How does it fit?

—Made on the CHRISTOPHER LAST
Round & roomy toe box, subtle arch support.

We recommend choosing half a size down from your usual lace-up size — loafers should fit snug.
Check the Size Guide above or contact us for tailored advice.

If you have a low instep; consider adding a pair of tongue pads for a better fit.

Based on a vintage 1970s loafer last uncovered in our factory’s basement — reworked by Lennertson in 2025 into something distinctly our own.

Break-in Time

+/- 2 walking hours. With traditional Goodyear welt construction, a leather sole, and a laceless design, these loafers require some but relatively little break-in.

Great casual style loafers

I like the choice of leather, simply because pebbled texture hides creases and scratches quite well.
I also like the last, my feet are on wider side, which puts me troubles finding well fitting loafers.
I felt these are heavier than leather sole loafers, but this is totally acceptable as more materials are used for these. On top of leather midsole, there's thick rubber outsole which should guarantee longer lifestyle before resole.
Initially wider welts were looking awkward, but they are what the shoes looking more casual.
Overall great casual loafers!

Ganz tolle Schuhe, top Beratung!

Die Schuhe fühlen sich gleich beim ersten Anfassen super an. Top Verarbeitung, schöne Details (die Naht an der Ferse!😍). Absolut lohnender Kauf 👍

Durch die Beratung auch perfekte Größe und Passform, das ist ja gerade bei Loafern gar nicht so einfach (Danke Robin). 10/10

The Perfect Smart Casual Loafer

When I opened the box, I could not believe how premium these loafers felt. They are actually my very first pair of loafers. I wanted a pair I could wear with chinos, trousers, and shorts, so I was always hesitant to buy smooth leather in black or brown.

Well, let me tell you, these are just perfect. Lennertson nailed the color, quality, and finish. The fit is snug and perfect for wearing with no show socks or thin dress socks. I followed the size advice on their website, and it all worked out.

I highly recommend these loafers to anyone who has always been hesitant to buy a pair. Trust me, I am not an office kind of guy. I prefer a smart casual look, valuing quality items that lean casual with a touch of formal when needed. These loafers are great for that. I saw another pair of shoes on their website in a similar suede leather, and I am glad they used it for the Tutor Loafer.

A perfect choice.

These Tutor loafers come with a goodyear welt. This makes them a little wider, more robust, more modern, more masculine, more bold. I wear them with a suit, with chinos or with jeans. Each time I get compliments. A perfect choice.

Perfect Tutor

I have the Walnut Brown version and absolutely love them. The leather is spot on and they are very well-made. The removable Kilties and tassels are genius and offer a lot of options to play with the appaearance. I followed the sizing advise and they fit very well.

Outstanding Loafer

I like the loafer very much. The quality is outstanding, just like my other shoes from the company. I followed the advice and ordered them half a size smaller.
I had to wear them a few times in order to wear them in. After having done this they are very comfortable. I am sure they will last a long time. The prize is justified for what you get.
I can recommend this shoe. I also like the opportunity to change the appearance with the available accessories. That’s a great idea

Classic in style, but then not so classic

Though classic in style, they are also quite contemporary in the way they are brought.
They definitely don't look like an old pair, and don't make you feel or old-fashioned .
The beautiful grain of the leather, the modern cut, the thick sturdy sole, and the fun little accessories make them really quite nice.
I love them !

First impression

I went into their pop-up store in Ghent. The gentleman behind the counter took his time explaining all the design choices that went into making the shoe. After a one hour conversation (i was interested and also asked loads of questions) i tried on some shoes. They really do feel premium. At first i wanted to think some more about wether or not i wanted to buy the shoe, i went outside to grab a coffee but immediately returned to buy my first pair. Still my favourite pair to wear until this day!!

Awesome Loafer!

This loafer is something special because it’s a little wider and therefore perfect for any kind of feet.

I love the way the black leather patinas over time and the quality is absolutely top notch! Can’t recommend this shoe enough!

FAQ

Where is Lennertson located?

We're a Belgian-Dutch company based in the North-Eastern Limburg area of Belgium. Here we do our everyday work like designing shoes and communicating with customers.
Lennertson is also made up of the countless people who contribute to our mission. Be it our lastmaker in England, our craftspeople in Spain and Portugal, or you who wears our shoes anywhere in the world.

Ethical labor: What is Lennertson's policy?

We grew up in working-class families and greatly admire the men and women who make our footwear. Fair & safe labor conditions are essential to us. We produce locally within the European Union, where the highest standards of these laws and rights are applied. We choose to only collaborate with companies that share our values. Being close allows us to visit frequently and maintain a close relationship with all our partners.

Sustainable fashion: Where does Lennertson source materials?

We source our leather traditional tanneries in Europe. European tanneries are strictly regulated by the European Environmental Agency, resulting in far more environmentally friendly tanning practices than in many other parts of the world. We only use leathers that are a side-product of the meat industry.

As part of our design process, we’re always discovering unique leathers and tanneries.
Here are some we frequently work with: Boaventura (Portugal), Alaska (Italy), Oehler (Germany), Annonay (France), Dafar (Serbia), Sciarada (Italy), Puccini (Italy), and more.

Our rubber soles are made by local European, family-run businesses as well.

Regarding footwear sustainability, construction methods are equally important to sourcing. Our shoes are Goodyear welted, with stitched soles instead of glued. This results in far more sustainable shoes that will last you a very long time and are endlessly repairable.

'Handmade': Why are there imperfections in my shoes?

This question isn't actually asked frequently because customers fall in love with our shoes from the moment they open the box.

Lennertson shoes and boots are made in a traditional and artisanal way.

The process involves a lot of handcraft, and when machines are used, it's always a person's hand guiding the shoe. As such, it's perfectly possible for you to see slight imperfections: two stitches that are not the exact same size, slight color variations, etc.

A computer makes things perfect. A human makes things with passion, care, and unique character. That's how we see it, and we believe you will too.

We also choose to work with 'natural leathers'—uncorrected grain that isn't overly processed or coated. Its surface structure should not be perfectly uniform; but may include natural blemishes and marks reflecting its origins. Our leathers look and feel authentic because they are—made from an animal's skin.
