CAMPERLAB
Classic leather shoes are fine, but now I'm in the mood for something a little more carefree. Take, for example, this pair from Camper Labs. The loafer without a saddle has a square mocca, a slouchy leather upper, and a horizontally protruding buckle, all of which are designed with a twist. The finish is elegant as a leather shoe, but with just the right amount of sass. The non-slip rubber outsole is a reassuring ally on rainy days.

UGG® & sacai
Sakai's runway shows are always the center of attention not only for the clothes but also for the shoes that adorn the feet, and the topic of the Fall-Winter 2013 season is the second collaboration with "ag ®︎" after a seven-year absence. The coin loafer, one of the three models available, has a hybrid finish typical of "Sacai" with fuzzy fur on the saddle and cuff. The thick sole creates a sense of volume that goes well with fall and winter styles, when the silhouette of clothing becomes larger.

A minimalist design with minimal decoration and understated moccasin stitching. This pair of loafers is a reworking of the so-called "loafer," a pair of flat shoes by Helieu. The upper is made of a single piece of supple and shiny calf leather, with a bold opening. The impression when you put your foot through them is similar to that of opera pumps, and you can imagine how you can play with the length of the pants you wear with them and the socks you wear with them.

These loafer-type sneakers by Peezy are based on the brand's classic moc shoes. So, they are comfortable from the start, and there is no need to worry about soreness. The daring mismatched combination of a dressy upper and a Vibram sole for light trekking is also excellent. Incidentally, this refreshing coloring was inspired by the "White Bucks," a masterpiece of the long-established American brand "Walkover.

SoftContainer
Soft Container is a design unit established by architects. As the word "container" in the brand name suggests, the concept of "container" is at the heart of their design. In the case of these sandals, it is the small drawstring bag attached to the saddle. Rather than a functional detail to actually hold something, it is an ornament that gives a twist to the familiar shape of the sandal. It also adds a nice accent to the look of the sandals, as it changes the way the hems of the pants hang up.
