{"product_id":"the-horsebit-loafer-black-calf","title":"The Horsebit Loafer - Black Calf","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt on the same last as our penny loafers, The Horsebit Loafer is finished with a metal bit detail across the vamp. Goodyear welted on a single leather sole and fully lined in leather. A classic silhouette informed by 1950s design, reworked with contemporary proportions, and equally at home with a suit or a worn pair of jeans. Handcrafted in Almansa, Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted by hand in Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodyear welted construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver horsebit ornament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper in box calf leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull leather lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle leather sole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eFits large in size\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe recommend selecting half a size down from what you usually wear in lace-up shoes.

The heel should feel secure, with no slipping, while the toe box should allow for a slight amount of movement. A snug fit offers better support, reduces excessive movement, enhances the shoe’s appearance, and promotes proper foot placement for comfort and stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a few wears, the cork layer in the sole and the leather upper will gradually conform to the shape of your feet, providing an even better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotate between wears and insert shoe trees after use to retain shape and minimise creasing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a shoe horn when putting them on and remove the loafers by hand to protect the heel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrush or wipe the leather upper after wear to remove dust and light surface marks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean with a leather cleaner when needed, then apply a thin layer of cream or polish if the leather looks dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet the leather sole dry at room temperature if it becomes damp and keep away from direct heat sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you expect frequent wear in wet conditions, add a thin rubber sole for extra grip and added longevity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore the loafers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Avelmore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52155196637404,"sku":"118001000","price":102.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0841\/1909\/3468\/files\/1638_d1c801427a-the-horsebit-loafer-black-calf-1b.jpg?v=1785692749","url":"https:\/\/avelmore.store\/products\/the-horsebit-loafer-black-calf","provider":"Avelmore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
