Moccasins and Loafers

Moccasins and loafers – slip-on shoes that add a touch of style without making an outfit look too formal. Dr. Martens and Birkenstocks, in leather, with flat soles and platform soles.

Moccasins and loafers at RunColors

Loafers are shoes without laces, which in recent years have made the transition from formal wear to everyday wear. At RunColors, we favour styles with a bolder character: the Dr. Martens Adrian and Penton, with their yellow stitching and thick soles, and the Birkenstock Naples on a classic cork footbed. These are shoes for the transitional seasons – more comfortable than low-cut shoes, yet more smart than sneakers.

Dr. Martens – Adrian and the platform styles

Adrian is a recognisable Dr. Martens loafer family, with tasselled versions and a distinctive sole. Compare standard and more substantial sole options, upper materials and stitching details. Leather can soften with wear, but the feel and break-in period depend on the specific version.

Birkenstock and all-day comfort

The Birkenstock Naples is a loafer built on the anatomical insole for which the brand is renowned – featuring arch support and a heel cup. It is the most comfortable option in this category, ideal for people who spend all day on their feet but don’t want to compromise on a smart look.

What to wear with loafers

They look best with trousers cropped to reveal the ankle or just the edge of the shoe – paired with straight-leg trousers, chinos and a midi dress. On cooler days, they work well with a thicker sock worn over the top. These are shoes for spring and autumn; for winter, it’s better to opt for jodhpur boots or combat boots.
