Meet The Luca in Caramel by Adelante, a men’s penny loafer that brings buttery full-grain leather and Goodyear-welted construction to a warm, versatile colorway. Handcrafted in Guatemala and made-to-order, this Luca is a natural upgrade if you’re replacing flimsy loafers with something built to last.
Materials & Construction: The Luca in Caramel uses full-grain leather for the upper, calfskin lining, a vegetable-tanned soling leather midsole, and high-density memory-foam insoles. A stacked leather heel and Goodyear-welted sole with high-density EVA and rubber finish give the shoe structure, traction, and full resolability. The classic penny bridge and sleek toe shape provide just the right amount of dressy refinement.
Why It’s Good: Adelante’s made-to-order, living-wage model and use of durable, vegetable-tanned or certified leathers keep sustainability and ethics built into The Luca. Goodyear welts and high-quality materials encourage years of re-soling and conditioning, not replacement. A caramel loafer is especially versatile, complementing navy, olive, denim, and grey, so one thoughtfully made pair can anchor countless outfits.
Style Notes: Style The Luca in Caramel by Adelante with navy chinos and a chambray shirt for the office, or with jeans and a lightweight knit for weekends. The warm leather instantly elevates simple basics and looks great with both casual and smart-casual looks.
