Moreschi shoes are traditionally comfortable: we recommend choosing one size smaller than your usual size

Colonia Suede is a men's loafer in suede calfskin with a tonal apron and wide toe, available in blue and dark brown. This model shares the silhouette and construction with Colonia Calf — Blake construction, rubber sole, leather lining — while bringing them to a materially distinct register: suede introduces the velvety texture and chromatic depth characteristic of this leather, changing the character of the model without altering its form.

The tonal apron is the detail that sets Colonia Suede apart from other Moreschi loafers — a horizontal line across the vamp that echoes the penny loafer tradition, reinterpreted in suede. Blue and dark brown are the colours chosen for this version: two tones that enhance the depth of suede in complementary ways, suited to different wardrobes and contexts. The leather lining ensures sustained comfort. The rubber sole provides everyday practicality.

Colonia Suede pairs with chino trousers, denim, linen or cotton suits and smart casual looks.

Colonia takes its name after Köln, the Gothic cathedral, the old market, a city that knows how to hold levity and depth together. A quality that suede expresses better than any other material.

Those looking for a suede loafer with a more relaxed profile can explore Baku Suede.

Care

Suede calfskin has a characteristic velvety texture, produced by buffing the flesh side of the hide. It is sensitive to moisture, staining and abrasion, and requires dedicated tools — waxes and traditional shoe creams are not suitable for this leather.

For regular care:
1. Remove dust and surface dirt using the Moreschi Wood Brush with para rubber and horsehair bristles, brushing gently in the direction of the nap.
2. For stains, use a suede eraser or a mild suede cleaner, applied with restraint and without scrubbing.
3. Apply the Moreschi Suede Spray periodically to refresh colour, restore texture and protect the leather from moisture and staining — without altering the original tone.
4. Never use waxes, shoe creams or polish: they will permanently alter the velvety surface.
5. Store in a dry environment away from heat and direct light, with the Moreschi Wood Shoe Trees inserted to maintain shape and allow the leather to breathe.

Suede calfskin shoes combined with exotic leathers require particular care: the suede spray is not suitable for exotic surfaces and can cause irreversible damage. Treat only the suede sections, carefully protecting the adjacent exotic parts. For any treatment that involves both surfaces, consult a cobbler specialising in mixed-material footwear.

For persistent stains or significant wear, consult a specialist in suede and nubuck footwear care.

Blake construction

The Blake construction is used for shoes with leather or rubber soles and ensures a secure bond between the upper, midsole, and outsole. After an initial phase of gluing and pressing, the sole is further reinforced with a single stitch made using a specialized Blake machine, which fastens the bottom of the shoe directly to the upper.

The result is a solid yet flexible shoe, ideal for refined everyday wear.
