    DETAILS

    A loafer with personality.

    The Balta Loafer by Unisa brings a relaxed take to classic loafer styling, crafted in soft Tanger suede for a rich, tactile finish. The moccasin-inspired construction gives it a distinctive look, while decorative stitching and the cutout detail across the vamp add interest without making the style feel overdone. It’s the kind of loafer that instantly adds character to simple outfits.

    Underfoot, the Balta is designed with everyday comfort in mind. The flexible rubber outsole moves naturally with your foot, while the leather lining and leather insole give the shoe a soft, breathable feel. With a low 1.5cm heel and regular-width fit, it has an easy, flat profile that works beautifully when you want a polished shoe without the height.

    Tanger is a warm, earthy suede that works especially well with denim, cream, chocolate, black and soft neutrals. Wear the Balta with tailored trousers for a relaxed take on work dressing, or pair it with straight-leg jeans and a simple knit for weekends. Made in Spain, it’s a versatile everyday loafer with enough detail to make even the simplest outfit feel considered.

    FIT & FEEL
    • Width: Standard/regular width, suited to feet that don’t require extra room through the forefoot.
    • Toe shape: Rounded, traditional loafer toe that gives the front of the foot a comfortable amount of space without looking bulky.
    • Upper feel: Soft suede leather that feels supple to the touch and gives the shoe a relaxed, premium finish.
    • Construction: Moccasin construction creates a flexible feel through the upper and gives the Balta its distinctive stitched appearance.
    • Vamp: Cutout detail across the upper adds visual interest while keeping the loafer easy and open-looking on the foot.
    • Heel height: Low 1.5cm heel, giving you a virtually flat profile with just enough lift to keep the shoe from feeling completely flat underfoot.
    • Sole: Flexible rubber sole with good everyday durability and grip.
    • Support: The low heel and flexible sole give the shoe a relaxed, easy-walking feel, rather than a structured or elevated profile.
    • Fastening: Slip-on design makes the Balta easy to put on and take off, with no laces or buckles to adjust.
    • Made in: Spain.

    Care

    Suede is naturally delicate and can mark with moisture and friction. Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and keep the nap looking fresh. Protect with a suede-specific protector before first wear and avoid prolonged exposure to rain or water.
