You’ve probably seen them over and over again on your Instagram feed recently, with influencers and celebrities such as Emili Sindlev, Sara Waiste, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid all being spotted in a pair of the coveted shoes.

Gucci, Dior and Chanel also have their own iterations of the timeless shoe this season, so you’ll be in good company.

Loafers, £45.99, Zara – buy now
Zara’s pair offer a chunky sole and gold hardware details. We expect these to sell out this season.
Chunky Heel Loafers, £59.99, H&M – buy now
I love H&M’s new loafers with ultra-chunky heels. They’re a premium piece, but so much more affordable than the designer option.
Loafers, £95, & Other Stories – buy now
Our favourite high-street store has done it again. These shoes are slick, stylish and look almost identical to the Prada pair. They’re still an investment, but they’ll last for years and if price per wear means anything, you’ll definitely get your money’s worth.

Prefer patent shoes? On top of over 300 styles of loafers they have listed on their site is this ultra-affordable shiny pair.

Chunky-Sole Leather Loafers, £150, Arket – buy now
You can always trust Arket to pull it out the bag. These are leather, but come with a statement rubber sole for height and comfort. They come up a little big, so size down if you’re in between sizes.
Chunky-sole Loafers, £285, Ganni – buy now
If you’re looking for an in-between price point, Ganni has a pair of chunky loafers that have just dropped. These offer a similar look to Prada’s, but aren’t quite as pricey.
