Gucci Brixton Loafers vs Sam Edelman Loafers (In-Depth Comparison)

I had the same debate as you and ended up buying the SA instead of the Gucci ones… best decision ever! The are so comfortable when I walk, and they look literally the same when you wear them. Also, they both inevitably will chip/wear/etc and you would have to get them re soled, painted or repaired… so the cost of maintaining them is better for the Sam Edelman ones.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes, the Sam Edelman ones will be low maintenance! 😉

[@yessi-h]

The backs of those Gucci are meant to give the option to fold down like a slipper so that’s why they are wrinkled. I think you meant to buy the other style.

[@kbaut2579]

Yes, I was going to say the same thing! You can fold the backs down to wear the loafers as mules.

[@tinaerardi3893]

Yes you’re right. The back is always wrinkled right off the bat. The leather is a bit softer and “ worked” in back so they fold down better. I prefer the Gucci Princeton mules.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes I’m aware the soft backs are meant to be folded down if you want to wear them as mules. However the ones that I saw on display at the stores did not have wrinkles like this. I believe these were worn previously and then returned. I will try again.

[@tinaerardi3893]

@@hellocatwalkcity they do look extra wrinkled. It’s frustrating when you can’t find what you want in store and are forced to order online. Quality control is definitely getting more difficult. Also, the concept of the convertible style is nice but it’s definitely a “look”. I feel better in the Princetown mule, which seems more elongating.

[@sfjayhawk5810]

The shoes will wrinkle. If you’re looking for shoes that won’t, I’d steer clear from leather.

[@pattorelli3451]

I like the Sam Edelmans on you. They are more feminine looking and seem to fit your feet better. Plus it makes more sense to go with the less expensive pair since you don’t know how much you will wear them.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thank you! I do like the slimmer silhouette on the Sam Edelmans. But I had high hopes for the Gucci ones!

[@kristak1102]

Definitely try the size 38. My Gucci loafers stretched out and conformed to my feet. I went with the 37 vs 37.5 because the heel was slipping out with the 37.5. I find the wrinkles a sign of high quality leather. It doesn’t bother me. 😊

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thank you! I will definitely try the size 38! The wrinkles do bother me because I didn’t see any wrinkles on the loafers that were on display in the stores. I know it will wrinkle with wear but I don’t love that they came out of the box that way.

[@kristak1102]

@@hellocatwalkcity they definitely shouldn’t come wrinkled but they eventually will. Mine aren’t bad, I keep them stuffed when not in use. 😉

[@littleluxuries_01]

Coach does an amazing pair of loafers which look the same as these - they’re super soft and comfy! 😊

[@kbaut2579]

I love loafers! They are exactly what you said, polished. They are a more polished alternative to sneakers with jeans or sandals/flats with a dress. I think you will love them!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes, definitely pulls the look together!

[@Byfabiolas]

Wow I’m surprised how much I like the Gucci ones better 😭 I was so ready to say I like the slimmer look of the SE ones but I like that the Gucci ones land higher up on the foot.

[@magnoliarose5910]

I love loafers, and I particularly love all my Gucci loafers! I have wide feet. I think it is polished but comfortable look. As others have mentioned, the Brixton back is supposed to be supple in case you wanted to convert to mule. I’m personally team Gucci but that is also because they work for me so well. In fact, I think I will wear a pair today!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

So funny I was never a loafers girl until now! I can see why so many people wear them. They definitely pull an outfit together. I’m going to try the Gucci ones in a half size down and see how they fit. These are too loose and clearly not in new condition. The wrinkles really took me aback because the ones I saw in store on display looked so much nicer.

[@whogivesaluxe_yt]

Try the Gucci Jordaan Loafer- this style doesn’t fold down in the back like the version you bought…

[@dianamccarthy2377]

The Sam Edelman loafers look prettier and more feminine. I have them in a similar style that they made a few years ago without any hardware and I love them so much I ended up getting a backup pair! I love loafers and I’ve tried/own quite a few different ones, these are high up on my faves list.

[@ot7stan207]

I just got mine and oh my god these are great looking shoes

[@ot7stan207]

do the hardware move around? mine does but it doesnt bother me too much

[@ms_jadah]

Can you fold the back down to wear the as mules?

