Icarus Loafers in White Box Calf and Red

White with red against it is not a combination most shoes survive. The Icarus is a loafer, which is the shape relaxed enough to try it.

White box calf takes the larger part of the upper and red painted calf the rest, both of them smooth. Black calf leather lines the inside and a plain black leather sole runs underneath, which anchors the pale upper above it. The shoe sits on the Monti last, finishing in a slightly square toe. Every pair is handmade.

Being laceless is what makes a loafer easy to take on, and being tidy is what keeps it correct in an office. This pair stretches the second of those further than most. Wear it in summer, with plain trousers, and let it be the only bright thing.
