Hi,
We say that a kohen is not supposed to perform birchat kohanim (duchening) in shoes, because we are concerned that he might need to tie or fix a lace, and his hands are supposed to be clean for this ritual. That might lead one to suggest that a kohen could perform birchat kohanim in loafers, which lack laces, but the "no shoes" rule is implemented across the board, and so loafers are not permitted.
(Rivivot Ephraim 1:94:4)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
