for leather women’s loafers, these brands have almost all been certified by the Leather Working Group.

Best Overall | Best Vegan | Most Comfortable
1. Nisolo
Price Range | $170–$200
Nisolo is a certified B Corp with more unique takes on loafers, including chukkas, oxfords, and d’Orsays. Committed to both doing and looking good, Nisolo offers 100 percent living wages to its employees while also negating any carbon emissions.

2. Will’s Vegan Store
Price Range | $70–$114
Will’s Vegan Store has loafer options for everyone—and they won’t break the bank either! This UK-based brand is certified carbon neutral, uses plastic-free packaging, and employs workers’ protections to ensure fair labor. The loafers are made with OEKO-TEX certified materials and recycled rubber so it’s 100 percent cruelty-free. And when you’re ready, Will’s accepts your shoes to recycle, too.
3. M.Gemi
Price Range | $198–$278
M.Gemi works with Italian artisans to create timeless, elegant shoes—including loafers (otherwise known as drivers). While the price on these is steeper than others, each pair is handmade with traditional techniques. And we love the range; some are backless slip-ons while others are lined with shearling to keep you warm all season long. And the color options are excellent, too.
4. Reformation
Price Range | $248–$268
Reformation, one of our fave LA-based sustainable brands, has a loafer collection full of fresh takes on the classic look we all love. With lug soles, sling backs, platforms, and block or kitten heels, find your new signature look for the season. The Climate Neutral certified brand makes their goods in ethical factories using deadstock materials. With big sustainability goals and full transparency on their progress, we are turning to Ref time and again for all our favorite pieces.
5. Sézane
Price Range | $215–$250
For beautiful loafers with a nostalgic, old world feel, Sézane’s loafers are it. Inspired by Parisian style, these loafers are both chic and conscious. The leather is vegetable-tanned, and each pair is responsibly crafted in Portugal. Sézane’s sustainable too, incorporating more than 75 percent natural materials in its supply chain and using renewable energy at its workshops.
6. Vivaia
Price Range | $89–$110
Vivaia is a newer brand entering the sustainable fashion scene, and we’re into it. Using recycled plastic, 3D technology, and even bio-based materials like sugarcane, the loafers here look straight out of a video game (in the best way!). We love the pixelated looks, affordable price point, and eco-friendly packaging! Plus, their shoes adapt to every foot shape, from A–EE. Girlies with concerns like arch height, toe lengths, or even bunions rejoice! This brand takes your needs to heart. (Did we mention that many of these shoes are machine washable?)
7. ABLE
Price Range | $128
ABLE loafers come with cute hardware details like goald chains and rhinestone buckles —a fun design choice for anyone who’s into bling! These loafers are also responsibly made, offering employment to women around the world who are paid fair wages. Even the leather is thoughtfully sourced, as byproducts of the leather industry.
8. ALOHAS
Price Range | €90–€250
ALOHAS loafers are both fashionable and nostalgic (at least from the ‘90s!). Fairly made in Spain with thoughtfully sourced materials, we’re big fans of these styles that are perfect for work or play! Like all ALOHAS shoes, the chunky loafers are available in small batches to meet demand without adding waste, and pre-orders come with sizable discounts of up to 30 percent off.
9. Beklina
Price Range | $270–$290
Loafer mules? Mule loafers? However you see it, we love Beklina’s slip-on penny loafers. Available in gorgeously rich colors (off-white, black, and parsley—yum!), these will effortlessly add a bit of oomph to any outfit. Designed with a leather stacked heel and treads, they’re also comfortable and durable enough for any walk. All are fairly produced in Peru.
10. Everlane
Price Range | $130–$200
Everlane‘s loafers are a timeless staple that will seamlessly blend into any wardrobe. Made from sustainable natural materials like Leather Working Group certified leathers and all natural rubber, these loafers are extremely comfortable and, if you trust the great reviews, instantly wearable (no break-in period!? Sign us up!).
