Our collection of men’s loafers
Developed at the turn of the 20th century and made famous by American college students, men’s loafers remain extremely popular to this day. Light, comfortable and classic in design, these are the leisure shoes par excellence. Over the past few decades, loafers have also become a crucial component of business attire.
Since its invention in America at the start of the 20th century , the loafer has been a firm favourite in men’s footwear fashion. Originally designed to be worn by college students, men’s loafers quickly gained popularity among men of all ages, thanks to their comfortable, lightweight feel, as well as the fact that they are easy to put on and take off. Loafers are classic leisure shoes, perfect for the gentleman who prizes comfortable footwear that is easy to put on. In the US, loafers have been a popular officewear choice for decades, a style preference that has been spreading to Germany as well.
Men’s loafers are considered offshoots of the moccasin
Since loafers do not feature lacing or any other type of closure, you can effortlessly slip them on. Widely considered an offshoot of the moccasin, loafers also feature a shaft that extends along the bottom of the foot and connects to a vamp insert at the top. Unlike the famous »Native American shoe«, however, the loafer features a separate outsole as well as a heel.
The two types of men’s loafers that are probably the best known are the tassel and penny loafer, both of which were created in the US. The tassel loafer is known for featuring a leather cord threaded around the shaft and ending in two striking tassels at the instep. On the other hand, penny loafers, or the truly classic types of loafers, feature a distinctive instep bridge.
