I’ve got two pairs on Italian got them on holiday, Italian leather handmade horsebit loafers.

I do recommend penny loafers from Grant Stone, reasonable price and good quality.

It’s personal preference really what style you like. I heard some one suggestion buy cheap when you start out, terrible advice. Always buy quality when buying shoes even if it means the extra money. Better to get a great quality shoe than a cheap one.
