Why We Love Loafers
8/23/2022
The loafer is a forever classic and ours are the comfiest. Keep reading to find out why we love loafers.
Loafers are basically the closest you’ll get to wearing slippers to the office. Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen a lot of you retiring your heels for a more comfortable option like a flat shoe. Whether you’re headed to a formal event, the office or after-work drinks, the loafer is a forever classic. The loafer is a timeless staple that’s super comfy so that you can wear them on repeat.
Coffee date with friends? Sightseeing in Paris? Heading back to the office? You’ll be thankful you wore your loafers. The secret ingredient to our loafers is our biomechanical footbed, A.K.A. the comfiest footbed you’ll ever wear. This little bed of goodness provides maximum support while you feel like you're walking on a cloud. Each consciously-curved bump is designed to improve leg alignment and aid foot function.
Here are a few of our favourite loafers you’ll definitely be thankful you added to your rotation.
ABOVE: Hummingbird Black
Hummingbird
Finding the right loafers can be tricky, especially when you're looking for a style investment that's classic and timeless, but still chic. Ticking all three boxes, our black Hummingbird has been crafted from vegetable tanned leather, meaning that we use only natural materials in the tanning process of this leather.
All our loafers have been crafted from leather from LWG certified tanneries, with high environmental compliance practices overseen by the LWG. This also means that that'll age beautifully with time and wear.
Slip them on with jeans, tailored pants or mini skirts. If you're after a loafer with a little more character then opt for our two-tone design.
ABOVE: Curassow Ecru
Curassow
Curassow are the real MVP of our loafer collection! They have become a fan fave for good reason. These loafers have been crafted from pebbled leather and set on chunky wood stacked heel - major trend alert! Curassow features a chic square toe that elongates and flatters the leg.
Wear them with everything from cropped pants to dresses. Be sure to grab yourself a pair before it’s too late.
ABOVE: Hawk Tan Suede
Hawk
Penny loafers are a classic footwear style for many reasons - not only do they nail that tricky smart-casual dress code, but they're versatile and comfortable, too. Hawk is a penny loafer that's a modern-day take on the original design - they feel sleeker and a little more streamlined.
Crafted from smooth leather, they have a wood stacked heel and traditional split strap, that by the '30s, were large enough to hold a coin (the more you know!). Style yours with a button-down shirt and tailored pants.
ABOVE: Phoenix Pink
Phoenix
Our Phoenix loafer is a true classic - they’re the ultimate slip-on-and-go style requiring minimal effort. They're made from smooth leather from LWG certified tanneries with tonal stitching, leather tassels and rubber soles for plenty of traction.
Wear yours with tailoring and dresses alike.
ABOVE: Duckling Black
Duckling
Our new Duckling loafers are cut, worked and sewn by hand in Brazil. Available in black and ecru, there’s a hue to suit every mood. They are as practical as they are chic so you can wear them on rotation.
The leather lining means you can wear them all day comfortably without socks - yes, please!
