My weekend mornings are spent at the playground with my toddler. In the summertime, it was easy to find a flip flop or a slide that was appropriate and went with my uniform of relaxed pants and a crew neck. The cooler temps have made it challenging to find a shoe that would be playground appropriate. Sneakers are easy, but I prefer a more polished look and my Gucci loafers wouldn’t fare well in the woodchips. I considered Sambas and Birkenstock Boston clogs, but neither felt like me. Enter: the knit loafer. I think this is the fine line between casual and refined that I was looking for, and the fact that they are machine washable is an added bonus.
