Why 70% off?

The Manofatto family received an offer to sell the brand and move production to a factory line. They refused, and chose to close the workshop instead. Every pair is still bench-lasted by hand in Almansa, Goodyear welted, and built to outlive the brand that made it. This is the final production run at 70% off. Not a promotion. A farewell on their own terms. When the last pair ships, the name retires with it. No restocking. No exceptions.

Description

An apron-front loafer in black calf, softly rounded, with subtle stitching along the seam. Goodyear welted for longevity, with the option to resole rather than replace. The full rubber sole gives dependable traction, over a stacked leather heel and cork filling. Proportions run generous with a secure heel, made for daily wear. Handles a suit for business and knitwear on the weekend.

Details
  • Full-grain calf leather upper
  • Apron front with subtle seam stitching
  • Goodyear welted, built to be resoled
  • Full rubber sole
  • Stacked leather heel and cork filling
  • Generous proportions with a secure heel
Fit & sizing

Fits large in size

We recommend selecting half a size down from what you usually wear in lace-up shoes. Please refer to our Size Guide above or reach out to our customer experience team for detailed sizing guidance.

How your new loafers should feel

Loafers, by design, should fit snugly to compensate for the lack of lacing—without pinching. The heel should feel secure, with no slipping, while the toe box should allow for a slight amount of movement. A snug fit offers better support, reduces excessive movement, enhances the shoe’s appearance, and promotes proper foot placement for comfort and stability.

After a few wears, the cork layer in the sole and the leather upper will gradually conform to the shape of your feet, providing an even better fit.

Care
  • Rotate between wears and insert shoe trees after use to retain shape and minimise creasing.
  • Use a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the heel counter.
  • Wipe the leather upper after wear to remove dust and light surface marks.
  • Apply a matching cream polish occasionally to nourish the leather, then buff to a shine.
  • Use a leather conditioner a few times a year to keep the upper supple.
  • Let them dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Store in the dust bag provided, away from damp and direct light.

How to measure your feet

  1. Wear the socks you typically pair with these shoes.
  2. Place your foot on a piece of paper and trace its outline.
  3. Measure from the heel to the longest toe using a ruler.
  4. Match your measurement to the table above and adjust for foot shape.

The CM and Inch values above correspond to the recommended size based on your foot's length, not the shoe's internal length.

Adjust for foot shape

  • Normal: choose the size closest to your measurement.
  • Wide: choose a half size larger than your nearest measurement.
  • Narrow: choose the smaller size if your measurement falls between two sizes.

One Story. One Final Collection.

For years, Manofatto has been part of moments that deserved something special. Classic shoes, made for those who value elegance, quality, and timeless style.

But every story eventually comes to an end.

We have decided to close Manofatto. Before we close our doors, we want to give you one final opportunity to be part of our story.

Our final collection is now up to 70% OFF.

Once a size is gone, it will not be restocked. This is truly the final opportunity to own a piece of Manofatto.

Because a good pair of shoes was never meant to last just one season. It was made to become part of your story.

Exceptional leather 06/19/26

The full-grain leather is beautiful and only gets better with wear. You can feel the welt is stitched, not glued.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the closing sale, sizing, shipping, returns and warranty.

Manofatto was asked to move production abroad and cut the welt. We refused, and chose to close the workshop instead. Every pair in this final run is now 70% off, already reflected in the price. Not a promotion. A farewell on our own terms.
Every product page has its own size guide with EU, UK, US and centimetre conversions for that specific last. Trace your foot, measure heel to longest toe, and match it to the table. Our loafers fit large, so we usually recommend going half a size down, while the Oxfords and boots run true to size. If you are between sizes, email us at support@manofatto.store before ordering.
No. This is the final production run. Each size was made once and will not be produced again. When a size sells out, it leaves the site for good, so if you find your size available, it is the last time you will.
Every pair is bench-lasted by hand in leather chosen for the model. Construction varies by shoe: our Oxfords, boots and several loafers are Goodyear welted, so the sole is stitched rather than glued and can be resoled for years. Lighter models are Blake stitched for flexibility. The construction of each pair is listed under Details on its product page.
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days. We offer free worldwide shipping, with delivery typically taking 7 to 15 business days depending on your location. You'll receive a tracking link as soon as your order ships.
Every pair is covered by a 1-year craftsmanship warranty on construction, stitching and sole attachment, honoured until the last day, even after the workshop closes. And you have 30 days to return your order for a full refund if the fit is not right. Try them on indoors on a clean surface to keep them returnable. Write to support@manofatto.store to start a return.