[@claudiacervantes5379]

On the Gucci ones… get the 8. I promise they will stretch a bit and fit perfect. I also wear a thin lace no show sock and it stops the farting noise. Maybe try wearing a pair with the 8.5 Gucci pair and they will help with the slipping. Lol I love my Gucci loafers. I have the Sam Edelman ones too and I love those as well. But the Gucci ones definitely elevate a look. I have the Gucci ones in the pink color and the Sam Edelman in black and red.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thank you! Many people are saying to try the size 8, so I will do that! Stay tuned!

[@claudiacervantes5379]

@@hellocatwalkcity can’t wait to see! Also if you’re wanting a more structured loafer… try the Jordan’s not the Brixton. They look just like the Brixton but with a more solid heel like the Sam Edelman. So less heel wrinkles. Hehe… ☺️😉

[@kennedymonroe]

Loafers are great for the smart and preppy look. 🤓😎🤩

[@haiji1996]

It's interesting and encouraging to know that shoes made in China can be validated by someone as picky about luxury items as you. I bought a bag that looks exactly like a Hermes Bolide but made in China, and about one-one hundredth of the Hermes price, but actually, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two! I like the design of the Bolide bag but I don't think it's worth paying such a high price for a plain, simple looking bag (although I do really like the design). I think your video proves that we are paying an extreme premium just for the brand name, when the same quality can be attained by a much lower price point.

[@tunails]

I am so curious about this video….I got the Cole Haan sneakers after you mentioned it and I love them….I am considering the SA loafers for quite some time now so this video is just on time

[@hellocatwalkcity]

So glad you’re enjoying the Cole Haan sneakers! Aren’t they amazing? 😊

[@hesterprynne5965]

You should try the Gucci Jordaan loafers instead. I wasn't planning on wearing the backs folded down, so I prefer the stiffer shape of the Jordaans. They are one of my best purchases--I can walk miles in them. Return the Brixtons and get the Jordaans.

[@ErikaJadeLives]

Exactly! I have those and SE. The Gucci ones are soo much nicer! I just wear the other ones occasionally just to give the Gucci a break.

[@eenie-meanie]

I bought the Sam eldemen for work, didn’t think in would like loafers. I wear then everywhere now lol so comfy and look put together instantly

[@juliel4096]

I have the Gucci loafers and they are comfortable. I use no show socks with all my shoes (not sandals, of course). This style of Gucci is a loafer that can also be worn as.a mule….It’s a preference. Like buying a designer sneaker vs contemporary brand. It’s what you’re comfortable with.

[@discod]

I love the Sam Edelman loafers on you. Totally get you on the narrow feet issue!

[@giyah6038]

The Gucci Jordaan loafers don’t fold down on the heals but they are much more structured and will definitely grip your heals. I’ve had them for several years, they are true to size. The Sam Edelman ones are good for every-day wear in NYC, and I would suggest swapping the Gucci ones to the Jordaan styles.

[@andreacoppolecchia4452]

Old man shoes and farting feet! 😂😂😂 The SE look great on you. I have had my Gucci loafers for a few years now. I wear them so much I’ve had them resoled once already. Definitely feel like I’ve gotten my cost per wear. Been wanting to get another pair, but might try the SE - I like the idea of the cushioning. Thanks for the in depth review!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Farting shoes are a no no! 😂 But I hear sizing down may help so I will try that. So good to know that you’ve had yours for years and they’re holding up well!

[@hlstlcop]

Team Gucci here! They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

[@StyledByGwenny]

WOW the Gucci's arrived quickly! Being wide of foot, I'd be happy to swap with you any day of the week, Hannah! Most brands only cater for narrow feet so I tend to get excited about something only to not be able to get it on! They both look great on you, but I do prefer the Gucci, the leather is fabulous quality which is why you're getting that little wrinkle straight off. LOVE THEM! TFS, I really enjoyed this, especially because you were sceptical going in! 🤗💕

[@yanacardillo1271]

I have 2 pairs of Sam Edelman loafers, they are very comfortable and look great with jeans and blazer, or white button down shirt. I also walk a lot and use orthotics for extra cushion/arch support if I plan to wear them all day. Also I only buy designer shoes for formal wear, tough to justify the price if they will get destroyed by cobblestone in a month:)

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I agree they make a casual look more polished! Thank you for sharing!

