This type of comfortable shoe is extremely popular, a mix of our Belgian traveler loafers and higher models. Hidden elastics makes the ankle-high shoe easy to put on and take off. Fitted with very lightweight rubber soles that were designed to provide comfort when people travelled, but were so comfortable and durable that people wore them all the time. It's a bit like walking on clouds when you wear these.
Crafted on an elegant round-toe last, in medium brown Repello suede from British tannery Charles F. Stead. Inside lined in leather. This make-up works well with a pair of shorts at the beach, with a linen suit for a summer party and with a pair of chinos at work. Blake stitched construction, can be re-soled
Small in size, see sizing guidance below. To get the best possible fit on loafers, who don't have lacing that can be adjusted, a good tip can be to use self-adhesive leather tongue pads. Works perfect if you for example experience heel slippage, and extra good if you have a low instep. Also if you have slim feet a thin leather insole can be excellent.

Blake stitched
Sole:
Cushioning full rubber sole. Heel height 22 mm (7/8").
Sizes:
They are a bit special in size compared to for example Goodyear welted shoes from Yanko, Skolyx, TLB Mallorca, Crockett & Jones and Carmina's sizes.
In general, the following apply:
- If you are a size EU42 / UK8 / US9 or smaller in welted shoes, most people choose the same size in their Traveler shoes and Traveler loafers with a cushioning full rubber sole.
- If you have a size EU42.5 / UK8.5 / US9.5 or higher in welted shoes, most people choose 0.5 size larger in their Traveler shoes and Traveler loafers with a cushioning full rubber sole.
