Sperrys are more common. It'd be tough to pull off, but you can certainly try.
I have some Sperry moccasins that I wear with no socks and shorts. It seems to work for me.

I've also seen it done with bit loafers. Also, make sure you're white and look waspy (i.e. no jew fro). The look you're going for can really only be pulled off by very white people, just saying...
Plenty of this in the south.
Certainly better than shorts with socks and loafers.
I am not white and I pull this regularly. Penny loafers, bit loafers, driving mocs, Sperrys, even tassel loafers (if you even own those monstrosities) without socks is a classic look.
As a rule of thumb, unless you're playing sports you oughtn't to be wearing socks with shorts. i.e. The masses walking around in low-cut socks with Vans and cargoes on need to learn how to dress like an adult.
As far as I'm concerned, the only way to wear shorts unless you're going to the gym is with sockless Sperry's or Tod's. I prefer the latter.
Shorts with sockless loafers is a great summer look (also much cooler than wearing socks). Its more about colour and what your shorts / rest of what you're wearing looks like than the brand of the shoe. Make sure your shorts are more fitted and not supper baggy with cargo pockets as your shoes won't be as bulky as the sneakers you might be used to wearing with shorts.
As for the type of shoes, it could work easily with driving shoes, boat shoes or most slip-ons that don't have massive heels (materials don't matter either, suede, leather, etc...). I usually wear driving shoes when wearing shorts but boat shoes work as well. Converse high tops work with shorts also, but are a more urban look.
Make sure you don't wear the same pair two days in a row and use a shoe tree once they've dried after wearing. This is good advice generally, but is particularly important if you're going sockless as the shoes are in direct contact with your feet.
Note: You don't need to be "white" or "Waspy" or any other stereotype to wear sockless shoes with shorts. Anyone can do it and its a look you see all over Europe, Latin America and Asia. I've even seen people in NYC pull it off with brogues and lace ups (although its much more of a fashion statement)...
+1 to tod's, driving loafers, casual loafers etc - most flies as long as not too formal
I wear driving loafers with shorts and no socks at the beach club every weekend, typical look there although most guys wear boat shoes
What else would you be wearing with shorts...?
Loafers, espadrilles, boat shoes, drivers, hell if you're confident enough get some bright colored bucks. All of these work with shorts as long as colors aren't clashing (e.g. black loafers with khaki shorts).
Barney - that was my question exactly. I'm buying some new shit and was browsing style forum and some other nonsense and the look was getting torn apart. I think it's pretty legit, so I wanted to check here as opposed to getting the hipsters' opinions on rocking sweet keds with torn jean shorts on those sites. I have some of the Sperry Gold Cup topsiders (here On sale!) but wanted some penny loafers and didn't know if nice Ferragamo's/Prada were too "elite"/asshole looking.
What kind of Ferragamos and Prada's were you thinking of? Most work well depending on what you pair them with.

I was thinking something like this
Prada
to Boot
these
Just fucking with you on the last one.
You should be able to get a good sense of what type of shoes/shorts/outfit combinations work. Like if your buying cargo shorts, then obviously loafers would not work with that etc...
