- care warning
- Skip wax polish on the croc-embossed surface because it collects in the crevices and dulls the pattern
- care storage
- Air dry away from direct heat if wet, and keep shoe trees in them between wears

- buying check
- Check for consistent stitching between the welt and outsole; inconsistent stitching can signal a cosmetic glued welt

A loafer for daily outfits, styled casual or smart
Per TikTok posts under #adrianloafer, wearers style these loafers in everyday outfits ranging from casual (jeans with a tee) to smart (suit trousers and blazer). According to Esquire's author, they have become a fixture in daily-outfit posts from influencers of every size. Some wearers also share memes about breaking them in, so expect a wear-in period to be part of the experience.[3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Adrian Croc Leather Tassel Loafers Men: Choose this for a stylish, versatile men's loafer featuring a deep burgundy faux-croc leather upper and distinctive fringed tassels. The Goodyear welt construction provides durability and a padded leather footbed, which may contrast with reported sizing advice suggesting a Women's size eight fits perfectly.[1,2,3,4] | Adrian Ambassador Tassel And Fringe Loafers Men: Choose this if you want a black tassel-and-fringe loafer in Dr. Martens' tumbled, pebble-grain Ambassador leather, built with Goodyear welted construction, a SoftWair cushioned footbed, and a wear-resistant, anti-slip AirWair air-cushion outsole. Be aware the slip-on design has no laces to adjust the fit, and the opening is described as very tight and narrow, with some buyers reporting tightness across the instep or forefoot even in their normal size. Sizing needs care: the listed sizes are whole sizes 7 to 12 with no half sizes, and some buyers suggest sizing down because the loafers can run large.[5,6,7,8,9,10,11] | Adrian Snaffle Kiltie Loafers Men: Choose this if you want a polished tassel kiltie loafer built on Dr. Martens' durable Polished Smooth leather, with a high-shine finish you can polish to keep looking new. It features Goodyear welted construction, a padded footbed, and a wear-resistant, anti-slip grooved outsole with an AirWair air cushion, plus layered tassels, kiltie fringe, and a metal snaffle strap over the vamp in a rounded-toe silhouette. Note that as a laceless loafer, one wearer found they slip and were a struggle to put on before breaking in, suggesting downsizing if slipping bothers you, and the listed sizes run 7 through 12.[7,12,13,14,15,16,17] |

Sizing advice for Adrian tassel loafers
Omg I totally forgot that I posted this! If you’re still debating and you have the same size foot as me, go for size 8 US in Women’s! I took a gamble on those and they fit perfectly.
