6 recommendations for bit loafers with Gancini hardware
Including archives, there are quite a few variations of shoes that use Ferragamo’s iconic Gancini. Among them, this time we focus on loafers, and pick up six types we recommend!
Recommended Gancini loafers: 1) “Loafers with an excellent contrast between the voluminous leather sole and the sophisticated face of the upper.
The first one we picked up is a loafer featuring a decorative welt that circles from the toe to the heel. French piping is applied from the opening to the tongue, and the stitching at the opening is not noticeable, creating an elegant impression. The contrast between the refined upper made of a single piece of leather and the voluminous leather sole, as well as the Gancini hardware on the front, give the loafer a classic yet somehow contemporary mood.

Recommended Gancini loafers (2) “Almond toe with a long nose typical of Ferragamo
This model uses an oval-shaped almond toe and a last designed with a longer nose, which is typical of Ferragamo, a shoe brand that is renowned as a representative of Italian footwear. With minimal protrusion of the sole’s cobweb, this model has the lightness in a good sense typical of Italian shoes, and matches semi-formal and dress-up styles, elevating your coordination from the feet up.

Recommended Gancini Loafer (3) “The gap between the smart silhouette and the voluminous Gancini is irresistible Rolo
With its smart silhouette and gaping look with thick Gancini hardware, the Rolo has a unique atmosphere that matches both semi-formal and casual wear. The square-ish last combined with the classic mocca style gives the shoe a traditional austerity with a touch of glamour. The mocca part and the piping at the footwear opening are understated but have a presence, creating an appearance that does not make the shoes look too slender.

Recommended Gancini loafer (4): “David with a rugged lug sole
The sole of the David is deeply uneven, with a rugged lug sole that gives a rough, rugged impression. The entire sole is thick, with sneaker-like cushioning and grip, and the high-strength lug sole can be expected to play an active role in all situations. Although the sole has volume, giving it a casual appearance at first glance, the overall form is acceptable for dress shoes. Depending on the occasion, they will fit well on the feet for semi-formal or business use.

Recommended Gancini loafer (5) “Big sole reminiscent of a platform
This model belongs to the so-called “platform” category of thick-soled shoes, characterized by its thick sole. After Ferragamo invented this model, various shoe manufacturers and brands have lined up this model as a standard model for women’s shoes. The big-soled Gancini model, which seems to inherit the design of the original, is highly trendy and popular especially among the younger generation. The Gancini fittings are also voluminous to match the volume of the sole. Although this is a relatively new model, variations such as a material change model and all-black specifications are also available to match the season’s trends.

Recommended Gancini Loafer ⑥ “Sharp loafer in kid leather
This model uses kid leather, which is processed from goat skin less than one year old. Natural grain leather is less likely to show scratches and more water-repellent, and the leather is thinner and more flexible than cowhide. Another advantage of the thin and flexible leather is that it allows the form to be more beautifully defined, even down to the edges of the slender square toe last. The leather-wrapped Gancini hardware shows the craftsman’s skill, which can only be achieved with kid leather, which is also easy to handle. The mocca edging also adds a touch of glamour to this model.

Driving shoes with Gancini are also available!
Driving shoes are an indispensable item for those who travel by car. The shoe’s structure is similar to that of a room shoe, as it lacks the ” shank ” made of steel or wood that serves as the shoe’s backbone. Another feature of these shoes is that they have a rubber sole that is divided into patterns, rather than a single piece, compared to ordinary shoes. Thanks to this, the sole has a very high warp and the sole is flexible, making it easier to step on the accelerator and brake pedals. The loafers in the Gancini series, with their gorgeous atmosphere, are so well designed that it would be a shame to wear them only inside the car, but because flexibility of the shoes is so important, the sole is not thick enough for walking long distances. However, for a short shopping trip out of the car or a trip within the office, there is no problem with durability.

The lineup also includes a model featuring an asymmetrical design with gancini hardware and leather laces or ropes, although it is a bit different from the image of a bit loafer. Comfort and foot fit are the same as other models, and while the size does not change due to the decorative hardware, the taut leather laces play a role in holding the high part of the shoe firmly in place, just like the bit.
