Jordaan Bit Loafer

The loafers are even better in person! The color is beautiful and universal enough to wear with almost anything. I was concerned about the size. I own a pair of Gucci slides which are 39.5 but 39 in this style worked really well. For reference, I'm a US 8.5 and 39 in most European brands.

I am so in love with the Jordaan loafers! I started out with the Princetown mules, then the Brixton loafers and finally the Jordaan, which is the hands down best of all. First off, let me say that the leather is every bit as soft and comfortable as the Brixton, with the only difference being the fold down heel section, which I will frankly never fold down on the Brixtons. I had "heard" that the Jordaan heel is "too stiff." Nope. It just isn't "baggy" like the Brixtons, but it is in no way stiff or uncomfortable. I have narrow feet which hate most shoes nowadays in terms of comfort. These Jordaans are absolutely perfect in every way and the most comfortable shoe I've even worn right out of the box. Now if only I can find more colors because I am addicted to these.

I'd been lusting after these shoes for over a year, but I have wide feet (size 6D) and had read many reviews that suggested they'd be too narrow and stiff for me. But Gucci Princetowns (the backless, mule version of this shoe, which I have in size 37) are my favorite and most comfortable shoe I own, so I decided to give them a try. Typically I can get away with wearing "standard width" shoes in a half size up, so I initially ordered these online in size 36.5. They were soooo soft and comfortable on my feet, but my left heel slipped out when I walked. I was concerned that size 36 would be too small though and was unsure what to do, so I brought them in to my local store and had a sales associate in the shoe department have a look and give a recommendation. He said they definitely were too large, and ordered them in 36 for me. They were initially a bit of a struggle to put on...I definitely recommend using a shoehorn so you don't damage the heels...but once my feet were inside, it was clear that they were not only the right size lengthwise, but they also felt so soft and accommodating of my wide toe box! Walking around in them a bit on carpet made that even clearer. I was still nervous the first time I wore them out of my home, thinking they might disappoint me like so many shoes have (where they initially seem to fit, but wearing them on an outing results in blisters), but these just seemed to mold perfectly to my feet as I ran my errands that day, and I came home with zero blisters or hot spots! I am utterly delighted with these shoes and so glad I finally gave them a chance -- not only do my feet feel fantastic in them, but they actually make my feet appear narrower, and they have such a classic, timeless look. For my fellow wide footed sisters, I highly recommend checking out Gucci shoes -- I own quite a few styles now (Princetowns, Ace sneakers, Marmont loafers, two styles of sandals, and now these Jordaans), and I have been so pleasantly surprised at how wide foot friendly they are.

I have been wearing Gucci Loafers since my teens, they always look great and are made with such high-quality materials that they never seem to wear out. I was apprehensive about trying this new unframed version, but am so happy I did. They are made of the same wonderful materials as the original and from the first wearing they have been extremely comfortable. They go with skirts as well as pants and I feel stylish and classic at the same time. I am always between a 6.5M - 7M, I ordered the 7M and they fit perfect with or without socks. The red is amazing, but I think these will be beautiful in any color.

Looking at this shoe online I didn’t see any femininity about them but I changed my mind as soon as I took the out of the box. They are cute. They run large on the length but not on the width. I got the 9 1/2 and I have about an extra inch in the toe. But these are comfortable and classy. They will elevate any look for sure.

I finally decided to spring for a beautiful long lasting shoe based on reviews. The shoe I received was clearly worn and returned. Box was damaged. Shoes in clear plastic bags! I didn’t even bother walking in them. Nordstrom needs to do better! $920 for used shoes. No, thank you!

I tried a few different sizes in the Gucci Brixton loafers, and I seemed to fall in between sizes so they didn't work for me. These, the Jordaan loafer, worked great, though, and they are so lovely on. I usually wear a 5.5 or a 6 in most shoes, though I tend toward the smaller side. I ordered these in a 5.5 US (35.5 EU) and they are just right. (For extra reference, I have a pair of Gucci mules in a 6/36). Anyway, my Jordaans and not too tight, definitely not too loose -- like they were made for me. I am glad I kept trying and found Gucci loafers that worked. I hope to have these for a long time.

Very nice looking shoe, but runs large. I wear an 8-8.5, and I have a narrower heel. I ordered the 38. It was too long and too wide at the heel. I tried a “no show” footie, but that did not help. I had to return.

I have a few different pairs of the Gucci Jordaan loafers and this was a major sale...under $300 so I had to snatch the Navy. Order one size up. Great quality - will last a lifetime.

While I love the look and comfort of my Brixton loafers, the leather is not my favorite--it's buttery but so soft that it almost feels delicate. It took the sturdier leather on the Jordaan loafers a few more wears to adjust to my wide feet, but it was well worth the time and minimal pain. The Jordaans feel sturdier and seem like they will handle wear and tear better than the Brixtons. The only downside to these shoes is that the two-piece insole separates a little more easily than that in of the Brixton.

I finally pulled the trigger on these after I saved up a few Nordstrom notes. I ordered my regular size 37 and they were definitely hard to get on. They are quite long and narrow. I have super high arches in my feet so that didn’t make things easier. I thought about returning them but I had them stretched at the Nordstrom store and all the sales associates who had these shoes assured me that they were difficult to break in but they are the best shoes ever. I’m going to keep them and hope they are right!

I originally ordered the Brixton. Because the shoes arrived in defective (insole wrinkled and glue exposed) condition, as well as IMO looked somewhat cheap, I chose to order the Jordaan instead. It was the best decision for me. The Jordaan is a gorgeous and expensive looking loafer. While it seems to run pretty true to size, it does run narrow. Because I like to have a bit more toe room, I ordered half a size up (11-1/2). If you are unsure about size the best bet is to go into a store if possible. I have 2 pairs of Gucci Princetowns and knew what size would be best for me. This shoe also has a beautiful and sturdy leather that is still very soft and I have no doubt will patina beautifully through the years. Overall, if you are going to spend the $900+ for a loafer, go with the one that will stand the test of time. Lastly, I am wearing them for the first time today and while many reviewers have stated the leather soles were slippery, I find it to be quite the opposite having walked on cement, marble flooring and carpet. Since I own other shoes with leather soles, I know to be more conscious of my steps until the soles have scuffed enough to grip. Happy shopping!
