⊞

the elongated almond-toe shape gives this loafer a longer almond-toe profile, which prevents the large croc-embossed pattern from looking heavy across the forepart. The toe narrows gradually and keeps the apron and horsebit aligned along a refined, dress-oriented silhouette.

How these brown horsebit loafers fit

The shape is an elongated almond toe, slim to look at with length ahead of the toes. A horsebit loafer should hold the heel and sit close over the instep beneath the bit. Order your usual US dress shoe size, 6 to 15 including half sizes. A little heel lift when new is normal and settles as the sole starts to flex; a heel that comes right out of the shoe means the size or width is wrong. Try them with the socks you plan to wear, because sock thickness changes how the shoe holds, and remember your dress shoe size is often different from your sneaker size. We make men's brown horsebit loafers in every size from 6 to 15, including size 13, 14 and 15.

The metal bit does not stretch, so the instep fit you feel at first is the fit you keep. For a high instep or a broad foot choose E, EE or EEE in your usual length. The four widths are D (standard), E (wide), EE (extra wide) and EEE. Going up a size to gain width only makes a slip-on loose at the heel, so choose your true length and the width that matches your foot.

Brown horsebit loafers in three shades of brown

One flat brown on embossed leather looks like a print. On this pair the colour is layered by hand after the leather is embossed: cognac on the raised scales, mahogany between them and a darker brown toward the toe and edges. Large and small scales are placed across the upper so the pattern changes as it moves from the vamp to the sides. The toe is an elongated almond shape, and the lining and sole are leather.

Croc-embossed leather · Cognac, mahogany and dark brown · Metal horsebit

A polished horsebit sits across the vamp and gives the texture a fixed point. The pattern is embossed into leather; it is not crocodile skin. Men's brown horsebit loafers work with navy, grey and tan tailoring and with denim. The pair is hand-welted with closed-channel stitching, lined in leather, and can be resoled. They suit anyone looking for brown bit loafers, croc-embossed loafers or dress loafers with hardware that are made by hand.

How do I care for these? +

Remove loose dust with a soft brush or clean cloth. Follow the care instructions for the specific leather and finish; suede, patent, patina and two-tone uppers may need different products. Test any suitable cleaner, cream or conditioner on an inconspicuous area first, and use separate clean applicators on contrasting colours. Condition only when the leather and finish need it, rather than on a fixed schedule. Let damp shoes dry naturally away from direct heat. Contact Handsole before attempting recolouring or using a treatment whose compatibility is uncertain.
