The most LAIDBACK iteration of a classic loafer

Person wearing white pants and brown loafers on a textured blue floor.
Pair of black loafers with 'MARGAUX' branding on a beige background

By design, loafers are polished: Elegant, classic, and intended to be worn in settings that require just a bit of a buttoned-up attitude. The most effortless take, though, comes in a mule iteration. Business in the front and party in the back, it's a slide that works for the office and everywhere else.

These shoes are STUNNING!🤩

"I love these so much I immediately purchased them in the ivory leather as well. So well made, classic, beautiful. They are perfect in every way. Not sure why some are saying they run narrow. I definitely did not find them narrow at all. True to size and stunningly gorgeous! Love them so much."

— Danielle B. (5/5)

Adorable but. . .

"I love Margaux shoes and have many pairs. The only complaint is that the shoes run narrow both in the width of the foot and in the ankle. It is the only designer brand that I need to order a wide size. And the shoes I have returned is because even the wide is too narrow."

— Elena P. (3/5)

Runs small

"Pretty shoe but unfortunately had to return because the sizing was off. I’m usually between a 39 and 39. 5 so ordered the 39. 5 but it was still too short"

— Gina P. (3/5)

Wow!

"This was my first Margaux purchase so I wasn’t sure what to expect. This shoe was referred by an influencer so I knew they were going to be good but I didn’t know they were going to be this good. This loafer is a beautiful chocolate brown and omg I was not expecting them to be this cushiony and comfortable! They feel like walking in my own personal foot clouds. The older I get the more important comfort has become and I love that I didn’t have to give up a trendy beautiful look for comfort!"

— Amy S. (5/5)

"They arent very comfortable to walk in"

— Pamela (1/5)

Great shoe

"really nice quality shoe, but ran short and on the narrow side. I returned it but did not order the next size up, I felt it was narrow across the toes."

— Lisa R. (3/5)

Walking on Water

"These shoes are so comfortable and look great with whatever wearing. . the brown slides work with all Fall colors"

— Ros M. (3/5)

Another great pair in size 4

"Finding this site is a godsend! Having a small foot and finding a site that has great shoes and great quality. Love them!"

— Dianna K. (5/5)

So comfy

"Nice shoe- super soft. I got half size up and wide and they’re good"

— Leslie A. (5/5)

Mules The Astor

"I was very excited for these shoes, they are gorgeous. However, I guess it takes time to break them out cause everytime I use them its painful. I’ve gotten blisters everytime in the sole of my ankle and my toes I was gonna return but unfortunately I only found out after using them so I had to purchase an insole to help my feet with friction and slipping."

— Eva C. (4/5)
