Horsebit loafer Passy Ultra Light

The Passy 276: Elegance with an Edge

The return of an icon. After a brief but memorable stint in smooth black leather and then suede, the Passy makes its grand comeback for summer 2026. This season, it swaps Goodyear welting for an ultra-light 276-gram Blake construction!

The comfort of a sneaker, the look of a dress shoe

Don’t be fooled by its sleek silhouette: the Passy is a tribute to movement. Set on an ultra-light leather sole, it offers immediate flexibility. It’s the loafer that finally reconciles the demands of city life with the comfort of travel. Its metal buckle, a bold signature, punctuates its design to infuse it with that neo-retro character so dear to the house.

A style chameleon

Its strength lies in its incredible versatility. The Passy isn’t just worn—it’s embraced:

• Casual version: Wear it with the nonchalance of a sneakers, barefoot or with a fine knit.
• “Heritage” version: Incorporate it into a carefully curated vintage look to highlight its timeless DNA.
• Business version: Pair it with a mismatched suit to break the rules of formal wear without losing an ounce of chic.

From raw denim to pleated pants, it adapts to your style with disconcerting ease. Now a classic of the Malfroid house, which we are proud to present to you once again.

These run large, so choose a half size smaller than your usual size!

– Insert raw wood shoe trees into your shoes as soon as you take them off: They absorb moisture and preserve the integrity and shape of the shoe.

– Use a shoehorn for your comfort and to protect the shoe's heel counter.

– Alternate your pairs of shoes as much as possible, as leather needs to dry properly to remain supple and maintain its shape. Never leave your pair near a source of heat or moisture.

– Regularly wipe your pair with a dry cloth or give it a quick brush.

– Use Saphir Médaille d’Or lotion every five to ten wears. It cleans and nourishes the leather: this is essential, regular maintenance. Saphir Médaille d’Or Pommadier cream (neutral or in the shoe’s color) is a supplementary, more nourishing treatment.

– Once your shoes are clean and hydrated, apply a little Saphir Médaille d’Or wax polish to provide extra protection and a glossy finish. Finally, buff with a chamois cloth or a soft-bristled brush.

– For a mirror shine (glacage), emulsify by alternating layers of wax polish and fine droplets of water, only on the rigid parts of the shoe. This operation requires time and precision. Run a nylon, wool, or cashmere stocking over a finished mirror shine.
