Breathable lining
Cushioned footbed
Durable rubber outsole
Description
Leather inside and out, which is rarer than it sounds at this price. The upper is cow leather and the lining is leather too, so the shoe breathes and moulds to the foot over the first few wears instead of staying the same shape for its whole life. That is the single biggest difference between a shoe you keep and one you replace.
The construction is a true moccasin: the upper wraps under the foot and is stitched around the apron, with the seam left proud and a row of perforations punched through the vamp for air. The sole and footbed are both rubber — grippier and quieter than leather on city pavements, and better suited to a shoe that will spend time behind a wheel. Coverage stops below the ankle.
Five colourways, and they behave differently as the leather ages. Black and blue stay close to how they arrive. Tan and amber will darken and take on a patina where the foot creases, which is the point of buying them. White is a summer shoe and a commitment — it will scuff, and it looks better for it, but do not expect it to stay showroom clean. Whole sizes only from this maker: if you are between two, take the larger, and take the larger again if your foot is wide. Browse the full Men's Loafers range.

Size & Fit
These loafers are true to size. Simply select your usual size. To measure your foot: place your heel against a wall and measure from the wall to the end of your longest toe, then allow approximately 1 cm of extra space.
Care
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid prolonged exposure to water and direct heat. Allow to air dry away from radiators, and store with a shoe tree or stuffing to help keep their shape.
Loafers Heritage started with a simple idea: one kind of shoe, done properly. No trainers, no boots — just loafers, chosen one pair at a time and stocked in every size we can get, delivered across the United Kingdom. Every pair has to earn its place on three points: the upper, the footbed and the sole.
How should these loafers fit, and what size should I order?
They run true to size, so order your usual UK size. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, size up. Not sure? Stand with your heel against a wall and measure from the wall to your longest toe, then match that length to your usual size.
Do they need breaking in?
Very little. The construction and cushioned insole feel comfortable from the first wear; you may notice the upper relax and mould to your foot over the first day or two.
Can I wear them without socks?
Yes. No-show socks keep the lining fresh without breaking the clean line of the shoe, which is ideal in warmer months. If you go sock-free often, rotating between pairs helps the lining last longer.
How do I care for them?
For suede, brush with a suede or crepe brush after wear and treat marks with a suede eraser rather than water. For leather, wipe with a soft cloth and use a matching conditioner now and then. A protector spray before first wear helps both. Store with a shoe tree, away from direct heat.
Are they waterproof?
No. Leather and suede are water-resistant at best. A protector spray helps them shrug off light rain; after a heavy soaking, let them dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators or direct heat, with a shoe tree inside to hold their shape.
