- 5771 WHITE
The Sigotto Uomo 5771 in white is a men's slip-on loafer in white aniline leather, hand-woven into a texture that lets air move through the upper. It has a breathable leather lining, a cushioned leather insole and a flexible rubber sole, and it is hand-stitched and handcrafted in Istanbul, Turkey. It runs true to size in a standard width and comes in US sizes 8 through 13.
Craftsmanship
Sigotto Uomo handcrafts its whole collection in Istanbul, and the 5771 is hand-stitched. The upper is premium aniline leather, a minimally treated leather that keeps the hide's natural surface and is valued for its softness. It is hand-woven into a texture that makes the shoe lighter and more breathable, a difference you notice in warm weather and over long hours. The white keeps the look clean and fresh, and the weave adds texture without feeling heavy. Underneath, a flexible rubber sole keeps movement soft, whether you are walking all day or standing for long stretches. Inside, a cushioned leather insole and a breathable leather lining keep it comfortable from the first step to the last. As with all natural leather, small variations in tone and texture are part of the material's character.
Heritage
Woven leather has a long history in Mediterranean shoemaking, valued for its texture and for keeping the foot cool in warm weather. White leather loafers have long been a part of summer dressing on the coast, worn with linen and light cotton. The 5771 in white brings those traditions together in a loafer built for the warmest months.
Styling
The white 5771 is a summer shoe. Wear it with navy, stone or white linen trousers and an open-collar shirt, or with light chinos and a polo for a weekend by the water. It also works with a light-colored summer suit for a garden party or resort wedding. Keep the rest of the outfit light, and wear it with no-show socks or bare ankles.
