Need help choosing cheap loafers

I’m looking to buy some cheap loafers. I don’t want to buy a “real” pair of Morjas or B&W or Vinnys or whatever because I honestly have no idea if I’ll like the style. I’ve found GH Bass Weejuns and Polo Ralph Lauren Alstons both at $105 thanks to BF sales. I keep hearing that weejuns always look cheap and fall apart easily. But I haven’t found any good reviews about the PLR shoes. What do you guys think I should get? Is there another brand I should consider?

if you're willing to go on ebay and have access to allen edmonds, get sized in-store and then buy a cheap pair online/at thrift

Yah i was gonna recommend weejuns off ebay, they can be had for super cheap You are right they dont look great but they generally look good enough

^ I grabbed a pair of GH bass loafers for $35 shipped a few months back, they’re not the “best” but to try the styling they’re totally sufficient

Interesting suggestions, thanks! I wish I could get sized for weejuns but can’t find any store in DC that sells them and has them in stock Getting AE’s secondhand isn’t a bad idea

From my experience weejuns fit true to size

interesting. I've seen a few posts saying go down 1.5-2 sizes down 😬

I actually need to size up a half size in Weejuns 😅

I’ve got a couple Weejuns, they’re the same size as all of my loafers (and most of my derbies).
