Marks & Spencer’s brown suede loafers were a sell-out success. In fact, we never even saw them available online – that’s how fast they sold out. 

We have been patiently waiting for weeks on end for M&S to restock its popular flat shoes, which are a huge trend and have been for some time. 

Now, the moment has finally come. Well, kind of.

Though the brown suede version of the M&S Loafers are still sold out, M&S has released a pair of black Leather Loafers, which we believe will sell out soon. 

The M&S Leather Loafers are hot property, and we have seen them worn by the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber in previous years.  The fashion firm turned to chunky Prada loafers, but now we are seeing a pivot to softer alternatives. 

The leather loafers are a smart, chic and versatile footwear staple to invest in. These loafers are made from black, yet super soft and high quality leather fabric, while the interior is fitted with M&S’ signature Insolia Flex material to support the footbed, which is paramount in a flat shoe when stopping the pavements for hours on end. 

These leather loafers are a flat shoe, but it offers slight elevation with its 1.5cm heel, which is oh-so subtle. 

These slip-on shoes feature ruched detail around the toe, as well as detailing on the roof of the foot to resemble the traditional Penny Loafer.

The classic designs are ultra versatile, as you can wear in the daytime, or night, as well as throughout the seasons. Pair with straight leg jeans, even ankle grazers, whether it’s barefoot or with a white ankle sock peering out for extra warmth, a simple T-shirt and blazer to see you from the office, to brunch with friends. 

You can layer on a cosy knitted jumper, swap the T-shirt for a shirt, maybe ditch the trousers for a mini or midi-length skirt, or a dress – the style options are endless.  

These loafers are available in sizes 3 to 8, including half sizes, though customers say these shoes fit true to size. 

We have added these loafers to our virtual basket because we think they will fly off the shelves, especially when we consider how popular the brown suede alternatives are, and the glowing reviews. 

One happy M&S shopper, Kay Ann, shared: ‘Lovely loafers that are both stylish and comfortable, and work for casual or office days, I have two pairs they are that fab.’

Another happy customer, who goes under the name Mummy Deb, added: ‘A super super soft leather shoe, it’s like wearing slippers. Only worn inside the house to wear them in. But it seems all good. No rubbing and looks quite stylish.’

While a  separate shopper, RoseeW, weighed in: ‘So comfy and soft- I usually prepare to get blisters when I wear-in loafers but these have caused no issues! So smart- my new everyday shoe.’

Complete the quiet luxury look, on a high street budget, with M&S’ impressive collection of designer-inspired handbags too.
