Men's Loafers

The different types of loafers are defined by the embellishments on their arch or their type of sole. Loafers with a rubber or leather sole usually have a strap or ‘’saddle’’, a flat tongue or decorative tassels. These signature elements in men's loafers highlight the personal style of those wearing them. 

Brands of men's boat shoes

Church’s is hailed as the quintessential loafer brand for more formal models. One of the best brands of men's loafers, it has a long trajectory alongside great men in recent history. Accompanying Winston Churchill himself to each one of his most important events, the Oxford and Derby models have always been ahead of men loafers and men's boat shoes.

Within moccasins for men, we also find the iconic Tod’s Gommino for men with a more recent history. In 1978, the della Valle brothers launched their own brands (Tod’s). During a trip to New York City, one of them (Diego) discovered the ‘car shoes’, a form of flexible sole loafers in rubber, made to drive comfortably. He brought a pair back to Italy and redesigned them with their classic pebbled sole with 133 rubber pebbles. The success was such that it acquired cult following, populating men summer loafer closets all around the world. 

Church’s loafers and Tod’s boat shoes are leading the loafer industry with their luxurious quality. These shoes are ideal for those who wish to invest in long-lasting men loafers for every occasion. 

The Spanish word for moccasins and loafers is shared, despite their clear differences. From their silhouette to their sole and finish, many are the disparities between the two main types, including their mast, rigidity, sole and finish.
