Why 80% off?
For years we made shoes the same way — cut, lasted and finished by hand, built to be resoled instead of replaced. We never chased a season and we never cut a corner to hit a price. We are closing our doors, and every pair still on the shelf leaves at a fraction of what it cost to make. When a size is gone, it is gone — these lasts will not be cut again. Not a promotion. A farewell on our own terms.
Description
The Belgian is our sleek and sophisticated take on an iconic loafer. Its chameleon-like versatility pairs effortlessly with everything from denim to black tie. The unlined construction introduces a relaxed slouch, lending a sense of ease to the silhouette while ensuring exceptional comfort — wherever the day or night takes you.

Fit & sizing
Fits true to size – take your usual size
If you are between two sizes, take the larger one — leather softens and moulds to your foot within the first week.
Care
- Rotate between wears and insert the shoe trees after use to retain shape and minimise creasing.
- Use a shoe horn when putting them on and take them off by hand to protect the heel.
- Brush or wipe the leather upper after wear to remove dust and light surface marks.
- Clean with a leather cleaner when needed, then apply a thin layer of cream or polish if the leather looks dry.
- Let the sole dry at room temperature if it becomes damp and keep away from direct heat.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How to measure your feet
1. Wear the socks you usually pair with these shoes.
2. Place your foot on a sheet of paper and trace its outline.
3. Measure from the heel to the longest toe with a ruler.
4. Match your measurement to the table and adjust for foot shape. The CM and inch values correspond to your foot's length, not the shoe's internal length.
Adjust for foot shape
– Normal: choose the size closest to your measurement.
– Wide and/or high instep: choose a full size larger than your nearest measurement.
– Narrow: choose the size closest to your measurement.

The suede
The nap comes back
Suede is brushed, so the surface is soft and matte. Mark it and the nap comes back with a brush — it does not go bald and it does not peel. Made to keep looking this way for years.
The fit
Soft from the first day
Very soft, so there is nothing to break in: it takes the shape of your foot from the first day. Soft is not shapeless — it returns to its own line every time you take it off.
Up close
Every detail, made to last
Nubuck
Leather buffed to a fine, velvety finish. Soft to the touch and light on the foot.
Piped edge
A fine piped edge around the front, the mark of a Belgian loafer.
Unlined
Nothing between your foot and the leather, so it breathes.

What our customers say
Real photos from our customers
Tried them on the sofa at home first. Really soft, and the low profile looks good with cropped trousers.
walked the beach boardwalk in these, no socks, and they felt crazy light the whole time.
Used them in the garden for a few hours, just slipping in and out while doing stuff. The little bow keeps them from looking like plain house shoes.
slipped them on for balcony coffee, and the bow just works with jeans.
Nice with tailoring at the gallery, super soft and light. Bow's a bit more noticeable than I expected.
for the farmers market, they were easy on and off, and the unlined feel made them stay cool.
on the boat trip they stayed comfortable, even with denim, and the soft leather moved right away.
at the hotel lobby, they looked right with a blazer and still felt like slippers. not stiff at all.
