Rapallo - Dark Brown Suede
Get the perfect fit
Average or narrow foot? We recommend choosing one size down. For a wider foot, stay true to size.
If you're unsure, size down. A slightly snug loafer will soften and mould to your foot over time, while a loose one will never tighten up.

Penny Loafer
The penny loafer is a slip-on shoe without laces, with a low heel, a moccasin-style upper and a leather strap across the front. That strap has a small slot cut into it, which is where the name comes from: in the 1950s, American students tucked a penny into the slot, and the name stuck. Penny loafers can be worn for both casual and semi-formal occasions and are usually made from leather or suede.
Featured Materials
Artisan Rubber
The Artisans sole is a signature Reinhard Frans exclusive, from a unique blend of natural rubber. The profile runs thin, so the shoe sits close to the ground without the bulk of a traditional rubber sole. The orange inserts at heel and toe are reinforced contact points, the areas that take the most wear. Quieter than leather on hard floors, more grip on stone.
Restore that showroom look
Quick & Easily
Regularly brush your shoes with a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap of the suede.
Brush in the same direction to avoid damaging the fibers.
Spray shoes with a suede protector. This will create a barrier against water, stains, and dirt.
If your shoes get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat.
Tough Stains- Apply a small amount of white vinegar to a cloth and dab the stain.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a shoe tree to maintain the shape
