Hi - I have put Foot Petals "Ball-of-foot Cushion Insoles" in all of my Princetowns and only wear them with half/mule socks - all purchased on Amazon. I cannot recommend these enough! I have crazy soft skin on my feet and get blisters from almost every shoe - but not these. I urge you to try. The insoles will help you keep them on and the socks will protect your feet, keep them dry and preserve your beautiful new shoes. [emoji4]
I have been using foot bandeaux for the last week, and they help reduce friction. The shoes are breaking in so that helps too, although I should just try half socks that cover the whole front of the foot so they slide around less. I'll look into the foot pedals.
I wish Gucci will make these mules with a 1 1/2"-2" mid stock heel, I can't wear flats at all. It's the only thing that stopping me from buying
I cannot wear flats either and these have just enough heel to be very comfortable! Try on before you pass.
quick question for jordaan loafer owners:
were they initially difficult to put on? I am not sure if it's me or what, but these shoes are sooo difficult to put on! it doesn't help that I'm 37 weeks pregnant either.
I'm hoping with time they will give a little. I tried the next half size up as well and it just seemed like there was too much space all around and not the "neat" fit I prefer.
let me know if you found the jordaans to give a little with time. thanks!

I can't wear flats either, I have high insteps and walk straight out of most ballerina types or slippers. The Princetowns are basically the mule version of the 1970 loafer style Jordaans, both of which have just a little heel and are based on the same last. Have a look at the Peytons too, they come in 3 heel height variations, and of course the fringed loafers (if you you can do fringes) which come gold or black ATM and have a mid block heel.
I have the Jordaan embroidered mules/slippers and love them. It took a little while for me to break them in, but now they're quite comfortable and have become my go-to dressy summer flat. I've ordered the Jordaan loafers in the same pattern and am curious to see how they fit given the posts above. I also have the Gucci "frame" loafers -- so comfortable. Gucci makes fantastic loafers, I plan on buying at least two more pairs this season.
Aren't they gorgeous? I have the same pair of slippers as well as the black leather. The embroidered pair is my almost daily go to pair. I didn't really have to break them in but maybe that's because I went up a full size.
I've noticed that a lot of bloggers have the Roses Princetowns! I saw them for myself the other day and they are super pretty and cute, but I think it was better for my wardrobe to get the plain black first. If I had extra $$$ and another 1-2 months of warm weather I would get them, but considering how long it has taken me to break in my black pair, I don't know if I can do it all over again. However I'm happy to report that I walked 10 km in my Princetowns a few days ago and although my feet were tired, I didn't have any blisters or anything like that.
My Jordaan loafers in the embroidered pattern arrived last week, so that's one pair down.
I will be in Milan in two weeks and then again in Italy for 10 days in December (Milan and Bologna), so I will wait and look at the loafers shown in the Gucci stores there. I'm hoping for a seasonal release in an interesting color, like plum or blue. Esp plum. I recently bought a pair of suede slip-on sneakers from Prada in plum and it's a color that goes great with black, grey and even some shades of brown.
I'm still wanting to get a pair of the slingback ones! No site of them here in Aus though so might have to wait til I am in Japan in 2 months time. Meanwhile I keep eyeing the rose princetowns and think those plus the slingbacks would be my perfect collection!

Sounds dreamy! I can only imagine what interesting colours and variations are available internationally. I feel that we are super limited in Canada.
I love the look of the slingbacks but have never seen them in person! And I'm sure they are more secure on the foot although the tight fit ensures these stay secure. But I agree, slingbacks + roses sound perfect.
