(previously recorded)

Loafer is Trending for Fall:
Balica is all about loafer envy with a very smooth and soft upper leather, evident Fine Italian Craftsmanship, Italy inspired design, feminine tapered pointed / square toe, artful oblong shaped heel and the uncompromising comfort level from the patented Informa technology footbed which is ergonomic padding at key pressure points of your feet.

Evident Fine Italian Craftsmanship:
Considering that our creative director spends a lot of time in Italy and his designs are truly Italian inspired, Balica is a clear example of fine Italian craftsmanship with the intricate but subtle stitch affect piping detail on the leather upper. The carefully constructed loafer not only give off the “sipping an expresso at an Italian Café in Venice” or “Boss Lady” or “I’m Confident with my style choices” vibe but it also can guarantee that it is a loafer that will last you through many seasons. Balica is a wardrobe investment.

Femininity:
The overall look of Balica is menswear inspired but it is also all about femininity. It has a tapered, pointed toe with a slight square toe detail, very timely and unique design. The Top line of the leather upper or (tongue) is also separated on the on either side of the upper, giving it a more feminine appeal and flexibility for the movement of foot. The tapering and the top line details help give you a more elongated look especially since you are wearing a loafer that is less than 1” of heel height.

Quality Leather:
And keeping Franco Sarto in mind, when he was designing from early 1990, he would only use the highest quality of leathers found in Italy, and we, now as Franco Sarto, the brand, still embrace this value, with the use of soft, high-quality leathers that is more flexible to wear and high lux to the eye.

A fun fact is that Franco Sarto’s original designs were in fact loafers, and here we are 30 plus years later bringing back this loafer classic but enhanced with more current designs.

Unique Detail:
Completing the chic look of Balica is the leather wrapped oblong shaped heel. It is tonal which matches the leather upper. One great tell that it is a Franco Sarto shoe is if the heel has an intricate detail, making it slightly unique in design.

Comfort:
Balica also has the Informa technology which is 7mm of contoured padding at the key pressure points of your feet. It remains a popular demand for the brand. Franco Sarto celebrates the motto “Fashion Meets Comfort”.
