Ava | Women's Knit Mesh Loafers – Gold Bar Trim, Cushioned Sole

The loafer that walks like a trainer.

A classic loafer shape built on a sports sole: white midsole, gum rubber at the toe and heel, and a tread that grips instead of sliding on smooth floors. The upper is an open knit mesh that lets air move through, which is the difference between wearing loafers in February and wearing them in February in Queensland. A gold snaffle bar sits across the vamp and does the dressing up on its own.

Why you'll love it

Knit mesh upper - Air moves through the weave, so your feet stay cool in the heat.
Gold bar trim - One polished detail that lifts the whole shoe above a plain flat.
Gum rubber tread - Real grip on tiles, timber and wet footpaths.
Cushioned midsole - Sneaker comfort under a shoe that still looks tailored.

Perfect for

Office days that end in a long walk to the station, city breaks and travelling, where one pair has to cover the museum and the dinner. Wear them with cropped jeans and a bare ankle, or with wide leg trousers for a softer, dressier line.

Frequently asked questions

Are these warm in summer?
Less than a solid upper. The knit is open enough for air to pass through, which is why this style sells as a warm weather loafer rather than a winter one.

Do they slip off at the heel?
The collar is padded and sits close, and the shape holds through the arch. If you have a narrow heel, an invisible sock takes up the last bit of room.

How do I clean the mesh?
Brush the surface dry first, then use a barely damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct sun. Skip the washing machine, it flattens the weave.
