Style | Beckett Simonon Review | Cohen Loafers
Hey! It's Derek Johnson with DerekGrownManStyle!
Listen, I did NOT like loafers! For years I avoided the casual, low cut style of shoe completely and wrote it off as a "old man's unstylish shoe". Fast forward a couple of decades of age and style maturity and I have FALLEN IN LOVE with the Cohen loafers from Beckett Simonon!!
Usually loafers are either too casual (what I always thought of them), or only suitable for warm weather. The opposite is true about the Cohen loafers which are perfect when I'm moving about the office during the work week or chilling out with friends on the weekend.
I received the Cohen Loafers in Bordeaux (that's fancy for burgundy) and the color is magical to say the least. I've styled these a number of ways and they never cease to grab compliments around the office.
Here are some of the specs that make these shoes such a "must have" for your footwear collection:
The uppers are wholecut full-grain Argentinian leather for a clean, sleek profile.
An interior suede heel patch prevents slippage and chafing.
The almond-shaped toe creates a contemporary, "smart casual" look. This is what I'm most impressed about. These don't look like your typical loafer. The form factor from front to back elevates them far above their closest contenders.
A thin saddle over the vamp helps preserve classic lines.
Most of my shoes are lace ups so these easy to slip on loafers are such a welcome break from the bending and tying.
This is what you need to know about Beckett Simonon as a shoe company and why they create the perfect investment shoes to level up your closet:
