Your feet, not to mention your eyes, will love Ralph Lauren's Garda loafers. The padded footbed offers built-in comfort; the outsole, dependability with its unique rubber dot detailing. Of course the pebbled tread pattern also gives the ultimate traction, plus flexibility seldom found outside the realm of athletic footwear. A superb outsole, however, is rather wasted unless the shoe's upper feels just as good, if not even better.
Few leathers are as supple and comfortable, yet still durable, as the high quality genuine calfskin uppers of Ralph Lauren Garda men's loafers. Not only is it handsomely attractive leather, calfskin can take all sorts of punishing wear, yet still be conditioned back to its original appearance. It is soft, yes--but also tough and long-lasting. With the superior materials and crafting of the outsoles, insoles, and uppers, comfort and durability is "a given." The Garda loafer is striking in appearance, as well.
Coming from the Ralph Lauren Purple Label footwear, the Garda men's loafer is made in Italy--handsomely crafted by the world's finest artisans. The metal stirrup-like device on the inner mid-step is attached by its strap to a buckle on the opposite side. The striking effect is reminiscent of saddle apparatus, without looking country-western. It is the versatility of the design which gives this lovely shoe its charm.
On the whole, with comfortable flexibility and soft, strong leather, along with the exceptional craftsmanship, your feet and eyes will love the Ralph Lauren Garda loafers. Others' eyes will too!
