The only reason I didn't grab them is that I already have a few too many black loafery shoes right now and not enough time to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-semi-chunky-black-loafers#post-1736388 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 21:57:22 +0000 Chris987 1736388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that shoe shopping is challenging ! . I rarely find ones I want to try on in stores, even in Nordstrom, Lord&amp;Taylor etc so I've gotten used to the idea of ordering online&nbsp;and having to return a lot. I do have several malls within&nbsp; a 45 minute drive so that makes the returns reasonable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-semi-chunky-black-loafers#post-1736356 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 20:29:39 +0000 viva 1736356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Chris. I think this might be a real challenge item. Finding just the right amount of chunk may be easier said than done. Maybe it's worth waiting until I can actually walk into a good shoe dept. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-semi-chunky-black-loafers#post-1736352 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 20:11:42 +0000 Chris987 1736352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried those via spigas in grey suede. LOVE this brand, they just ooze quality, but these were a bit too chunky and menswear for my taste but that might have been partly due to the grey color. You might like them. I went up 1/2 size and they were a little too big, so fit is true to size. I almost bought the "amica" &nbsp;model (find below) , but ended up returning them because the sole was just a smidge too unsupportive and I was trying too hard to like them. More of a classic loafer, not too chunky.&nbsp; Also a beautiful shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-semi-chunky-black-loafers#post-1736313 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 18:31:37 +0000 viva 1736313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for these great solutions! Opening up this thread was like coming to my own special loafer store. &lt;3&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, I think I am going to try the Halogens. I really want some kind of interesting platformy sole, and if I had the budget I would try the SWs for sure (maybe in the silver!) but in the absence of that, the Halogens look great. I love how the chunky sole is balanced by a pointy toe. Now, to choose from all the many color variations! That will be hard.</p> <p>Thank you again for your help. </p> <p>Also wondering about these. Has anyone tried them? Not black, but the ink color would work in my wardrobe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-semi-chunky-black-loafers#post-1736224 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 13:43:41 +0000 citygirldc 1736224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.clarksusa.com/us/womens/womens-flats/griffin-milly-black-leather/p/26101101">http://www.clarksusa.com/us/wo.....p/26101101</a>&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>I just got a pair from Clarkes outlet which look very similar to the Clarkes Milly.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-semi-chunky-black-loafers#post-1736103 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 04:09:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1736103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Munro has come out with a pair that looks good to me. Haven't seen them yet IRL, and the Nordstrom site suggests they don't run quite true to size--a bummer, because Munros are usually so consistent across most styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-semi-chunky-black-loafers#post-1735934 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 20:48:16 +0000 Aquamarine 1735934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Pedestrienne...I ordered my usual size and a size up. The size up was way too big and loose. My usual size was a bit tight on one foot, but it has stretched out just fine. I do have narrow feet, especially a narrow heel, so these might not work for wide feet.</p> <p>Not sure about half sizes at all retailers, but Online Shoes is showing a 9.5 and whole sizes after that. Hope that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-semi-chunky-black-loafers#post-1735913 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 20:01:48 +0000 Chris987 1735913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz and Diana, so sorry for you guys, loafers often DO work for me although flats do not. </p> <p></p> <p>Suz now I get why you have so many pairs of ankle boots, between fit issues and your cold climate. </p> <p></p> <p>Tossing in a few more from my finds...have not ordered any of these so can't give reviews...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-semi-chunky-black-loafers#post-1735891 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 19:39:54 +0000 Diana 1735891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, me too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-semi-chunky-black-loafers#post-1735883 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 19:27:45 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1735883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes, should have known better than to go onto Yoox!
