Your support makes all the difference.If, like Barbie, you have retired your heels and chosen to embrace a life with flat feet, there’s just one style of shoe that should be on your wish list: loafers.
Practical and super cool, the versatile shoe has become the latest obsession for those in the know, with one supermodel in particular cementing them as a mainstay on the fashion circuit and in wardrobes everywhere.
A firm favourite of Hailey Bieber, the fashion guru has been spotted wearing multiple pairs of loafers in recent months and has a few that she sports again and again. The model repeatedly wears luxury loafers by Prada (£920, Prada.com) and Eytys (£415, Farfetch.com), proving their versatility by sporting them year-round with everything from denim shorts to wide-leg trousers, mini skirts and even LBDs. But, while choosing to invest in a designer pair is wise considering the cost-per-wear, we’re here to reveal that you can now get your feet in a pair of Bieber go-to loafers for less than £100.
