Men’s Loafers | The Perfect Summer Shoe

As we look forward to the Summer months and the prospect of holidays whether it be local or travelling abroad our footwear choices change with the men’s loafer being a obvious selection. A slip on staple across the Barker shoe collections for the Spring / Summer seasons, the loafer and/or moccasin is a lace less favourite that can be worn in many ways. From Tassel Loafers to accompany suiting at weddings or formal events to casual Penny Loafers worn with T-Shirt and shorts, the Barker Loafer collection is extensive.

The origins of the loafer trace back to the London-based bespoke shoe company Wildsmith Shoes who designed a slip on shoe for King George VI as a casual house shoe. The Wildsmith Loafer was designed by Raymond Lewis Wildsmith and has subsequently been sold by other London shoe companies under the name ‘Harrow’.

Other origins of the loafer takes us to Scandinavia where Aurland-based shoemaker Nils Gregoriusson Tveranger designed a loafer in 1908 that was originally worn by Norwegian farmers. In 1930, Tveranger developed his design having been inspired by Native American footwear and named his creation the Aurland Moccasin which became popular throughout Europe.

In 1934, Maine-based shoemaker G.H Bass made a Tveranger inspired loafer and named it Weejun in homage to its Norwegian heritage. This G.H. Bass reinterpretation became penny loafer style we adore today as the colloquial Penny Loafer name was introduced in 1950s America when the Weejun became the shoe of choice for college students who thought it fashionable to keep a dime in the half moon cut out slot of the leather strip.

Barker loafers for men feature in several of the Barker collections including the Handcrafted, Creative and Professional collections. A firm favourite across the Barker collections is the Penny Loafer with the Caruso being a notable Goodyear welted style made in the Barker shoe factory located in Earls Barton, Northampton (England). The Caruso is the longest running Barker style having been introduced in the early 1960s. Designed by a member of the Barker family, Albert Barker took inspiration from the American Ivy League classic making the Caruso on the number 10 last from polished leather on a full leather sole. Available in Black and Burgundy Hi-Shine the Caruso is a timeless classic that can be worn dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The Caruso is the archival style behind the BOEB Archive collection Mear Penny Loafer except this is made from premium fine grain and suede leather on a British Dainite rubber sole.

Popular Barker Penny loafers include the Gates (BarkerTech collection), Jevington (Handcrafted collection) and Portsmouth (Professional collection) which are made from a variety of premium calf and suede leathers on a choice of leather or Dainite rubber soles. Another slip on staple within the Barker shoe range is the Tassel Loafer which came to be from a commission made by the Alden Shoe Company for actor Paul Lukas  The tassel loafer is has an elegant silhouette and is available in the Barker collection in the form of the Clive, Newborough and Studland styles.

The horsebit loafer is another slip on style made famous by the Italian luxury fashion house Gucci. Barker’s take on the horsebit loafer (Frank) is a recent addition to the Barker Creative collection and features a Goodyear welted construction, single leather sole and tasteful brass saddle detailing. The Barker Moccasin collection remains popular with the Doug, Jefferson, Ledley and Tony styles available in several colourways. Discover your perfect Summer shoe at Barker online.

Brogue Shoe Styling Guide For Men

The brogue shoe is steeped in British history having originally been worn by Scottish and Irish farmers as an outdoor shoe for removing bog water when crossing wetlands. The brogue name comes from the Irish word brog meaning ‘a rough or stout shoe ’and the term supposedly originated from the perception that the Irish spoke as if they had ‘a shoe in their mouths’.

For a long time, the brogue was seen as a Country style worn outdoors for hiking and working but never in town. How the men’s brogue was worn gradually changed as it was seen in a setting that was previously unfamiliar.

Today the identifiable hole punching design of a brogue is mainly for decoration than function but the shoe itself remains unchanged. The brogue is a firm favourite in both the Oxford shoe and Derby shoe style and features in several of the Barker ranges including the Archive, BarkerTech, Creative and Professional collections.

Exploring the current Barker collection you’ll discover several types of brogue including the full brogue (also known as a wingtip), semi brogue, quarter brogue and the longwing brogue.
