The Aurora Story

Black Loafers — Formal Polish for Career-Defining Moments

A Chicago brand. Every pair handcrafted to order at Tevfik’s bench in Gaziantep.

When you dress for an interview or a crucial presentation, your footwear speaks first. The Aurora is an apron-toe slip-on with a signature braided cord and metal tips — sophistication that sets you apart without shouting. Its Blake-stitched leather sole can be resoled for years rather than replaced.

These black leather loafers pair cleanly with charcoal and navy suits — the polished, no-fuss choice for the man on his way up. Explore our full range of Loafer Shoes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Sizing, delivery, returns, and care — answered.

How do I choose my size?

The Aurora runs true to size — order your usual US size. Between sizes, size up; wide feet, size up once. Not right? We offer a free U.S. size exchange, and your new pair is handcrafted in about three weeks. See the size guide near the size selector for the full US/EU/UK chart.

How long until my shoes arrive?

Every pair is made to order in our Gaziantep workshop, then shipped free to the U.S. — most orders arrive in about three weeks (roughly two weeks of crafting plus tracked shipping). Have a wedding or event coming up? Order at least four weeks ahead.

What if the fit isn’t right?

You're covered. Within 30 days, get a free size exchange — we craft the right size and cover shipping. Prefer not to exchange? Choose store credit + a $25 bonus, or a refund to your original payment minus return shipping. Your exchange pair is handcrafted in about three weeks.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Yes. The Aurora is Blake-stitched with a leather sole, so a cobbler can resole it when the time comes — built to be repaired and worn for years, not thrown away.

What leather do you use?

Full-grain leather — the top layer of the hide and the highest grade. It’s more durable than corrected or “genuine” leather and develops a rich personal patina as you wear it.

How do I care for them?

Brush off dust after wear, apply a matching cream now and then to nourish the leather, and use cedar shoe trees to hold their shape. Avoid prolonged wet exposure — if caught in rain, stuff with paper and let them air-dry naturally.

Will I pay customs or import duties?

No. We ship from Gaziantep, Turkey and cover all customs duties and import taxes ourselves — you pay nothing extra when your order arrives. The only tax that may apply is standard U.S. state sales tax, shown at checkout before you pay.

Will my shoes look exactly like the photos?

Yes. The shoe in the photos is the shoe we make for you — same leather, color, and hardware. Each pair is handcrafted to order, so you'll see the natural character of genuine full-grain leather, but the design and finish match what you see on the page.
