Capri Suede Driving Loafers
How to spot the original Capri
A moccasin seam runs round the toe in tight raised stitches, and the penny strap is stitched across the front with a slot cut into it, the classic driving loafer shape.
Inside, the shoe is lined in a warm tan that contrasts with the suede upper, and the leather insole feels soft underfoot when you wear them without socks.
Rubber grip nubs run along the sole, and a separate rubber pad with a diamond pattern wraps up the back of the heel, so the heel grips as it rests on a car pedal.

The suede
Suede driving loafers in genuine suede
The upper is soft genuine suede with a velvety nap, finished with neat moccasin stitching around the toe.
A penny strap across the front gives them a classic loafer look.
They slip on easily, with no laces, and a leather insole feels soft underfoot.
They feel as good as they look.
The Capri loafers are made in genuine suede, soft and supple from the first wear, with the relaxed elegance of Italian driving shoes. They are perfect for summer weekends, holidays, smart-casual offices and long lunches, bringing a refined, effortless touch to any outfit. Suede gives a rich, velvety texture that looks expensive and feels wonderful.
The sole
Flexible grip, US 6.5 to 15
Rubber grip nubs on the sole and heel give traction when driving or walking.
These are sold in US sizes: US 8 is UK 7, US 9.5 is UK 8.5 and US 11 is UK 10; the full chart is in the size guide.
They fit true to size. The soft suede moulds to your foot, so they feel even more comfortable after a few wears.
The flexible sole moves naturally with your foot and gives good grip on pedals and pavements, so they are comfortable for driving, walking around town and exploring new cities on holiday. Wear them sockless with chinos and a linen shirt, or with dark jeans and a polo for an easy weekend look. The soft suede moulds to the shape of your foot over time, so they become more comfortable the more you wear them. They are also easy to slip into a suitcase for summer holidays, city breaks and weddings abroad, adding a touch of classic style without taking up much space.
