Design Note

Following multiple requests from the community, we have worked closely with the family of master shoemakers in Corridonia, Italy who are responsible for our sneakers to create this contemporary daily loafer. With an unbelievably soft but strong, Italian sourced deerskin upper, a purpose sourced elevated light tan coloured, Italian calfskin for the lining leather, full-grain leather soles all connected by the sachetto (sock or bag construction) that provides unparalleled comfort and flexibility. We decided on the sacchetto construction for the unique comfort it provides the wearer - a sensation other construction methods cannot replicate. These shoes are not intended to hurt but rather compliment and assist your days, no matter what comes your way. In designing this pair, we have kept things simple and refrained from incorporating hardware, horse bits, or any other distractions - it is simply put a wonderfully made, versatile, daily loafer that is incredibly comfortable.

If your purchase is not exactly what you are looking for, you have 28 days from receiving your order to exchange or return and send your items back to us as long as you have not requested any alterations or special customizations.

However all made-to-order items or those ordered as part of the backed-by-you service, and products made of special materials such as Vicuna or Shell Cordovan are final sales and cannot be returned, safe for the rare occurrence that the item is defective in some way.

In the case a return is required due to size or simply because the product is not to your liking, however, we do offer a service where we can make the item orderable for another customer and sell it forward for you providing it is kept in pristine condition.

Handcrafted in Italy

Located in Corridonia, Italy is a small family owned and operated atelier that has been making exceptional footwear with a focus on quality and construction since 1905. Excellence in shoemaking has been an obsession and never-ending quest that has spanned three generations of this family. As skills are passed from generation to generation there is an insistence to remain in-touch with developments in technology to ensure that both worlds, old and new are always respected in order to achieve the highest quality, most comfortable and longest lasting purpose built shoes. Currently led by the granddaughter of the founder, it was clear from our first interaction that this team of masters fully understood our raison d'etre at Archibald and relished an opportunity to work with us and allow more people to experience the difference their expertise and craft can make in terms of end-product.
