Barkers Studland Loafer: The Perfect Design For Autumn 2022

Constructed from the artisan shoemakers of Barker, the Studland loafer offers a range of benefits that walk between versatility and classic style. The designs are crafted from supple leather and boast a sleek, slimline shape so they can look good with pretty much anything. Northamptonshire Made Equals Guaranteed Quality One of the unique selling points of these shoes spawns from their origin. The design was imagined & manufactured in Northamptonshire; an English county known for its shoe making excellence. Barkers as a brand has a reputation of premium craftmanship that dates back over 100 years. So, whether it’s drizzly, windy or somewhere in between you can be assured of weather-resistant, svelte designs ideal for the cooler seasons. Goodyear Welted Sole Furthermore, this loafer is Goodyear welted. To clarify, a Goodyear welt is a strip of leather that is sewn around the bottom edge of a shoe, attached to both the insole and the upper. The welt can then be easily unstitched, which thus detaches the sole without damaging the rest of the shoe, meaning it can be replaced time and time again as it is worn down. This long-standing technique ultimately provides a sturdy shoe design that can be worn in the winter months. Calf Leather with A Natural Finish Another factor that makes these loafers so desirable is the natural finish that comes from their leather. The beauty of calf leather that it naturally wrinkles with time, meaning that your Studland loafers will naturally shape themselves around the shape of your foot. Hand-Stitched Detailing Finally, one of the last details that make these Studland stand out is their hand-stitched detailing. Like every Barker design, these loafers are constructed with top level attention to detail and feature a unique shape, providing the ultimate quality.
