Super-comfortable slip-on shoes, handcrafted in a 7th-generation Italian workshop
The Patnoflex is one of our go-to men’s loafers. This previous fit is perfect to wear with a sock in the colder months, with a slightly wider profile to accommodate. As comfy as walking on a cloud, their versatility is off the charts, too—we’ve worn ours with everything from jeans and a jacket to a suit at weddings. Handsome as hell, buttery soft, and crafted from top-notch materials, this is the best value on the market for our money.
Features
Ideal fit for wearing with a sock in fall and winter
Soft, premium leather from Europe
Grippy rubber heel
Environmentally responsible construction
Handmade in Northern Italy by the same family for seven generations
Materials
Because these loafers are handmade and hand-finished, the loafers you receive might appear lighter or darker than in the images on this page. Due to the way the oil dries, darkens, and affects the leather used for these shoes, there’s bound to be some color variations. You can oil them yourself with vegetable or mink oil or send them into a shoe repair shop or cobbler to have them professionally oiled to achieve a darker color.
Please note, the Astorflex shoebox may be labeled as "Dark Chestnut" - the color is the same as Nubuck.
Rubber heel
Premium leather upper
Undyed leather lining
Ergonomic footbed
Sizing
Our previous fit is perfect to wear with a sock in the colder months, with a slightly wider fit to accommodate
We recommend taking a half size down from your sneaker size, or the same size you take in leather shoes to find the perfect fit
The Patnoflex Loafer should fit snug at first and the leather will conform to your foot as they break in

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 awhile 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. For your next pair of go-tos, you’ve come to the right place.
