A shoe type that you've probably seen in various places, currently extremely popular, thanks to its versatility and comfort. Goes by a few different names, but is like a mix of our Belgian traveler loafers and higher models. Fitted with very lightweight rubber soles that were developed to provide comfort when people travelled, but were so comfortable and durable that people wore them all the time. Hidden elastic makes the ankle-high shoe easy to put on and take off.
Durable construction, so they can be re-soled. Crafted on an elegant round-toe last, in super soft dark blue Repello suede from the British tannery Charles F. Stead. Full leather interior. A shoe type that can be worn to the beach in summer, as well as to work earlier or later in the year.
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.
Construction:
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.
More in-depth sizing guidance and info on how you'll find your base size in welted shoes can be found in the tab Size guide below. If you are still uncertain on your size, e-mail .
