A dressy shoe that hurts after an hour has not earned its place by your front door!

Just imagine a black loafer with a quiet crocodile grain, refined enough for an appointment and soft enough to stay on all day. Now stop imagining, because the Patricia loafers are hand-assembled, with the even finish you notice long before you can name it.

• A Discreet Croc Grain
  The worked texture catches the light just enough, without ever tipping into showy. The black stays understated and the grain does the rest.
• Cushioned Insole
  The padding reduces pressure under the heel and the ball of the foot — the two places that tire first. Your foot settles instead of striking.
• Breathable Lining
  The lining lets air circulate and keeps your foot dry, even after several hours. That damp end-of-day feeling is simply gone.
• Light, Flexible Sole
  It bends exactly where your foot bends, which protects your balance and your natural stride. You walk as you always do, just better shod.
• Carefully Made
  Each pair is put together by hand, and you can see it in the clean stitching and the even edges. This is a shoe built to last several seasons.

Dressy black stops being a punishment for your feet. These settle in quickly as the default pair — the ones you put on when you would rather not think about it at all.
