Coffee Break: Loraine Loafer

Readers have loved the Loraine loafer from Sam Edelman for several years now, and I'm somehow still shocked by the huge number of colors available for it right now — I count 26 different colors available at Nordstrom right now, 35 at Zappos, and 48 at SamEdelman.com! Animal prints are big for fall, and while this particular print is usually not my jam, something about it with these loafers feels super chic and cool.

This particular iteration is available in sizes 5-11, but many of the other colors are available in sizes 4-13 in both medium and wide sizes. Nordstrom has several colors on sale for as low as $59; the pictured loafers are full price at $170.

As of 2025, some of our favorite loafers for work are from Sam Edelman, Everlane, and Madewell. If you want something more classic, readers love Sperry and Ferragamo; if you want comfort, Vionic and Naturalizer have options. Meanwhile, if you want something a bit more feminine or slouchy, the Tory Burch loafers are all really highly rated at Nordstrom (especially this “ballet loafer“)!
