Black Gold Wing Loafer
4.8 / 5 (124 reviews)Product Details
The Black Gold Wing Loafer is a statement dress loafer, black calf with gilded wing detailing across the vamp. Same welted construction as our plain loafers, so the shoe under the flourish is genuinely well made. For evenings and events where the shoes should lead.
A statement, on a serious base
The gold detailing lifts a classic penny loafer into evening territory. The black keeps it wearable; the gold gives it the flair. Because it is applied by hand rather than printed, the detailing has depth and small variations that keep it from looking cheap. See the rest of our loafers.
How it is built
Goodyear welted and hand stitched, so the leather sole is stitched on and can be resoled for years. Smooth black calf upper with gilded wing detailing, stacked leather heel, hand finishing throughout. Made to order so the fit is built for your foot.
Fit and sizing
True to size on our round last. Loafers fit snug from new and relax slightly with wear; between sizes, size down half. Measure against our men's size guide.
How to wear black and gold
Keep the outfit calm so the shoes lead. All black, charcoal or deep navy work best, a dark suit for events or dark denim and a blazer for a night out. Match socks to trousers or go sockless in summer.
Care
Wipe the gold gently with a dry soft cloth after wear and keep polish off it when you brush the black calf; gold hates abrasion. Store with shoe trees, rest a day between wears, and the finish stays bright for years.
FAQ
Are black gold wing loafers formal?
The black base is formal and versatile, while the gold detailing makes them a statement piece. They work best for evenings, parties and events rather than conservative business settings, though a confident dresser can carry them with a dark suit.
What do you wear with black and gold loafers?
Keep the outfit simple so the shoes lead. All black, charcoal or deep navy work best, whether a dark suit for events or dark denim and a blazer for a night out. Match socks to trousers, or go sockless in summer.
Can these be resoled?
Yes, by any competent cobbler. Welted construction means the sole is replaceable, so these are loafers you keep rather than replace.
How do I keep the gold detailing bright?
Wipe the gold elements gently with a dry soft cloth after wear, and keep polish off them when you brush the black calf. Gold leaf and gilding hate abrasion, so store the shoes with trees and away from friction.
