Barkers Studland Loafer: The Trophy of Style Versatility
Constructed from the artisan shoemakers of Northamptonshire, England, the Studland loafer offers a range of benefits that oscillate between versatility and ultimate style. The designs are crafted from supple leather and boast a sleek, slimline shape.
Northamptonshire Made
One of the unique selling points of these shoes actually comes from their origin. The design was manufactured in Northamptonshire; an English county known for its dynasty of shoe making excellence. Barkers as a brand have a reputation of premium craftmanship that dates back over 100 years.
Goodyear Welted Sole
Furthermore, the designs are good year 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.
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.
So, there you have it, 3 designs perfect for the upcoming spring and summer months.
