Loafers

Quince's men's loafers span classic and casual silhouettes across calfskin, Italian leather, suede, and recycled knit materials. Penny loafers carry a small slot across the vamp, while horsebit loafers feature a metal hardware detail across the front. Driving loafers have handsewn moccasin construction with an Ortholite® footbed. Mariner loafers are refined suede slip-ons with Blake-stitched construction. Water-resistant boat shoes, slip-ons, and mule styles round out the lineup.

A penny loafer has a small slot or saddle across the vamp (historically held a penny). A horsebit loafer carries a small metal bit across the vamp — a polished, equestrian-inspired detail. A driving loafer has a flexible moccasin upper, often with a handsewn moc construction and cushioned footbed — originally designed for driving and now worn as a soft everyday slip-on.

Calfskin and Italian leather loafers run true to size and ease with wear as the leather softens. Suede styles fit similarly with a bit more give from day one. The Recycled Knit Driving Loafer has a breathable knit upper that fits closer to the foot than leather. Each product page lists size-specific guidance.

Calfskin penny and horsebit loafers — many with Blake-stitched construction — lean polished and suit office, work-from-anywhere, and dress-down business looks. Driving loafers, Mariner styles, slip-ons, and recycled knit drivers are softer and more casual for weekends, travel days, and warm-weather wear. Boat shoes bridge work and warm-weather casual.

The Water Repellent Clog Mule and Water Resistant Leather Boat Shoe are designed to handle damp conditions. Calfskin, Italian leather, and suede loafers are not waterproof — treat them with a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged wet wear to prevent staining.

For calfskin and Italian leather, wipe with a damp cloth after each wear and condition every few months with a leather balm to maintain suppleness. For suede styles, brush with a suede brush after each wear and apply a suede protector spray seasonally. Air-dry away from direct sun if they get damp.
