FAQ — Quick answers I hear most from viewers and friends Q: Can I wear loafers with skirts in a corporate office?
A: Absolutely. A sleek loafer with a midi pencil skirt reads modern-professional. Pointed and low-heeled styles are especially versatile.

Q: Are washable shoes like Rothy’s suitable for formal meetings?
A: Yes. The key is silhouette and finish — a pointed knit in a neutral color looks polished even if the material is casual.

Q: How long should a quality loafer last?
A: With regular care, full-grain leather loafers can last 3–7 years; brands with resoling options can last much longer.

Q: Should I choose a lug sole or leather sole?
A: Choose lug or rubber if you commute often or need grip; pick leather for formal floors and traditional boardrooms.
