Men's Suede Driving Loafers
How to spot the original Driving Loafers
Rubber pebble studs sit in two pads at the toe and heel and carry on up the back of the heel, so the shoe grips the pedals and the suede is protected when driving.
A stitched penny strap sits across the instep, and a moccasin seam with tonal thread runs round the toe, so the front stays soft and shapes to your foot.
The upper is genuine cow suede and the lining is genuine leather too, in a warm tan colour you can see inside, so it feels smooth against bare feet.
The leather
Soft cow leather, inside and out
The upper and the lining are both genuine cow leather, so the loafers breathe and feel soft from the first wear.
The penny strap and moccasin stitching give a timeless look.
Leather lining means no synthetic sweatiness: your feet stay comfortable on warm days and long drives.
The sole
Studded and flexible
The rubber studs on the sole grip the pedals and the pavement, and the sole bends with your foot.
They are light enough to pack in a weekend bag.
The studded sole is light and flexible, so they are easy to pack and comfortable on holiday.

From Maria & Denis
Suede driving loafers in soft cow leather: the light, flexible shoe for weekends, holidays and smart-casual days.
The nubuck-feel upper is lined in leather, the classic penny strap sits across the top, and the studded rubber sole grips without feeling heavy.
Driving loafers are the most comfortable smart shoe there is, and with leather inside and out these feel soft and breathable from the start.
Black, in US sizes 6.5 to 15 (EU 38 to 49).

Fabric & care
Genuine leather upper and lining, rubber sole.
Brush gently with a suede brush; keep away from heavy rain.
Wipe the leather with a soft damp cloth after wear and let it dry naturally away from heat.
A little leather cream every few weeks keeps it supple and helps it resist rain.
Use a shoe tree or stuffed paper between wears to keep the shape and let the leather breathe.
