Casual, comfortable loafer style favored by everyone from James Dean to Elvis
The Patnoflex Loafer has been a bestseller on our site for years—and for good reason. Buttery soft nubuck uppers sourced from Europe, bovine leather lining that molds to your foot over time, and the kind of easywearing versatility that pairs just as well with shorts as it does a full suit for outdoor weddings. This time, Astorflex upped the ante by swapping their traditional leather outsoles with 100% natural crepe for springy comfort underfoot. Just another reason they’re our go-to loafers no matter what we’re gettin’ up to.

About Astorflex
When you take top-grade, eco-conscious leather sourced from Tuscany’s master tanneries and pair it with the meticulous art of Italian craftsmanship, you get nothing short of an Astorflex shoe. Nestled in the small Northern Italian town of Castel D’ario (Mantova) since the 19th century, Astorflex is a family endeavor that’s been elevating the shoe game for six generations. From suede desert boots to everyday leather chukkas, each custom style is handbuilt to the Travenzoli family’s legendary standards. In fact, when we first discovered their criminally underrated chukkas a while back, they shipped each order with a box of pasta from their family-run restaurant. Basically, any shoemaker can put Italian leather on rubber soles and call it a day, but few can turn those same materials into a walking work of art. And that’s just what Astroflex does.
