- How does the Palazzo compare with Gucci's Jordaan loafer?
- The Palazzo has a slimmer leather sole and the Intrecciato weave, while the Jordaan is a plainer horsebit loafer with a slightly roomier fit. The Palazzo reads dressier; the Jordaan is easier to wear casually.
- Is the leather sole suitable for everyday wear?
- It is a dress sole, so it wears faster on pavement than rubber. Many owners add a thin sole protector or have them resoled.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It runs narrow and close to true length. Men with wide feet should consider going up half a size or trying them on first.
- What is the upper made of?
- Woven lambskin leather in the Intrecciato pattern, with leather lining and a leather insole.
- Can these be worn without socks?
- Yes, the leather lining is smooth enough for bare feet, but the leather sole and insole will absorb sweat and need airing between wears.
- How should I care for the woven leather?
- Keep them on shoe trees, brush dust from the weave, and use a neutral leather cream sparingly. Avoid soaking the woven upper.
