The spring loafer

When the warmer days arrive, outfits get lighter — and shoes should match the season. The Belgian Loafer is a global reference. It is the ultimate smart-casual men’s shoe. We’ve chosen to offer our own interpretation, in a light and sophisticated spring version. Crafted from leathers selected for their suppleness and durability, it is unlined. The foot is in direct contact with the reverse side of the leather, making it incredibly comfortable.

This model should fit snugly when first tried on. If you’re between two sizes, contact us. (For our loyal customers: the Gattaca fits like the Bronx.)

A hand-patinated men’s shoe at the fairest price

Known for its artisanal patinas made in the purest tradition, Maison Caulaincourt had to offer such an iconic model in a wide variety of colors. The Belgian Loafer is an easy-to-wear shoe — you should be able to pair it with anything. Do you enjoy elegance with a touch of boldness? Dare brown paired with lilac or emerald green. Prefer a more understated style? Combine chocolate with neutral tones or opt for a safe shade like black or navy. Have something specific in mind? Contact us — your satisfaction is our priority.

Tip: thanks to its refined, unlined construction, it is perfect for wearing without socks.
