Is $165 a good price for these loafers?

It is the only new price found, $165 at Marc Nolan as of November 4, 2026, with no other store listing it new. Without competing listings there is no discount to judge against, so compare it to similar leather bit loafers.

They are listed in standard D width with a full leather lining and memory foam insole. Leather loafers usually break in slightly, so pick your usual dress-shoe size unless you wear thick socks.

Are the soles good for wet or slippery ground?

The lightweight EVA lug soles are made for grip, which suits pavement and light rain better than smooth leather soles. EVA is softer and wears faster than rubber, so avoid heavy daily wear on rough ground.

Can I wear them with a suit?

The lug sole and chestnut-and-white color make them more smart-casual than formal. They work with chinos, denim and unstructured blazers; for a dark business suit, a solid-color leather-soled loafer is safer.

The listing covers the pair of loafers only, with no shoe trees or bags mentioned. Order shoe trees separately if you want to keep the leather shape between wears.
