Breathable lining
Cushioned footbed

Description
This is a British-style loafer, and the cut backs that up: a low, clean vamp, a rounded toe and a small gold buckle set square across the instep. It is the shape that has been worn with a pleated skirt and a knee sock for eighty years, and it works for the same reason it always did — the buckle is the only thing on it.
The upper and sole are both PVC, which makes this the most weather-indifferent shoe in the range: it wipes clean, it does not stain, and a wet pavement does it no harm at all. It also means it does not breathe, so it is a cool-weather shoe rather than a summer one, and a sock is a good idea.
Three colourways: cream, black and tan. Black is the most literal reading of the style; cream is the softest; tan sits between. The size run is short, from UK 4½ to UK 6½ — check before ordering. There is no fit guidance beyond the size chart, so we have not invented any: order your usual size and use the foot-length table below if you are unsure. Browse the full Women'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.
