We are very happy to be also offer loafers to the new top range Artista. Really elegant such, made on the Goya last with a classic round toe. Equipped with a single leather sole, where the neat waist makes the shoes appearance differ from most things you can find on the market in this price range. Here also with slightly tapered heel. In a dark brown Janus reverse calf suede from the British tannery Charles F. Stead.
TLB Mallorca Artista is a new top range which takes features from the absolutely finest RTW shoes in the world, and also from bespoke shoes, and offer them at a really affordable price level. We have super slim waists, bevelling going in all the way under the heel for extra strength, smooth sanded sole edges, heel stiffeners in real leather that shape well to the foot, and so on.
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 against for example heel slippage.
