FENIGLIA

The calf leather is noticeably softer than the pair I had before, and the shape feels balanced enough to wear with both jeans and tailored trousers. No break-in blisters at all, which I wasn't expecting from a leather loafer.

Wore these straight out of the box for a nine-hour workday and my feet never complained once. The shape is sleek without being pointy, and you can tell the stitching was done by hand.

Wore these to a wedding right out of the box and danced for three hours with zero break-in pain. The leather sole flexes nicely and the shape reads dressy without looking clunky.
