Blake Cleated Leather Loafers

The word 'essential' is thrown around all too lightly these days, but a pair of black leather loafers? No other word sums up our Blake shoes better. In soft leather with a classic tab to the front, they're the do-it-all style we can't be without. They're also really comfortable – thank you, lightweight cleated soles.
