Set at the foot of the Italian Alps, the Como region of Italy has long stood for a certain kind of understated elegance - and it's the namesake Florsheim chose for a loafer built to match. The Como Moc Toe Strap Loafer in Black carries that name into a Chicago shoemaking tradition dating to 1892, when Milton Florsheim built his reputation on the belief that comfort and craftsmanship belonged in the same shoe.
The black upper is genuine kidskin leather, prized for its softness and finished with a rich burnishing that gives the shoe real depth of tone. A decorative dual strap crosses the vamp - the Como's signature detail - while the entire shoe is genuinely handsewn, a construction method that's grown rare as most loafers have moved to machine assembly. Leather linings keep the interior breathable, and a durable leather sole gives the shoe the polished, formal presence that's made it a Florsheim Top Seller since 1979.
It's the loafer for the man who notices construction, not just silhouette - sharp enough for a boardroom, and refined enough that the details reward a closer look.
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.
Is black the most versatile colorway in the Como Strap line?
Yes - black is the more formal-leaning of the two colorways, pairing naturally with any suit or sport coat, making it the standard choice for business and dressier occasions.
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 kidskin leather loafers like this one?
Wipe down after wear with a soft, dry cloth, and condition periodically with a leather cream suited to fine, softer leathers like kidskin, since it can be more delicate than standard calfskin. 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.
