Élina Moccasins with Lug Sole

Shoes that look perfect in the shop window and make you wince by three o'clock — it's time that stopped!

Picture a pair you slip on in the morning without thinking, wear across the market, through a stand-up meeting and on to an impromptu dinner, and take off in the evening thinking: I didn't even feel them. Stop dreaming. The Élina Loafers combine the look of a classic loafer with the comfort of a thick sole designed for walking, not for standing still.

• Cushioning cleated sole
  The platform absorbs the shock of every step instead of sending it back to the heel and knee. You gain a few centimetres without ever standing on a heel, and end-of-day fatigue no longer creeps up in the same way.
• On in three seconds
  No laces, no buckle, no shoehorn to hunt for at the bottom of the hallway. You slip them on standing up, coat already on, and off you go. That's exactly why they end up in front of the other shoes in the wardrobe.
• Soft suede look
  The upper flexes from the very first steps instead of needing two weeks to break in. No breaking-in period, no plaster on the little toe: the foot finds its place straight away, and the stitching keeps the line neat over the months.
• Reassuring grip
  The cleats bite into wet tarmac, supermarket tiles and November leaves. You walk with a firm step, without that little cautious reflex that slows you down on slippery soles.
• Seven colours to combine
  From timeless black to soft beige, from deep burgundy to sage green. Every pair goes well with straight-leg jeans or fluid trousers, and slots into an outfit you've already put together without disturbing anything.

We often think a thick sole makes the leg look heavy. Here the opposite is true: the round toe and low line refine the ankle and lengthen the silhouette, with none of the sporty look you're not after. That's why the Élina don't stay in their box. These are the loafers you reach for on Monday morning, then Wednesday morning, then Saturday morning — and end up choosing in a second colour.
