Men’s Loafers | The Perfect Summer Shoe

As we look forward to the Summer months and the prospect of holidays whether it be local or travelling abroad our footwear choices change with the men’s loafer being a obvious selection. A slip on staple across the Barker shoe collections for the Spring / Summer seasons, the loafer and/or moccasin is a lace less favourite that can be worn in many ways. From Tassel Loafers to accompany suiting at weddings or formal events to casual Penny Loafers worn with T-Shirt and shorts, the Barker Loafer collection is extensive.

The origins of the loafer trace back to the London-based bespoke shoe company Wildsmith Shoes who designed a slip on shoe for King George VI as a casual house shoe. The Wildsmith Loafer was designed by Raymond Lewis Wildsmith and has subsequently been sold by other London shoe companies under the name ‘Harrow’.

Other origins of the loafer takes us to Scandinavia where Aurland-based shoemaker Nils Gregoriusson Tveranger designed a loafer in 1908 that was originally worn by Norwegian farmers. In 1930, Tveranger developed his design having been inspired by Native American footwear and named his creation the Aurland Moccasin which became popular throughout Europe.

In 1934, Maine-based shoemaker G.H Bass made a Tveranger inspired loafer and named it Weejun in homage to its Norwegian heritage. This G.H. Bass reinterpretation became penny loafer style we adore today as the colloquial Penny Loafer name was introduced in 1950s America when the Weejun became the shoe of choice for college students who thought it fashionable to keep a dime in the half moon cut out slot of the leather strip.

Barker loafers for men feature in several of the Barker collections including the Handcrafted, Creative and Professional collections. A firm favourite across the Barker collections is the Penny Loafer with the Caruso being a notable Goodyear welted style made in the Barker shoe factory located in Earls Barton, Northampton (England). The Caruso is the longest running Barker style having been introduced in the early 1960s. Designed by a member of the Barker family, Albert Barker took inspiration from the American Ivy League classic making the Caruso on the number 10 last from polished leather on a full leather sole. Available in Black and Burgundy Hi-Shine the Caruso is a timeless classic that can be worn dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The Caruso is the archival style behind the BOEB Archive collection Mear Penny Loafer except this is made from premium fine grain and suede leather on a British Dainite rubber sole.

Popular Barker Penny loafers include the Gates (BarkerTech collection), Jevington (Handcrafted collection) and Portsmouth (Professional collection) which are made from a variety of premium calf and suede leathers on a choice of leather or Dainite rubber soles. Another slip on staple within the Barker shoe range is the Tassel Loafer which came to be from a commission made by the Alden Shoe Company for actor Paul Lukas  The tassel loafer is has an elegant silhouette and is available in the Barker collection in the form of the Clive, Newborough and Studland styles.

The horsebit loafer is another slip on style made famous by the Italian luxury fashion house Gucci. Barker’s take on the horsebit loafer (Frank) is a recent addition to the Barker Creative collection and features a Goodyear welted construction, single leather sole and tasteful brass saddle detailing. The Barker Moccasin collection remains popular with the Doug, Jefferson, Ledley and Tony styles available in several colourways. Discover your perfect Summer shoe at Barker online.

How loafers for men have evolved in recent times

Story by: Jeremy Cabral

History

The basic design for loafers has its origin in the Norwegian region invented by fishermen. Travelers found them interesting, and it started trading across Europe as it gained popularity. Loafers started out as simple leather slip-on shoes with some straps on it and have evolved as a shoe suited for every occasion. Today these mens loafers are produced all…

The Essential Loafer Shoe Guide For Men

The rise of the slip-on shoe has become apparent since the start of the COVID 19 pandemic with gentleman swapping professional staples including the traditional Oxford shoes with laceless styles that are easy to wear and offer a business casual appearance. Excluding the house slipper, there are several slip-on Barker shoes in the current collection which are essential when considering investing in styles such as a loafer, moccasin or slipper.

The most popular Barker slip-on style is men's loafer, an effortless slip-on with certain designs having an impressive history behind them. A menswear classic is the Penny loafer which has several historical origins, firstly in London where a bespoke shoe company called Wildsmith Shoes designed a slip-on shoe for King George VI as a casual house shoe. Designed by Raymond Lewis Wildsmith the bespoke design was called the ‘Wildsmith Loafer’ and has subsequently been sold by other London shoe firms under the name ‘Harrow’.

All about Different Types of Loafer Shoes for Men

Men love shoes. The personality of men somehow depends on the shoes that they wear. Today in this modern age, some old fashioned stereotype shoe can go against the style of the men but in the deep inside, most of the men are just passionate about the footwear. Men always have strong opinions on brands and styles for different festivals along with their dress and shoe that could get correct according to the occasion. They must have calculated decisions about their day to day wearing and seasons.

