Vince Finola loafers.

What makes a slipper, a slipper?

And what sort of slipper is aloof enough to survive the pandemic, and all its working from home?

Enter the Vince Finola loafers; stepping in as slippers without compromise.

Though a flat shoe by design, their malleability and suede finish mean that for those seeking to pace lock down in slipper comfort, but without the Ugg fur trim, the Vince Finola loafers are an elegant nod to a grandpa slipper, whilst still being allowed out of the house.

With an elongated silhouette, the mouth of the shoe dips on either side of the arch, complimenting the tapered toe, and elevating the slippers from just another pair of ballet flats.

There's something about Vince. Erring on the side of minimal, and unfussy, it manages to keep its expensive look and feel without doing so in any aggressive fashion. The Finola loafer flats aren't explicitly remarkable sitting side by side below the edge of the bed, and yet, their almost puritanical modesty provokes an obsession about their quiet effectiveness.

The way they expose the foot arch.

The way they're impeccably stitched.

The way one can't really leave them alone.

Where the top of the shoe reaches the foot bridge reflects a quiet masculinity synonymous with an old world, gentleman's elegance. Just as everything would change if the top came up any higher, or finished any lower, so too would the subtle notes of masculinity disappear entirely if its mouth was further curved, or straight.

Each aspect of its design is a delicate balance, with the magic of appearing as though it wasn't overly thought out. Their romanticism resides in how at home they appear with a robe and tobacco pipe; their modernity in softening the polished edges of work wear.

For those with a penchant for refinement, who can't find bedroom slippers that hit that note of luxury, the Vince Finola loafer flats are an elevated day to night option, which have the sort of ease that converts to expense under foot, without actually being all that expensive.
