Some shoes chase trends. The Florsheim Como Moc Toe Bit Loafer has simply outlasted them - a bestseller since 1979, and still one of the most recognizable loafers in the Florsheim lineup nearly half a century later. It's a design that owes its staying power to a brand that's been building shoes in Chicago since 1892, when Milton Florsheim set the standard that comfort and craftsmanship should never have to compete.
The soft black nappa leather upper is genuinely handsewn, finished with the loafer's signature detail: a horseshoe-shaped bit across the strap that has defined the Como's silhouette since it was introduced. Leather linings keep the interior breathable, and an elastic gore hidden under the tongue adds a subtle give that makes the fit more forgiving without altering the shoe's clean profile. A fully cushioned footbed delivers comfort through long days, while the buffed leather sole gives the shoe the polished, formal presence that's kept it in steady rotation for over four decades.
It's the loafer that belongs in a well-built wardrobe not because it's new, but because it's proven - sharp with a suit, easy with tailored trousers, and just as at home on a Friday as it is in the boardroom.
Available in D (medium) and 3E (wide) widths, sizes 8-15.
FAQs
Is the Florsheim Como Moc Toe Bit Loafer true to size?
The Como typically runs true to size. It's offered in D (medium) and 3E (wide) widths, so if you usually need extra room, select the wide width rather than sizing up. The elastic gore under the tongue also adds a small amount of forgiving stretch.
What is the horseshoe bit detail on the Como Loafer?
The bit is the horseshoe-shaped metal hardware set across the strap of the shoe - a design detail that has defined the Como since its introduction and remains one of the most recognizable features of Florsheim's loafer lineup.
Does the Como Loafer come in other colors?
Currently, Black is the only colorway offered for this style. If you're looking for a similar horsebit loafer in a different tone, it's worth checking Florsheim's other loafer lines or checking back, as colorway availability can change seasonally.
Can the Como Bit Loafer be worn with a suit, or is it more casual?
Both. The handsewn nappa leather and polished buffed sole give it enough formality for a suit or sport coat, while the slip-on ease and classic bit detail make it just as natural with chinos or tailored trousers for a smart-casual look.
What material is the Como Loafer made from?
The upper is soft nappa leather, genuinely handsewn, with leather linings throughout. The sole is a buffed leather sole, and an elastic gore under the tongue adds comfort-driven stretch.
How do I care for nappa leather loafers like this one?
Wipe down after wear with a soft, dry cloth, and condition periodically with a leather cream to keep the nappa leather soft and prevent it from drying out. 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.
