A very elegant choice for formal occasions, with the tuxedo or evening jacket. Like an opera pump but without the bow, making it clean and classy. Blake stitched construction with a combined leather-rubber sole, properly build up with leather lining and leather board heel stiffener that conforms to your feet, so they'll be comfortable also late into the night.
A quite unique model which we've been developing together with the Spanish brand Yanko. Made on the same almond shaped toe last as our Belgian loafers from Yanko.
Small in size, see sizing guidance below. To get the best possible fit on loafers, who don't have lacing that can be adjusted, a good tip can be to use self-adhesive leather tongue pads. Works perfect if you for example experience heel slippage, and extra good if you have a low instep. Also if you have slim feet a thin leather insole can be excellent.
Construction:
Blake stitched.
Sole:
Leather-rubber sole. Heel height 22 mm (7/8").
Sizes:
These are, as our Belgian loafers, considered small in size compared to for example Goodyear welted shoes from Yanko, Skolyx, TLB Mallorca, Crockett & Jones and Carmina's sizes.
In general, the following apply:
- If you have a size EU41 / UK7 / US8 or below in welted shoes, then most people choose 0.5 size larger in their slippers and Belgian loafers with thin half rubber sole.
- If you are between size EU41,5 / UK7,5 / US8,5 and EU45 / UK11 / US12 in welted shoes, then most people choose 1 size bigger in their slippers and Belgian loafers with thin half rubber sole.
- If you are size EU45,5 / UK11,5 / US12,5 or above in welted shoes, then most people choose 1,5 size bigger in their slippers and Belgian loafers with thin half rubber sole.