[@litsa0628]

Get the Gucci loafers in a 1/2 size smaller because they will stretch since the leather is so soft. Also wear a no show footie sock for comfort and to eliminate noises. You might like the Jordaan a little better than the Brixton too if you feel the leather for this style is too soft. The leather back of the Brixton is meant to fold down so that you can wear them like a mule. I have a pair of Jordaan and Princetown. The leather wrinkles but that’s normal because of the softness.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I think these were quite soft because they were worn and stretched out. They don’t look new to me. I will definitely try the 1/2 size down! Thank you!

I can walk around the city in them and not get blisters. Quality is great (as you know Cole Haan quality is superb). I think you’ll love them. All my Gucci shoes need breaking in. The Cole Haan loafers don’t need time to break in. Thanks for the review view. You’re always detailed and provide helpful information.

If you end up liking and keeping them I think you’d also love the toasted coconut, knowing you love that type of color as much as I do. BTW, both the Guccis and the SEs have collapsible backs (where the seams are) so, if you choose to, you can wear them kind of like mules. I don’t bc I don’t want to ruin the shoes but that’s probably why the backs of the Guccis are wrinkled. It looks to me like someone tried them on that way

[@sandys4509]

Thank you for this. I have tried and bought both, and then returned both. I am kind of like you that i am super picky with shoes. They have to be really comfortable. I think I generally don't like loafers but because they do look a bit dressier than white sneakers, I tend to "make" myself consider them whenever I want something other than sneakers. But, because my feet have been so spoiled by comfy sneakers, and because those loafers look just a bit nicer but not amazing (in my opinion), I tend to reach out for sneakers and forget about them. That is why I returned them shortly i bought them because I didn't bother to wear them. If you do want to change your outfit a bit, I would think Sam Edelman is the better option because they are indeed comfortable, and the look is very similar, and they are way less expensive. I don't think Gucci would look good if after some wears because the leather seems to be easily distressed.

I totally understand what you mean about spoiling our feet with comfy sneakers! I feel the same way! But yes, I’d also like to change up my look once in a while besides boots and sandals so I’ll give these loafers a try. 😉

I have Paul Green ones, and it’s so comfortable! Give it a try if you have chance. :)))

[@marthaayalew2505]

The gucci loafer looks much better in my opinion BUT I can't afford them! Lol

[@rondee2446]

LOL, the Gucci Brixton loafer is supposed to have a collapsible heel counter. You can wear them either way. That is the idea.+

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes but it shouldn’t be collapsed already and creased when they’re a new pair. Anyway, this is an old video and I returned these Gucci loafers and ordered a new pair and they’re perfect. Came in brand new condition like they’re supposed to.

Thank you for making this video. I love (!!) the Gucci Brixton loafers I have (so comfy, lux) but was wondering how the Sam Edleman loafers compared. In reality, the Sam loafers are a total knock-off of the Gucci Brixton because of the horsebit and that will always be the killer for me. I just cannot walk around in something that’s pretending to be something else. I live in a major city and walk to/from work, basically 90% of where I go day to day I go is on foot. The Brixtons will wrinkle but age really well.

The Sam Edelmans actually look alot nicer I like the slimmer look

[@1821femina]

I like the Sam Edelman. They have a slimmer look and are feminine.

[@gpaton9643]

Team Sam Edelman all the way!

[@marianamogos6801]

Hermes loafers are very, very comfortable

[@bagsandlifestyle]

I think the Sam Edelman loafers look better on your feet

[@Iffy2009]

The gucci ones look like dupes of the Sam edelman's.

[@BananaAna-hw8wi]

😳 why do those gucci loafers look so worn?!?! That’s a lot of wrinkles in the heel area almost like someone stepped on them…strange

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Unfortunately I think they were worn previously and then returned. Not only wrinkles but quite stretched out. I’m going to try again but will order directly from Gucci this time. This pair was from Bloomingdales online. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@BananaAna-hw8wi]

@@hellocatwalkcity I agree with you that’s what it looks like…I can’t believe people would do that..I wouldn’t have the heart to send back something I’ve worn to that extent…

[@Eileen62h]

I doubt they were worn. Maybe tried on but the sole scuffs really easily so they’d be scuffed if worn. Also brixton style are super super soft so look like that really easily. The Jordaan style I think would be better for you because they’re stiffer leather. Big sizing too. Size down to the 38
