These Selena Gomez-approved Loafers Are Actually the Most Comfortable Walking Shoes — and They’re Just $60

When given the chance, I’ll always choose sneakers over flats (I don't think I've worn a pair of flats in at least five years). And, like many millennials, I have plenty of blister-scorned memories associated with ballet flats, mules, and loafers. But, that didn’t stop me from giving the Aldo Baberiel Lug Sole Loafers, which are on rare sale, a try — even despite my not-so-great track record. If you were to ask me why, I’d probably say it’s because the lug soles are trendy and different from anything in my closet, but the real reason is because Selena Gomez has them.  

Gomez's stamp of approval wasn't enough to make me forget all of the blisters that I've suffered in the past, so I admit that I was nervous to give the Aldo Baberiel Lug Sole Loafers a test run during a recent outing (without breaking them in). But, even right out of the box, they were impressively more comfortable than other flats I've worn in the past. Heck, they're even more comfortable than some of the sneakers that I usually wear.

They have well-cushioned midsoles, which hug your feet in all of the right places and provide ample support. The Aldo Baberiel Loafers' lug soles also give the shoes a surprising bounce to them while creating a stable foundation for each step to land. This trendy design also lends itself in the traction category; this made them feel even more supportive while giving me the confidence to walk up and down a hilly driveway and slick tiled department store floors. 

Unlike most flats, especially ones with synthetic uppers, the Aldo Baberiel Lug Sole Loafers didn't rub against my ankles or the sides of my feet. In fact, they're shockingly roomy for loafers, which have a reputation for being narrow and unkind to wide feet. But, I'm happy to report that they didn't give me blisters and I was able to wear them for five hours comfortably without having to take them off.

Gomez and I are fans of the white Baberiel Loafers, which are nearly 35 percent off at Aldo and starting to sell out, but the shoes also come in patent black and classic black. However, whichever color you choose, you'll be amazed with how many outfits you can get out of them. They're incredibly sleek and versatile, and look great with jeans, trousers, skirts, dresses, and really anything that you're planning on wearing this fall. 

I love that they're easy to dress up and down, which is good news if you're packing for a trip that calls for numerous outfit changes. And, since they're so comfortable, the Aldo Baberiel Lug Sole Loafers can be worn on long travel days so you can free up some luggage space. You can slip in and out of them at the TSA line and when you get settled into your plane seat, too. 

You won't be disappointed with the effortlessly cool Aldo Baberiel Lug Sole Loafers, especially if you get them at nearly 35 percent off. Keep scrolling for other comfy loafers that will help you copy Gomez's off-duty look on your next trip.
