Ralph Lauren Bench Made in England Tassel Loafers

[onlinedesign]

Hi All,

I am looking to get all the information I can on this pair of shoes. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your knowledge.

These look to be Crockett & Jones, who do most of Ralph's English benchmade footwear.

Thank you, do you know if they are a men's or women's shoe? I was under the impression that they were men's, however someone mentioned that they thought they might be a woman's shoe because of the "w" at the beginning of the number written inside.

I'm quite positive they're men's shoes. I've come across that model numerous times on the fora and on eBay.

They are mens, Us sized in a rare narrow B width.
They are pretty old, maybe 10 years old considering logo and fonts.

The are essentially a rebranded Langham I Loafers

Hello! I am in search for this exact shoe and can't seem to find a pair anywhere. I actually thought they were womens shoes, as my old pair fit my foot which is a size 6.5-7 in womens'. I'm curious: what is the length of the sole in a flat measurement? Thank you for the info!

you’re replying to a 6 year old post. Doubt you’ll get an answer.

are you a woman? C&J carries a women’s line.

Hello, yes! The reason I ask is that I had a pair of loafers exactly like these that fit me, a 6.5 in women’s.

So the rationale would be that it was in fact made as a woman’s shoe or possibly for boys? I don’t think men’s sizes are made that small.

All of this to say, I’m hoping to find this exact shoe in my size - even though I’m fairly sure they’re vintage and are no longer being made. Tragically, a dog discovered them at a friends’ home and chewed one of them to pieces. Now all I’m left with is one gorgeous shoe!

I’ll check out c&j for similar items. I just wish I had more info on this particular shoe and the year is was made! This post, believe it or not, is the ONLY shoe of this exact design and color on the internet. So any other information would be appreciated! Thanks again!

Heel looks wrong for C&J. No dovetail.

Carmina make a very similar looking string tassel loafer the 80228 style. You can custom order

^ I doubt it was made for kids. Good luck.

I’m not sure you’ll find the exact shoe as the style change seasonally. Particularly so given that it was likely a private label make up for RL. You should be able to find something similar though
