I have the mules if that helps you; I'm a size 8 but sized up and I think they look very feminine and pretty. ( in hindsight I don't think I should have sized up since they did stretch even with pretty minimal wear).
Eta I can't find the photo of me wearing them now in my phone, but I posted it in the what shoe are you wearing today thread.

I am a size 10 and have them in the deerskin leather and I wouldn't say they look very feminine. I also have the black classic Gucci loafers and I feel like they give the same look.
What color are your deerskin shoes?
My mules are a pale blue so maybe color plays a factor?
I got the cream colored ones. The blue ones sound so pretty!

Thank you they are so pretty but such a delicate color. Your cream ones sound very classy and pretty
I have these loafers in light pink. They're very comfortable to me and I think they look feminine. I specifically purchased them to pair with Zimmermann style dresses for when I plan to walk a lot and want to look feminine yet be comfortable. I thought they'd get dirty real fast, but so far they've been holding up well. I wipe them with a dry paper towel after wear just to remove the dust from walking
Where are you guys finding them? The website says none of them are available. I do have one pair that I bought at a boutique a couple years ago, but I don't have one near me & haven't had any luck from the website
Wow I'm really surprised they're sold out everywhere... I got mine three years ago, back then they were easily available in all colors and sizes.
If you decide to get a pair, and you prefer lighter colours but you're worried about wear, I highly recommend getting the

I got it for my new Open Walks in Frozen Blue, and the spray is incredible. I tested a small section of the shoe with a tablespoon of water, and the water just beaded and rolled right off the suede!

Gucci make two major styles of loafers, the original 1953 has a rounder toe and was originally made for men. There are still variations of these for men and women including drivers (flexible, grippy soles). The 70s last (Jordaan classic '70s and hard heel cradle, Brixton, collapsible/soft heel cradle, Princetown, original 1970s slipper re-marketed AW2015) looks sleeker with an almond toe-line. Most classic versions of a Gucci loafer have a leather sole which can be resoled time after time.
Even though they are called Summer Charms Walk Loafers (possibly for search engines or because everyone calls all slip-ons 'loafers') the Lord Piana Charms are a hybrid variation of deck shoe (sometimes called a boat shoe) and a loafer combined. LP often centre their designs on elite sports themes, and this version of a shoe wearable on vacation/on board a yacht with rubber, non-slip sole that won't slip on water. These can't be resoled.
IMO, the classic Jordaan is a more elegant shoe in any size rather than the more chunky and casual LP Summer Charms WL.
