Tamaris Black Leather Chunky Loafers 1-24722-43

Tamaris Black Leather Chunky Loafers 1-24722-43

This black leather loafer from Tamaris features an almond toe, a 40mm chunky cleated sole with a 25mm plateau, and a standout ombre brown perspex buckle detail — designed for women who want a polished, structured shoe that works as hard as they do across the working week and beyond. The leather upper softens with wear, and the cushioned Touch It insole with padded heel cap means comfort is built in from the first wear, not something you have to break in to.

Key Features

• Leather upper with subtle brown contrast stitching and a decorative ombre perspex buckle for understated detail
• 40mm chunky cleated sole with 25mm plateau gives height and grip without the instability of a traditional heel

• Slip-on fit with almond toe shape — easy to wear, easy to style

Fit and Sizing

This loafer fits true to size and is designed for a standard-width foot — the leather upper will soften and ease with wear, but it is not recommended for wider feet. If you are between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit. Half sizes are not available in this style, so those between sizes should go to the larger of the two.

Best For

• Everyday work wear — smart-casual offices, hybrid working days, school runs before and after
• College and university students — a more considered alternative to trainers that still works with jeans or trousers
• Transitional dressing — moving from summer sandals into autumn and winter footwear
• Weekend errands and town days — comfortable enough for a full day out, polished enough for lunch or coffee with friends
• Teacher, healthcare, and retail professionals — on-feet roles where grip and cushioning matter
• Casual smart occasions — gallery visits, city breaks, family gatherings where trainers feel too casual

Styling Guidance

The black leather and chunky sole make this loafer one of the most adaptable shoes in an autumn-winter wardrobe. It works particularly well with wide-leg or straight-leg trousers — the plateau sole gives just enough lift to balance the volume of a wider leg without losing proportion. Worn with a midi skirt and fine-knit jumper, the ombre buckle becomes a quiet focal point that holds the outfit together.

For a more casual day look, pair with slim-fit jeans and a relaxed blazer in camel or chocolate brown — the warm brown tones in the buckle carry through beautifully. The black leather also grounds brighter or more textured outfits, making it a useful anchor piece when building around prints or colour.

• Works well with: Wide-leg trousers, midi skirts, slim-fit jeans, tailored shorts
• Colour palette: Black, camel, chocolate brown, cream, forest green, burgundy

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this loafer true to size? Yes, this style fits true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up as half sizes are not available.

What is the heel height on this shoe? The heel measures 40mm with a 25mm plateau — giving a net lift of around 15mm. It has the look and presence of a chunky sole without any significant incline underfoot.

What is the upper made from? The upper is made from leather, which softens gradually with wear and shapes to the foot over time.

Are these comfortable for a full day of wear? Yes — the Touch It cushioned insole and padded heel cap are designed specifically for extended wear. The chunky cleated sole also distributes weight evenly, which helps on longer days on your feet.

Are these suitable as a work shoe? This loafer is one of the more versatile work options in the Tamaris range — the leather upper is smart enough for office environments, and the cushioned sole is practical enough for roles that involve a lot of standing or moving.

Are these suitable for wider feet? This style is designed for a standard-width foot. The leather will ease slightly with wear, but it is not recommended for those who need extra width — a wider-fit style would be a better choice.
