Gucci loafers

Luxury Italian footwear

Gucci loafers are slip-on leather shoes made by the Italian luxury brand Gucci, typically featuring the company's signature horsebit hardware across the vamp.

The style, introduced in the 1950s, became a status symbol associated with wealth and preppy fashion: He showed up in Gucci loafers and no socks.

The term sometimes appears generically for any expensive-looking loafer with similar styling.
