The Horsebit Loafer is our humble homage to the iconic model of Gucci that was first introduced to market in the 1950s. It's crafted on the same last as our other penny loafers and finished with a horsebit ornament in silver, adding an edge to an otherwise relatively under-the-radar shoe. The result is a timeless staple that works with everything from denim to fine tailoring.
- Crafted by hand in Spain
- Goodyear welted
- Full leather lining
- Single leather sole
- Silver horsebit ornament
Fits large in size. We recommend selecting half a size down from what you usually wear in lace-up shoes.
Eliminate any excess dirt with a damp soft cloth. Brush the leather outer with a high-quality shoe cream in a suitable colour, which will help to protect the leather and restore the natural oils lost during outdoor wear. Buff any excess cream with a dry cloth to achieve a natural shine. If your leather feels especially dry, use a shoe conditioner before the cream to increase longevity.
Some tips to follow, ensuring the longevity of your shoes:
1. Alternate between wears: Let your shoes rest after wear and rotate between your styles. The shoes need time to recover from the humidity produced by your feet and the outdoor elements.
2. Use shoe trees: Shoe trees will help maintain the shape and structure in between wears. Using our specially crafted cedar shoe trees will encourage the evaporation of moisture and eliminate any undesirable odors.
3. Use a shoehorn: Using a shoehorn will protect the counter ensuring your shoes maintain their proper fit and comfort.
