Women’s genuine leather loafers and ballet flats
MACHIAVELLI loafers and ballet flats are made of genuine leather, patent leather and genuine suede. There are classic buckle loafers, models on a light platform or lug sole, and soft strap ballet flats.
Moccasins or loafers?
Both are slip-on shoes without laces. Moccasins are traditionally softer, loafers have a firmer sole and heel; you will find both here.
Genuine leather softens and moulds to the foot, so loafers should fit snugly from the first day. Protect suede models with a waterproofing spray and clean them with a dry brush.
Questions about loafers
Should loafers fit snugly?
Yes. Loafers have no laces and genuine leather relaxes a little with wear, so a new pair should hold your heel without pinching your toes.
Do genuine leather shoes stretch?
Genuine leather softens and moulds slightly to your foot over the first few wears, so a new pair should feel snug without pinching.
How do I clean genuine suede shoes?
Brush suede dry with a suede brush, following the nap, and protect it with a waterproofing spray. If it gets wet, let the shoes dry at room temperature, away from a radiator.
How do I choose the right size?
Most models fit your usual size. Every model has a fit note next to its sizes, and the size guide gives the foot length in centimetres.
How long does delivery take, and can I return the shoes?
