Men's Loafers

Incredibly popular in Britain, and here in our Birmingham store, loafers are versatile shoes that go with almost any outfit, allowing the wearer to be comfortable and stylish with minimal effort - the perfect shoe, some may say. Although loafers come in a variety of styles, they are characterised by their lack of laces and their simple, slip-on nature. Originally from a Norwegian farm of all places, this classic and well-constructed shoe has made its way into both the formal and casual wardrobes of many men and women all over the world.

The shoe began to gain popularity in the 1950s when young men and students began wearing these before trainers came along. The first loafer to become popular was the Penny Loafer, where it became fashionable to keep a dime in the leather strip of the shoe. Since then, various designs have come into style and their demand has grown.

English Brands Heritage have carefully handpicked the most exquisitely designed and crafted loafers from leading brands, including Barker, H by Hudson and Chatham.
