Unboxing Seamless Tassel Loafer Maftei Lukas

For such a long time, this the first pair of loafers from Maftei.

And this pair uses Maftei’s signature craft, onepiece (seamless).

Everyone knows that the tassel loafer was created by Alden, but who did Alden create it for? It is a Hungarian actor, Paul Lukas.

The shoes get its name here.

Unboxing

The suede leather dustbag offers good texture and protective function.

Last

Maftei last is unique which is a square and round toe with banana shape.

Upper pattern

A pair of rose-red suede tassels.

I have seen many brands of shoes, high-end and low-end, and I have come to a conclusion that it is easier for Loafer to look good, or conversely, it is not easy for loafer to be ugly.

The root cause, I think, is that loafer is particularly tolerant of the last shape, and it may be the modification effect of Apron, which weakens the disharmony of the last shape itself.

But this does not mean that this tassel loafer is like others, or is an imitator of Alden. Because, it is seamless!

Look at the heel, there is no seam, and there is no seam in the front. Therefore, Maftei showed off his one-piece skills that are famous in Europe again.

This woven strip on the side has existed since the original tassel loafer. I think this element is really classic in this style. If you take it off, it’s really not as good as this, so you have to applaud Alden.

The tassel of Maftei feels a little shorter, but I haven’t compared it with other shoes specifically, that’s the feeling.

Construction

Wood pegging.

In middle European shoemakers’ eyes, this is the foundation of orthodox shoes, and it is unnecessary to have blind waists.

Leather

Janus from tannery Charles F. Stead has great luster. And there are so many colors to choose from, which is quite interesting.

I found that Maftei especially likes to use colours with very high color concentration.

Details

Apart from the onepiece technical highlight, I think the biggest design of this pair is that the pink insole and the pink upper are completely the same colour, which suddenly gives people the feeling of indoor slippers, very elegant!

Summary

Rose red, one-piece, one-color insole and upper. There are three exciting places for this tassel loafer.
