Ready for the real deal? Get bang for your buck with the Gucci Brixton Convertible Loafer, which can be worn two ways thanks to a fold-down heel.
There's nothing like the real thing. If you've thought long and hard and you know that designer loafers are what your heart and closet desire most, get the Gucci Brixton Convertible Loafers.
Yes, these are the shoes you've seen on celebrities' feet. They're a lot more wearable than the brand's fur-lined mules, plus you get more bang for your buck thanks to a fold-down convertible heel. It's like you're getting two shoes for the price of one. Which is awesome because, at $730, these are not cheap.
When you consider that you're basically getting a loafer and a slip-on mule, the price-tag becomes slightly less intimidating. It's like a BOGO sale, Gucci edition! OK, maybe not.
These shoes will match almost everything you own and the supple leather will age like a fine wine. "Thought about purchasing a pair for about a year. Best thing I've bought in some time. They are beyond comfortable, the leather is so soft, and they make every outfit better," wrote one Nordstrom customer.
Overall, the loafers have almost a 5-star rating on Nordstrom's website based on more than 150 reviews. They've been featured by Racked, InStyle, WhoWhatWear, and Rank and Style.
WhoWhatWear's Allyson Payer put it succinctly: "I could've gotten 15 pairs of shoes for what these two [Gucci] pairs cost, but the price per wear must be miraculously low at this point."
Pros: Convertible, made of soft leather, classic and timeless
Cons: Very pricey
