Tod’s metal-embellished loaders will put a spring in your step

It’s almost summer (almost), meaning it’s time to start thinking about your warm weather footwear. Last season was all about sneakers and the season before espadrilles, but in 2016 it’s the turn of the classic loafer.

This, the Leo Clamp loafer by Italian brand Tod’s, is our pick of the bunch. With an appealing ’80s vibe, the shoe features Tod’s new Leo Clamp — a geometric metal tongue bar emblazoned with the Tod’s logo — produced using traditional hot metal casting.

It’s also available fitted to Tod’s classic Gommino driving shoes as well as its slick moccasins. Wear the loafers with a pair of slim white chinos and a pale blue grandad shirt for the ultimate understated “summer in Sicily” look
