Loafers have been acceptable footwear for some time now, in various forms. Backless, patent and furry, they've been keeping our soles happy for the last two years.

They go with jeans; they go with work pants. They don't really go with skirts - that's going a bit too Marcy from Married With Children. But you can skip around all day in them, safe in the knowledge that your feet are being cared for and you're on trend at the same time. Just don't jump in any puddles.
