For over 100 years the substantial sturdiness of the label's Goodyear welt has been the foundation of its American craft. To create a shoe that's sleeker and more flexible, the label turned to Italy, home of the Bologna construction. With this technique, the leather upper is fully wrapped around the foot, creating a glove-like fit and a lighter style that bends and responds to your movements. Using fewer layers of material, it delivers a more streamlined, lower profile. The result is an impeccably sharp loafer that looks as good as it feels. 360º Goodyear split reverse welt construction for stability and durability Leather upper and lining/rubber sole Made in Italy
