Featuring a classic loafer silhouette, this design showcases a round toe and distinctive horsebit detail, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe. Crafted from hand-burnished calfskin leather and lined with soft leather, it balances elegance with durability. The genuine handsewn moccasin construction ensures superior comfort and a refined finish, while the oil-treated leather provides resistance against water and abrasion. Perfectly pairs with slacks or chinos for effortless style.
From the brand: Rancourt is a family of Maine shoemakers who still make their shoes the authentic way, by hand. The Rancourt family has been making genuine hand sewn moccasins in Lewiston, Maine, for three generations. Starting with Dave Rancourt, and continuing today with co-founders, Mike and Kyle Rancourt.
The horsebit loafer is one of those timeless pairs of shoes that embodies preppy style. One of the first styles to bridge the gap between dress and casual, some would say that you never wear these loafers with socks. Pair them with slacks or chinos, with a polo or oxford shirt, with a crewneck or a quarter-zip — anything goes with this classic silhouette.