But while men are thinking about wearing some luxury footwear which is sophisticated in appearance, easy to put on yet comfortable to wear, loafers come first. Loafer shoes for men are shoes which do not require any fastening or lacing system and can be easily slipped into the footwear. Thus, sometimes they are also termed as slip-ones with a low heel or no heel. However, not only men, even women and children can do style in casual and fashionable wear.

History & Inspiration of Loafers:

The design and construction of loafers were based on the moccasins which were worn by Native Americans. However, the style of today’s loafer hugely varied but some of the styles are very dressy and also holding little similarity to its original form. Basically Moccasins have a lace across the top but do not have any separate heel or never have a heel. In the 1930s, an American Company started calling the moccasins as loafers. G. H. Bass added a strip of leather across the top with diamond-shaped cut-out typical of penny loafers which were then termed as Weejuns.

Wildsmith Shoes of London for King George VI made Wildsmith Loafer as a country house shoe. This design was copied by other companies and sold as the name Harrow. Again, the 1960s, Gucci take another further step and added a metal strap to the top. After that those footwear was acceptable with the business-wear dress.

Types of Loafer Shoes for Men:

Now, over the few years some of the most famous styles of men’s loafer shoes are:

Penny Loafers: It has a leather strap across the forefoot with diamond-shaped slot big enough o held penny. This style is popular men’s loafer shoe since the 1950s.

Gucci Loafers: Loafer with a Brass Strap in black introduced by Gucci to make it suitable for business-wear.

Tassel Loafers: Alden Shoe Company has developed a slip-on style of decorative lace with tassels on the top that was popularized by Brooks Brothers.

Moc Loafers: Similar to traditional moccasins, Moc loafers have overcast stitching.

Twice a week, we round up the best of menswear on eBay so that our readers don’t have to. For an additional roundup, along with a list of each week’s best sales, subscribe to our Inside Track newsletter.

My favorite items in today’s roundup are these Ghurka bags -- the Expediter, Examiner, and Courier No. 8. They were made back in the heydays of the company, when Marley Hodgson owned the brand and everything was manufactured in the USA. The company has since passed hands a few times, and some of what was once off-shored has now been brought back, but I still think the vintage stuff feels the nicest. The leathers back then just felt heavier and had more of an interesting character.

Những mẫu giày nam cao cấp được sử dụng nhiều nhất bởi phái mạnh

Với mỗi chàng trai chắc chắn ai cũng sở hữu ít nhất 2-3 đôi giày, dù bạn theo phong cách nào đi chăng nữa, dù bạn là không phải là một chàng trai yêu thích sự sang trọng hay thanh lịch thì những đôi giày da cũng rất cần thiết cho phong cách của bạn. Chúng ta vẫn thường gọi chung tất cả các kiểu giày da bằng một cái tên chung là “Giày da” mà không hề biết rằng mỗi kiểu dáng giày lại có những tên gọi khác nhau. Các bạn muốn biết vì sao lại có tên gọi và lịch sử của từng đôi giày đó không? Hôm nay, hãy cùng tôi lắng nghe những câu chuyện về những mẫu giày da nam được sử dụng nhiều nhất bởi phái mạnh nhé.

Buck

Buck là tên gọi của của một kiểu giày biến thể từ giày Oxford. Chúng được làm từ da lộn, thiết kế đơn giản, không hoa văn và thường có màu sắc tương đối tươi sáng. Buck được bình chọn là kiểu giày nam cao cấp mà các chàng nên có nhất, bởi nó có thể biến hóa theo từng phong cách thời trang khác nhau. Nó đủ thanh lịch và sang trọng để đi kèm với quần tây, có chút trẻ trung để đồng hành cùng quần shorts và đầy sự cá tính để đi cùng với quần jeans rách. Với một đôi Buck màu nâu sáng trung tính, bạn sẽ không có bất cứ điều gì để băn khoăn về cách để phối đồ với nó. Chukka

Chukka là một kiểu giày cao cổ dành cho nam, loại giày được quân đội Anh sử dụng phổ biến trong Thế chiến thứ II. Trước đó, những đôi Combat Boots to bự khiến cát dễ chui vào chân gây ngứa ngáy, khó chịu khi hành quân và tham chiến trên sa mạc. Cái họ cần là một đôi giày chắc chắn, ôm chân hơn và không cần đế cao su dày khự để bám đất nữa. 

Do đó, Chukka ra đời.Chukka còn có một tên gọi khác là Desert Boots, và mẫu giày nổi tiếng này được khai thác bởi rất nhiều thương hiệu đình đám, trong đó Clarks là nổi bật nhất. Với thiết kế chỉ có hai hoặc ba lỗ dây, chất liệu da lộn hay da bò, Chukka được ưa thích bởi phần cổ mềm mại, bao quanh mắt cá chân vừa chặt chẽ lại luôn thoải mái. Kiểu giày này được kết hợp với quần jeans hay suit đều sẽ là một vũ khí lợi hại đốn tim các nàng của đấng mày râu.

