Women's ("Kiana") Blue Navy Designer Driving Loafers by Bernard DE WULF® (Unlined)
DE WULF® Designer Driving Loafers for Women are comfortable, light, water-resistant, elegant, practical and affordable, with features that include:
✓ Water-resistant genuine upper nubuck leather.
✓ Latex outer sole made from cultivated rubber trees in Brazil.
✓ Sizes: 5, half sizes 6-11
✓ Width: Medium
✓ Colors: Carrot, Navy, Black, Wood
✓ Handcrafted in Brazil in a family-owned factory.
Please note that our loafers need to feel snug at first since the leather will stretch after a couple of days of wear. If they are too comfortable at the time of purchase, they will feel too big later. Also note that if one intends to wear them with socks, one needs to order a half size up.
The loafers should NOT hurt at the anchor points (see red circle below) as they will not give. However, the leather below the stitching all around the loafer will stretch to mold around your feet for a wonderful fit. Please note the leather in the very front, below the stitching, will stretch as well.
Driving loafers are made to drive, go to a dinner or a party, a short walk to a nearby cafe or shop, or in casual outings. Driving loafers are not designed to wear day after day or for walking in them all day long. They are great business casual shoes; they are usually more comfortable than dress shoes and more elegant than sneakers. You can wear the driving loafer with casual looks like dresses, skirts, denim, chinos, and shorts all year round.
Couldn’t be happier with my new “blue suede shoes”. The soft leather makes them very comfortable. I’ll be buying these shoes again.
absolutely love these, bought carrot and blue! Customer service was great and they arrived quick!
I'm pretty impressed with these! The fit is a LITTLE tight - but that's probably because I have weird feet. If you have normal feet and follow their chart you should be fine. Craftmanship is beautiful and the color is amazing. Fast shipping, too. I'll definitely consider buying from this shop again.
These are absolutely great loafers! Beautiful navy color and precise handcraft, thank you!
The iconic Driving Loafer that we know today of which the manufacturing in the US began in the early 1930s was first created by Norwegian fishermen as boat shoes. European intellectuals started wearing them and were copied by shoemakers from America and England. Soon after, everyone was wearing them on college campuses in the US, from James Dean to J.F.K.
The leather of the loafer is light, comfortable, elegant, practical, easy on/off, perfect for spring, summer, and fall. It can be worn with or without socks and with casual to semi-formal outfits.
Genuine upper Nubuck leather made in Brazil for elegance, softness, and breathability. Stronger than suede, Nubuck leather is just as comfortable and more durable. It molds itself around the foot for a very comfortable fit.
Nubuck leather is top-grain cowhide leather that has been created from the outer side of a hide, giving it strength and thickness, and a fine grain. Nubuck leather has been sanded or buffed on the grain side to give a slight nap of short protein fibers, producing a velvet-like surface soft to the touch. Nubuck leather can present some small imperfections such as marks, veins or color variations, which ultimately give character, personality, and charm to our Loafers.
Nubuck leather requires less maintenance and it is more durable than suede. Unlike suede, Nubuck leather is as water-resistant as regular leather and does not stain from water drops or splashes.
Latex outer sole made from the rubber tree cultivated in Brazil. This outer sole gives the loafer lightness, durability, bounce and flexibility, grip, stability and traction, comfort and insulation.
Driving loafers were created as a very comfortable shoe to drive with. Given that the style was also very nice, people started wearing their driving loafers to casual-dress events such as elegant barbecues, lunch with friends, and cocktail parties. Please note that driving loafers are not made to be worn every day for most of the day or most situations. The structure of the driving loafer and related sole are not made for that.
