M&S trending autumn loafers reduced to £29 in special offer

Marks & Spencer shoppers are flocking to the site to snap up a pair of trendy loafers for their autumn wardrobes. The Patent Flat Penny Loafers usually retail for £38, but right now the retailer has slashed the price to £29 as part of a 'special offer'.

Design and availability

The slip-on patent loafers offer a smart look for everyday, whether you're pairing them with some tailored trousers and a blouse for the office, or jeans and a jumper at the weekend. Available in both black and burgundy, they have a round toe, flat sole, and classic penny slot at the front.

Sizes range from 3 to 8 with some half sizes and wide fit options available too. Shoppers have rated the loafers 3.9/5 stars overall, with one positive review reading: "Great quality, love the look and style. Pairs perfectly with any outfit."

Shopper feedback

Another pleased shopper said: "Great quality. Nice product, solid design. Love them! More colours, please!"

However, some shoppers have mentioned being disappointed by the quality. This is evident in one review which reads: "I love these shoes but this is the second pair I have bought in three months because the sole of the shoe keeps coming away."

"This pair I have just bought has already begun to fall away and will require attention." So this might be something for shoppers to keep in mind.

Alternative options

Alternatively, Boden has reduced its Classic Penny Loafers from £119 down to £59.50 at half price in the end of season sale. Available in three colours: red, dark navy, and tan, they're made from a 'hardwearing but supple leather'.

Sizes range from 36 to 42 however stock varies depending on the colour. Boden recommend pairing the penny loafers with some turn-up jeans to show off the intricate stitches and textured detailing.

Or, for something a little different, shoppers can currently bag a £50 discount on a pair of classic UGG boots for autumn and winter. The Women's Classic Micro Boot in shade 'dense smoke' have been cut from £130 down to £77.99, saving 40%.

If you prefer brown, Schuh have also reduced the same boots in shade 'rocky oak' from £130 down to £104.99. The classic micro boot is the perfect slip-on shoe for everyday wear, whether you're running errands, walking the dog, or nipping out for a coffee.

With a genuine suede upper and 'mega-soft' sheepskin lining, the boots help to naturally regulate temperature. A lightweight sugarcane EVA outsole means they're not too heavy on the foot, and adds to their 'slipper feeling', according to the brand.
