The piece: a loafer shape, kept soft
The label is Dear Monkey. The supplier's facts are few: round toe slip-ons, polyester and rubber, low heel, imported, box not included. There is no care line.
The photos show a matte upper with a brushed look in every colour. The shape is that of a loafer, with a seam around the toe and a twisted strap where a penny loafer has its bar. One photo shows the blue shoe being bent double by hand, so the sole is flexible. A note on the colour names: the pair sold as White is cream in the photos, and Taupe is a beige-brown.
Who it's for
For you if you want a shoe by the door that goes on without bending down. They are also for you if trainers feel too sporty for what you wear and heels are out of the question.
With seven colours you can go quiet, with cream, grey or taupe, or pick the yellow, red or green pair as the one bright thing in an outfit.
Closer look: toe, strap, sole
- Round toe with a stitched seam (supplier: round toe; photos)
- Twisted double band across the instep (photos)
- No laces or buckles (supplier: slip-ons; photos)
- Low off-white sole that bends easily (photos)
- Polyester and rubber (supplier)
- Box not included (supplier)
Materials and build: polyester and rubber
The supplier names two materials, polyester and rubber, and does not say which part is which. The photos suggest a textile upper on a rubber sole. The upper has a soft, brushed surface. It is a fabric and it is not hide.
We know nothing about the lining or the insole, so we do not describe them. A textile upper will take in water, so these are shoes for dry days.
Size and fit: EU 36 to 43
There are eight sizes, EU 36 to 43. The supplier's chart gives a foot length per size, from 22.9 cm for 36 to 26.4 cm for 43, converted by us from inches. Measure your foot from heel to longest toe and compare. There is no fit note.
A slip-on has nothing to tighten. If it is too big, your heel lifts out; if it is too small, the edge presses. So if you are between sizes, think about how you will wear them: barefoot as in the photos, take the smaller size; with socks, the larger. You have 14 days to return a pair that does not fit.

Styling: cropped trousers, bare ankles
In the photos they are worn under cropped, frayed jeans with a bare ankle, and that is the look they are made for. Chinos, a midi skirt or a shirt dress work too.
Cream, grey and taupe go with everything. Use the yellow, red or green pair with plain clothes: white, blue, beige.
Occasions
Wear them to the office, on the school run, in town, on holiday or in the car on a long drive. They are shoes for ordinary dry days.
Care: brush, do not soak
The supplier gives no care instructions. For a brushed textile upper we would use a soft brush for dust and a damp cloth for marks, and we would keep them out of the washing machine.
The wow detail: the twist
Where most loafers have a flat bar, these have two bands turned around each other. It is a small change, and it softens the whole shoe. From above, which is how you see your own feet, it is the first thing you notice.
