Cendex | Tassel Loafer Slip On

Laces skipped. Leather on. Gone.

A slip-on loafer with a tassel across the vamp, built to be put on at the door and forgotten about. The opening is cut close enough to hold the heel without pinching, so there is no break-in period to work through. A cushioned footbed sits underneath, which is what makes the difference by the third hour on hard floors. Worn with trousers or with denim, it reads smart without tipping into formal.

Cushioned Footbed That Carries Long Days The padding underfoot takes the edge off pavement and tile, so standing meetings stop registering in your heels. It keeps its shape rather than flattening out after a few weeks.

Rubber Outsole With Grip You Can Trust Wet stone and polished lobby floors are handled without a slide. It also wears down far more slowly than a thin leather sole, which is what keeps the shoe going past one season.

Tassel Detail That Softens the Front The tassel breaks up the vamp and stops the loafer reading too severe. That is what lets it sit comfortably with chinos on a Saturday as well as with tailoring on a Tuesday.

Leather Upper With a Clean, Close Finish The upper is leather, smooth-grained and lightly structured so the shoe holds its line across the instep instead of collapsing. Stitching runs tight along the sole edge, and the moccasin seam over the toe is kept neat and low-profile.

Wear them with tapered wool trousers and no socks showing, or with dark denim and a knitted polo.
