Men's loafers include leather loafers, boat shoes, crepe sole loafers, and suede loafers.
The men's leather loafer is worn with chinos or dress trousers; the laced boat shoe Sebago goes with shorts or rolled-up jeans, and Ecco makes soft versions for walking.
The Sebago Dan and Classic Dan loafers, made of leather, from the American brand born in Maine, lead the selection, along with the Sebago Dan Lug loafers with a rugged sole. The loafers Sebago can be worn with or without socks depending on the season.
The Sebago Docksides Portland boat shoes, made of leather, and the Sebago Ranger Waxy boat shoes, made of waxed leather, are laced and hold the foot for long walks: the men's boat shoe goes from the beach to the terrace.
The Ecco Turn loafers, from the Danish brand, the Clarks Torhill loafers, from the British brand, and the Geox loafers, from the Italian breathable shoe brand, complete the comfortable men's loafer, for the city and the office.
The Pikolinos loafers, from the Elche leather specialist brand, the Blackstone and Bugatti loafers and the Toms Alonso espadrille loafers, with a rope sole, broaden the choice: the summer loafer is worn barefoot.
With chinos or ankle-length suit trousers, invisible socks in the summer; with raw jeans and solid socks in mid-season. The black or dark brown smooth leather loafer dresses up a suit, while the suede or rugged-soled loafer is kept for the weekend: the dressed loafer is chosen smooth.
The loafers also include women's models, from platform loafers to Ilse Jacobsen loafers: the boat shoe is found in both selections.
The brown loafer, in smooth leather or suede, goes well with navy blue, beige and grey; black matches suits and dark outfits; beige and off-white are worn in summer with linen trousers. A brown boat shoe is worn with a twill short just like with chinos, and the waxed leather is revived with a clear wax. The burgundy loafer, rarer, adds a splash of colour to a sober outfit in grey or navy blue, with matching socks. For summer, a beige or light blue suede loafer goes well with linen trousers or shorts, barefoot, with invisible socks.
The men's suede loafers, softer than smooth leather, are worn with rolled-up chinos and invisible socks. The tassel loafer, adorned with two leather pom-poms on top, is slightly dressier and is worn with a light suit for a summer wedding. The beige or brown loafers go well with navy blue and white; the black loafer is reserved for dark outfits.
Cheap men's loafers can be found in the men's clearance, and the men's new arrivals show the season's models. At the end of November, the Black Friday men lowers the prices of Sebago loafers and boat shoes. Fast delivery and best price guaranteed.
Your usual size, rather fitted: leather stretches when worn and a loafers that's too wide slips at the heel. American models are sometimes indicated in US sizes: check the correspondence on the product sheet.
Without, with invisible socks in summer and with shorts; with fine, solid socks in mid-season and at the office. The matching sock to the trousers elongates the leg.
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth, let dry away from heat and nourish it with a cream of its colour. Waxed leather models, like the Sebago Ranger Waxy, are revived with clear wax.
The smooth leather loafer slips on easily and suits a casual office; the derby, with laces, is dressier with a suit. For a single purchase, the black smooth leather loafer does both.
Wear them for a few hours at home with fine socks to soften the leather, and protect the heel with a plaster if needed. The leather will form to your foot after a few wears.
