Men's and women's loafers include leather loafers, boat shoes, suede loafers, and chunky-soled loafers.
The loafer slips on without laces; the boat shoe, which has laces, fits the foot better for long walks, like the Sebago Docksides, and the chunky-soled loafer from Steve Madden pairs well with a pleated skirt.
The moccasins Sebago, from the American brand founded in Maine, are led by the Dan and Classic Dan leather moccasins, with the Dan Lug moccasins featuring a cleated sole. The leather moccasin pairs well with chinos, raw jeans, or suit trousers.
The men's boat shoes Sebago Docksides, in leather, are available in a Portland version, and the Sebago Ranger Waxy boat shoes are made from waxed leather. The Clarks Torhill boat shoes, from the British brand, complete the selection.
The women’s moccasins Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk Tulip are alongside the moccasins Buffalo, with platform soles and several vegan options, and the moccasins Steve Madden Harloe. The platform moccasin adds a few centimetres without a heel, and the loafer with a buckle or chain dresses up a pair of jeans.
For walking all day, the moccasins Geox use the breathable technology of the Italian brand, the moccasins Clarks Wallabee feature a crepe sole, and the moccasins Pikolinos Azores are made from leather from the Elche brand. The moccasins Camper, from the Majorca brand, and the moccasins Ecco Turn, from the Danish brand, complete the range of comfortable moccasins.
In the warmer months, the moccasins Toms take over with the Toms Alonso Loafer Rope espadrilles, featuring a rope sole, that keep the style of a moccasin. This summer moccasin is worn barefoot with shorts or linen trousers.
The men's moccasins revolve around Sebago, with the Dan moccasins and the Docksides boat shoes, as well as Clarks and Ecco. The women's moccasins focus on Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk, Buffalo and Steve Madden, from suede moccasins to platform loafers.
The brown moccasin goes well with beige chinos, raw jeans or grey flannel trousers; the black is reserved for smarter outfits. The suede moccasin, softer, is worn in spring and dry weather. The platform moccasin, with a thick cleated sole, adds height and a more fashionable look; the heeled moccasin is worn with a midi skirt.
Cheap moccasins can be found in the discounted shoes, and the new shoes show the latest arrivals. At the end of November, the Black Friday shoes lowers the prices of Sebago moccasins and boat shoes. Fast delivery and best price guaranteed.
Invisible socks that stop below the ankle give the barefoot look while protecting the leather from sweat. The moccasin without socks is paired with ankle-length or rolled-up trousers.
The moccasin slips on without laces and has a dressier shape. The boat shoe is laced, often with a leather lace, allowing for adjustment: it's the more practical of the two for a long day of walking.
Yes, leather softens and conforms to the foot over time. When trying them on, the leather moccasin should hold the heel without being tight: if it’s too loose right from the start, it will slip later.
Clean the leather with a damp cloth, let it dry away from heat, then nourish it with a cream of the same colour. The leather boat shoes, like the Sebago Ranger Waxy, can be revitalised with a colourless wax.
A smooth leather moccasin, black or dark brown, pairs well with a suit or dress trousers. Suede models or those with a cleated sole, like the Sebago Dan Lug moccasins, are better suited for casual outfits: in the office, the dressed moccasin in smooth leather is a must.
