Can anyone comment on the wear and tear/fragility as well as the comfort of the velvet princetown mules (without the fur)?

I’m contemplating the blue GG velvet princetowns or the classic black leather princetowns. I love them both!

Which would you guys choose?

The only other pair of loafers I have are the jordaans in red leather. And I do live in a rainy city so I realize the princetowns aren’t super practical but I just love the look and ease of slipping them on.

Thanks for any insight anyone has!

I've got a pair of the velvet Jordaan loafers & they've held up very well so far. I like that they don't show creasing like my leather mules did right away. They are extremely comfortable and softened to my foot after about 2 days of wear. I live in a rainy climate and haven't had any notable issues with them being more fragile than my leather mules.

Hope this helps!

Yes this is very helpful thanks! I was wondering about the creasing as well as my leather jordaans are quite creased too. Good to know velvet holds up well. Have you ever been caught in a light drizzle with them? Did they leave any water marks?

Thanks again!

Hey there,

I have a pair of Jordaans and ordered some Princetowns without fur for rotation.

Do you need shoe trees for them just like with the Jordaans?
Is it okay to wear them without socks? Or are they going to get disgusting due to bacteria buildup?

Nah... just use the paper packing they stuff the shoes with when you purchase. If you already have shoe trees, cool, if not, you will be fine with the paper they stuff in the shoe. I do, and store them back in the Gucci box.
I wear with socks and without for over 3 years and I wear mine often... no problems yet.

Great then I‘ll probably stuff them with the paper and wear them sockless. Can‘t wait, love my Jordaans and expect to love the Princetowns too.

When storing... stuff with paper, it keeps the creases and lumps at bay. Do both... get a cool pair of Gucci socks and also wear your Jordaans and Princetowns barefooted. Variety is the spice of life... and get a pair with the fur... you won't regret it.

I was debating paying more for the fur but ultimately decided against it. I don't like the look enough to justify 200 Euro more and I don't like that the fur probably touches the ground all the time. They look great though, definitely an eye catcher.

I have the Princetown mule in Gold and I love it, especially this color. I’m now debating a black pair and can’t decide between black with Fur or black with embroidered gold bee . Any thoughts? I’m in my 50’s and wear tailored clothing mainly.
