There is something incredibly satisfying about a loafer that does not require a breaking-in period. These are handmade in Italy from a remarkably soft patent leather that moulds to your foot instantly. Because they are completely unlined, you get a glove-like fit right out of the box, avoiding that stiff, blister-inducing structure typical of traditional patent shoes. The design strikes a brilliant balance between classic charm and modern grit. The high-shine finish gives them a sharp, polished look, while the chunky rubber lug sole adds a bit of tough, practical grounding. It is a silhouette built for pounding London pavements without sacrificing your outfit. Style them with cropped wool trousers and a trench coat for the office, or throw them on with a silk slip dress and an oversized knit when the weekend rolls around. They are designed to keep up with you from early coffee runs to late-night dinners.
