Black Cherry is the kind of color that only reveals itself in the right light - a deep, wine-toned leather that reads nearly black from a distance but opens up into something richer up close. The Florsheim Como Moc Toe Strap Loafer takes that color and builds it into a shoe with real Chicago pedigree, dating to Milton Florsheim's original 1892 promise that comfort and craftsmanship should never be at odds.
The Black Cherry upper is genuine kidskin leather, softer and more supple than standard calfskin, finished with a rich burnishing that deepens the color's natural depth. A decorative dual strap crosses the vamp in the Como's signature style, and the entire shoe is genuinely handsewn - construction that's become the exception rather than the rule in modern loafers. Leather linings keep things breathable, and a durable leather sole rounds out a shoe that's remained a Florsheim Top Seller since 1979.
It's a loafer for the man who's already got a reliable black pair and wants something with more personality in reserve - distinctive enough to be noticed, subtle enough to still read as a classic.
Available in D (medium), and 3E (wide) widths, sizes 8-15.
FAQs
Is the Florsheim Como Moc Toe Strap Loafer true to size?
The Como typically runs true to size. It's offered in D (medium), and 3E (wide) widths - a wider range than most loafers - so choose your usual width rather than sizing up or down.
What's the difference between the Como Strap Loafer and the Como Bit Loafer?
Both are genuinely handsewn Florsheim loafers from the same Como family, but this style features a decorative dual strap across the vamp rather than the horseshoe-shaped bit hardware found on the Como Bit Loafer - a slightly more understated take on the same silhouette.
How does Black Cherry differ from standard black or burgundy?
Black Cherry sits between the two - it reads nearly black in low light but reveals a deep wine undertone up close, giving it more depth than a flat black without the boldness of a true burgundy. It pairs well with the same range of navy, gray, and charcoal that black does.
Can the Como Strap Loafer be worn with a suit, or is it more casual?
It leans dressier than most slip-ons - the handsewn kidskin leather and rich burnishing give it enough formality for a suit or sport coat, while the classic strap detail and slip-on ease keep it comfortable enough for chinos or tailored trousers on a more relaxed day.
What material is the Como Strap Loafer made from?
The upper is genuine kidskin leather with a rich, burnished finish, fully handsewn. Leather linings run throughout for breathability, and the sole is a durable leather sole.
How do I care for Black Cherry kidskin leather loafers like this one?
Wipe down after wear with a soft, dry cloth, and condition periodically with a neutral or burgundy-toned leather cream suited to fine, softer leathers like kidskin. Because the sole is leather rather than rubber, rotate this pair with another so the sole has time to dry between wears, and use cedar shoe trees to help the loafer hold its shape.
