You'll want to nestle your feet in Del Toro's Cognac Suede Milano Loafer.
I have a uniform, a set of go-to pieces that, depending on the season, I reach for in the morning before I trek to my 9 to 5. In the cold months, the rotation consists of skinny jeans in black or gray, cinched by belts with pronounced buckles; a hoodie or a beefy top, usually with a long raglan sleeve; and a pair of cowboy boots or leopard-printed ankle boots with a two-inch heel.
I ended up returning my brother’s Del Toro loafers, but I was so taken by the look that I bought a pair of tan suede driving shoes from Tod’s with a gift card. Those stayed in my rotation for many summers until the brand’s signature Gommino soles gave out. I would later added stuff from Donald J. Pliner, Sanayi 313, Florsheim, Sperry, Buane, Marc Fisher, Saint Laurent, and even Prada—all of them slight variations of the same style.
In the middle of our very casual conversation, I caught a glimpse of a tan shoe in a bag beside him. I was instantly taken by the color, needless to say, as well the red stitching on the back of the shoe, a detail that can be found in all of the brand’s designs. It was a Belgian-style loafer, though the brand calls it Milano. The surface was so soft and buttery, and the piping was so pristine. I was smitten.
A few weeks later, I acquired my own pair of Milanos. I just had to do it. With all the different kinds of loafers I owned already, from moccasins to the kiltie, the Belgian-style, so marked for piping and a little bow on the vamp, was something I never tried. The shoes certainly have a more distinguished appearance than the rest of my collection, and after putting them on, are also one of the most comfortable.
I’ve since sported them at the office, at events, and, as of last night, at a restaurant on the Upper East Side of New York, where I saw a man with the same Del Toro Milanos. He had on chinos, a checkered shirt, and a Patagonia vest. His uniform couldn’t have been more different from mine. But, as I had come to find, he also only wears tan loafers in the summer.
