It’s Always Loafer Season

Hi there,

As M.Gemi’s Head of Brand, I have A LOT of our shoes, and the pairs I reach for the most are loafers. They’re just as comfortable and versatile as sneakers, but they have the advantage of a little extra polish. You might think a loafer is a loafer, but each pair I have serves a slightly different purpose in my wardrobe—it’s like having a collection of different denim silhouettes!

I ordered my first pair in 2023 and they still look good as new...not for a lack of wearing.

It's hard to pick a favorite M.Gemi shoe, but The Sacca Donna is up there. No matter where I'm traveling, it always ends up in my suitcase. At home, it's always the shoe I slip on when I'm running out the door and want to look put together. I've walked tens of thousands of steps in them, and they're as comfortable right out of the box as they are years later.

Maria probably wouldn’t co-sign this tip, but I wear The Sacca Donna Lattice half a size up for a loose, slipper-like fit that I can slip on and off, even as my feet swell in the Miami heat.

Take my favorite shoe and make it in a lattice-cut suede? Say less. I live in Miami, so I love the airiness, texture, and casual twist the lattice adds to this classic style. I bought Oatmeal last year and regretted not getting more colors before they sold out in my size. I ordered Luggage as soon as we dropped it this year.

I went with Black for my first pair, but I’m thinking of scooping up Ecru while it’s back in stock (for now).

I just got The Una Loafer ahead of a conference I attended. The sleek design, smooth leather, and modern silhouette gave me the polish I wanted PLUS the comfort I know and love about The Una flat (read the reviews). I walked over 10k steps my first time wearing them—also in the Miami heat—and wasn’t disappointed.

I never thought drivers would be in my shoe rotation, but I get why The Felize is our all-time bestseller.

I own The Felize in 4… 5... (who’s counting anyway?) colors—and that’s not including my Felize Mules (I’m eyeing Blue Rain on pre-order). I always have a pair around my house to slip on or to run quick errands, and I do truly love driving in them.

Ciao!
