Fluchos Naplak loafer in black patent

The Fluchos Naplak black loafer is an everyday slip-on with a crinkle patent finish, a chain-link trim across the vamp and a chunky sole that gives the classic loafer a more modern edge.

The look

The patent has a slightly textured, crinkled surface, so it shines without the stiff mirror effect of smooth patent, and everyday scuffs are far less noticeable. The vamp is finished with a dark, gunmetal-toned chain-link detail that stays understated because it blends in with the rest of the shoe. The Fluchos logo sits on the side and at the heel.

Sole and comfort

The sole is thick and black, with a deep herringbone tread and lugs around the edge, so it feels more suited to pavements and cobbles than a slim traditional loafer. The collar is padded and the footbed is grey. The label on the insole states that the shoe is made in Spain.

Fit

There is no fastening at all: just slip your foot in and go, which is handy when you're in a hurry or popping in and out all day. We suggest ordering your usual size; if you're not sure, drop us an email and we'll help you choose.

How to wear it

Glossy black works just as well with straight-leg jeans and fine socks as it does with tailored trousers or a midi skirt. It looks smart enough for the office, and at the weekend it suits a relaxed outfit with a chunky knit or a trench coat. The thicker sole balances wide-leg and cropped trousers nicely.
