I got a pair of Gucci horse bit loafer last year. I did not go with the 1953 after trying both on and found the non-1953 to fit my slightly wider feet better. The sole is also thicker than the 1953 version and structurally maintain their shape better. I love my pair as it is the OG. Even though the price is on the high side but I believe once I get the OG, I don't need anything else and it will save me money in the long run. As for how to style them, I figure if you are wearing a pair of OG Gucci Horse Bit loafers, nothing else matter even if you wear them with suits or shorts. Haha.
I heard that Gucci will resole their own shoes for free as long as you can show (1) a receipt/proof you bought the loafers from an authorized retailer and (2) haven’t had them previously resoled by another cobbler. Worth to check by email. 2ndly, you can put topy covers on sole at local cobbler and don't worry about wear of sole for 2-3 years. If you want the brown one, check Carmina Horsbit XIM. I have black Carmina and brown Gucci - both colors covered for less. And lastly, it Blake construction, not Goodyear
I got them second and also got the same design from G.H bass brand new... they're nice shoes and wouldn't judge anyone for spending that much, however I prefer the Larson pair over Gucci
