Today: The softest loafers we’ve ever encountered. Plus …
These loafers are comfortable straight out of the box |

| Marki Williams/NYT Wirecutter |
These classic, no-frills loafers will never go out of style, even when trends change. They’re handmade from Italian leather, and unlike other blister-inducing shoes, they feel as comfortable as your favorite bedroom slippers — just about a million times more fashionable.
Yes, they’re pricey, but editor Jennifer Hunter says they’re worth every penny: “My oxblood loafers are now three years old, and I think they look better today than on the day I opened the box.”

Plus: A (much cheaper) shoe we love for fall |

When we began testing these under-$100 flats, we braced ourselves for some cut corners — but we were pleasantly surprised by their high-end look, superb stitching, and buttery-soft feel. We’re especially fond of the subtle square toe and beautifully handwoven design, which look good with just about anything.

In the store: A very, very good knife |
 |
| Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter |
A welcome addition to any basic collection of kitchen knives. All-purpose chef’s knives can sometimes be a bit clunky for vegetable prep. But this shorter, squatter, lightweight Nakiri knife makes it easier to cut onions or to chiffonade napa cabbage — the thin, tapered blade effortlessly slices right through.

Your daily deal: A dish scrubber fit for a knight |
 |
| Knapp Made |
This chainmail dishcloth feels drapey in the hand, and it works wonders on gunk stuck to cast iron, glass, carbon steel, and other nonscratch surfaces. Plus, it rinses off spotless without any odors — but if crud happens to get stuck, it’s also dishwasher-safe.
