Fit and Sizing

This loafer has a slightly generous fit with a wider toe box, making it a good option for wider feet or those who need extra room around the bunion area. The suede upper feels snug initially but softens with wear as it moulds to the foot. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down half a size. Half sizes are available across the UK 4–7.5 range.

Best For

• Work and office wear
• Everyday smart-casual dressing
• College and daily commuting
• Long days on your feet that call for genuine comfort
• Travel days where you need a reliable, easy slip-on shoe
• Versatile everyday styling that pairs with both trousers and skirts

Styling Guidance

The brown/taupe suede works as a true neutral, making this loafer easy to build outfits around throughout the working week. Pair it with tailored trousers or wide-leg denim for the office, or with a midi skirt and knit for a smarter-casual look. Because the colour sits between brown and taupe, it pairs comfortably with both warm and cool tones, giving you more flexibility than a true black or tan shoe would offer.

• Works well with: tailored trousers, wide-leg denim, midi skirts, knitwear
• Colour palette: camel, cream, navy, olive, charcoal
