The Original Loafer
In 1924, the Nettleton Shoe Company introduced the first ever loafer. The loafer was patented and trademark; consequently, the word loafer became synonymous with Nettleton and the loafer style became the benchmark for the industry. The Savannah is the Nettleton original loafer. The styling of the Savannah is the same as was it was in 1924. The Charleston style has the same pattern as the Savanah but it is a two-tone color. The only changes made to the Nettleton original loafers since 1924 is to accommodate our clients. According to research published in journal eLIfe, men’s feet in the last one hundred years have become stronger and more athletic. Nettleton uses up-to-date research and technology when crafting its shoes to adjust with the changes in the modern gentleman’s feet. Many shoemakers tout their loafers, but only one—Nettleton—can claim to be the original loafer and standard bearer for luxury classic loafer.
