Comfort
Loafers offer just as much comfort as sneakers while giving off a more polished appearance. Finding the appropriate pair for your wardrobe should not be difficult: leather is highly breathable and helps prevent sweaty feet that lead to blisters. Also important: flexible soles enable long walks/stands/standing sessions and make walking and standing easy if worn sockless! Just ensure the leather is supple enough not to rub against your feet!