Oxford là chính là kiểu giày thông dụng nhất hiện nay, và đây cũng là kiểu giày tây nam được sử dụng phổ biến đầu tiên trên thế giới. Tên gọi cũ của Oxford là Balmoral, cái tên được lấy theo tên của lâu đài Balmoral nơi người thợ tài hoa vô danh đã thiết kế nên mẫu giày danh tiếng này. Sau đó, mẫu giày có nguồn gốc từ Scotland này được đổi tên thành Oxford, lấy theo tên ngôi trường nổi tiếng bởi sinh viên ở đây phải tuân thủ các nguyên tắc về ăn mặc trong đó bắt buộc phải sử dụng loại giày mang tính chất nghi lễ này. Tuy vậy, cái tên cũ Balmoral vẫn còn được sử dụng bởi những người Anh di cư tới Mỹ.Một đặc điểm khá dễ để nhận biết kiểu giày này chính là hàng dây cột đón kín trên thân và phần da bọc thêm ở mũi giày. 

Hiện nay, với sự phổ biến có mình, giày Oxford có rất nhiều biến thể về kiểu dáng như London Brogue hay Wingtip cũng như sự đa dạng màu sắc nhưng trong đó 2 màu đen và nâu vẫn luôn là hai màu được ưa thích nhất của phái mạnh bởi tính tiện dụng của chúng trong việc phối đồ. Loafer

Vào thế kỉ 19, một công ty sản xuất giày dép ở Anh đã tạo ra những chiếc giày vô cùng đơn giản để sử dụng trong nhà, đặc biệt là ở những biệt thự vùng đồng quê nước Anh cho Hoàng gia và giới quý tộc. Đó chính là những thiết kế đầu tiên của kiểu giày Loafer. Trước khi trở thành một trong những mẫu giày được sử dụng nhiều nhất bởi phái mạnh như hiện nay, Loafer là kiểu giày được thiết kế riêng cho Vua George VI bởi Raymond Lewis Wildsmith, và sau đó nó được các nhà sản xuất giày khác ở London theo bước và tăng cường sản xuất. Mãi cho đến khi tạp chí Esquire lần đầu tiên giới thiệu về kiểu giày này, Loafers mới trở thành món phụ kiện được ưa chuộng bậc nhất bởi số đông người yêu thời trang. Derby

Trước khi được sử dụng như một kiểu giày tây công sở, Derby là kiểu giày được thiết kế cho mục đích săn bắn trong thể thao. Tuy nhiên, vào thế kỷ 20, trước sự ra đời của hàng loạt các thương hiệu giày thể thao đình đám như Adidas, Nike, Asics,... Derby không còn là kiểu giày thể thao phổ biến nữa. Khác với Oxford, Derby có phần mu giày mở, phần xỏ dây linh hoạt nhằm mang đến sự thoải mái cho người sử dụng, khá phù hợp với các trang phục công sở, đặc biệt là áo vest và quần Âu. Với yêu cầu ngày càng khắt khe trong thời trang của phái mạnh, các mẫu giày Derby hiện nay được thiết kế khá đa dạng, điều này khiến cho các quý ông có nhiều cơ hội mang những thiết kế giày khác nhau trên cùng một kiểu giày.Để biết nhiều thông tin về giày dép, mẹo bảo quản... thì hãy truy cập vào website: banuli.vn để đọc nhé và xem thêm nhiều mẫu giày nam cao cấp đẹp từ Banuli.

The history of the Penny Loafer

The history of the loafer has several origins firstly in London where bespoke shoe company Wildsmith Shoes designed a slip-on shoe for King George VI as a casual house shoe. The design by Raymond Lewis Wildsmith was called ‘The Wildsmith Loafer’ and has subsequently been sold by other London shoe firms under the name ‘The Harrow’.

Secondly, the loafer can be traced back to Norwegian farmers where Aurland-based shoemaker Nils Gregoriusson Tveranger introduced his first design in 1908. Aged 13, Tveranger travelled to North America to study the craft of shoemaking before returning to Norway aged 20.

In 1930, Tveranger developed a design inspired by Native American footwear and a moccasin-like shoe traditionally worn by the workers of his fjord-side home. The ‘Aurland Moccasin’ became known throughout Europe and visiting Americans brought the shoes home as souvenirs.

In 1934 Maine-based shoemaker G.H. Bass launched its version of Tveranger’s shoe, named the Weejun in homage to its Norwegian origins.

By the mid-century the loafer was championed by US men’s bibles Esquire and Apparel Arts, worn by sartorialists and college students alike. It’s believed the term ‘ Penny Loafer’ came from American prep school students who wishing to make a fashion statement, took to inserting a penny into the diamond-shaped slit on their Weejuns. The inserted coins would be enough money to make an emergency phone call at the time.

The Penny Loafer today remains a menswear icon, championed by the Ivy League of yesteryear, its classic and refined styling makes it effortless to wear both for formal and/or casual occasions.
