Are these Globe Castro loafers unisex and can they stand winter weather?

Asked by xTheDreamer (897points) July 25th, 2011

I’ve seen these Globe Castro shoes http://mediacdn.shopatron.com/media/mfg/537/option_image/x2_afabfa1e92d19a17badef3eed442086c_797984_120813.jpg?1307615224 http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/15/7/AAAAAm7CpD8AAAAAABV4Zg.jpg?v=1164751851000 around and I thought they’re very cool looking, it’s like a mix between a modern moccasins and loafers.

I wanted to buy it but can women wear it too or is it just for men?
Also would it be able to stand winter weather? Since I’m going to live in the Netherlands next month I wanted to check if it can or can’t.

I don’t think these would fare very well in winter weather, you might want to look into investing in a pair of nice boots.
As for whether or not they are unisex, I say wear what you like. Half of the shoes in my closet were purchased in the little boys’ shoe aisle. The shoe you have in the picture is very neutral, you could certainly wear it if you like it.

I bet you could find a better option for winter although I do like them. I just don’t know how well they would keep your feet warm. I’d say nice boots as well.

I think it’s unisex enough but I agree with the other posters; shoes like this are more summer shoes than winter ones. They would certainly not be rain-proof.
