Loafers

Quince's women's loafers span Italian leather, suede, and washable knit styles across penny, horsebit, driver, lug-sole, and slipper loafer silhouettes. Penny loafers carry a small slot across the vamp, while horsebit loafers feature a metal hardware detail. Driver loafers have a soft moccasin construction with a rubber-stud sole for everyday slip-on wear. Lug-sole loafers add a chunky rubber outsole, and slipper loafers feature a collapsible heel for a mule-style fit.

A penny loafer has a small slot or saddle across the vamp (historically held a penny). A horsebit loafer carries a small metal bit across the vamp — a polished, equestrian-inspired detail. A driver loafer has a flexible moccasin upper and rubber-stud sole, originally designed for driving and now worn as a soft everyday slipper-loafer.

Italian leather loafers run true to size and ease with wear as the leather softens. Suede styles fit similarly but the upper has more give from day one. Washable knit drivers fit closer to the foot like a sock — some customers size up a half. Each product page lists size-specific guidance.

Penny loafers, horsebit loafers, and almond-toe styles lean polished and suit office, work-from-anywhere, and dinner looks. Driver loafers, slipper loafers, and washable knits are softer and more casual — built for weekends, travel days, and warm-weather wear. Lug-sole loafers add a heavier sole that bridges both.

For leather, wipe with a damp cloth after each wear and condition every few months with a leather balm. For suede, brush with a suede brush after each wear and apply a suede protector spray seasonally. The washable knit drivers and almond-toe styles can be cleaned in the wash. Air-dry all styles away from direct sun.

Most loafers are not waterproof — Italian leather and suede styles are vulnerable to water marks. The washable knit drivers can handle a quick wash after damp wear. For all leather and suede styles, treat with a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged wet conditions.
