    when gucci did like 25 different versions of the horsebit loafer in 2013 (the loafer's 60th birthday), i bought a few pairs at around $530 apiece, which felt like fair value for an extremely iconic designer shoe. honestly I think they only charge so much more now bc they can, since the brand became so hot under alessandro michele. while i completely agree that they're overpriced now, personally i wouldn't want any other horsebit loafer (with all due respect to ferragamo, carmina, et al). i've since bought several more pairs secondhand in very nice shape for $250 or less and i highly recommend going that route

    i really love the silhouette of G.H bass co loafers but the only issue i have with them, is that when the outsoles becoming beat up. you can’t wear them when it raining. the waters would really go inside of your feet. worst part is that their insoles leaves a stains to you feet especially if you’re wearing socks.

    My pair of B&Ws were fortunately very comfy straight from the jump (helps that I accidentally ordered a half size too large lol). But! When shoes are a bit too tight, check out this article I wrote on breaking in leather shoes. Hopefully that helps you to stretch out the shoe a little bit to accommodate insoles! www.gq.com/story/how-to-break-in-leather-shoes - Gerald
