Louisa is a luxury loafer on a driving sole, handmade for us in one of the most respected factories in Portugal. They have been making our mens moccasins for years so we knew that our first ladies moccasins had to come from them. To add some extra luxury Louisa features our Herring shield motif on the heel and there is an extra padded insole. If you are new to Herring then this is a great place to start - exceptional craftsmanship and superb value. As these are loafers, the last is slightly tighter than a standard fit to allow your foot to stretch the suede without the shoe then slipping from your heel but we would still recommend you order your normal size, just be aware the initial fit might be snug. If you like your shoes to fit looser, like a slipper, you might want to go up a size.
