For the first time, those lucky men can get creative with their very own pair of bespoke Tod’s classic Gommino loafers, thanks to the new Gommino Club project.

Handcrafted, form fitting and luxuriously comfortable, there aren’t many shoes that match the modern and stylish cut that is the Tod’s moccasin. The Gommino – as it is fondly called – comes in all the colours under the sun, and them some, swathed in smooth suede or lush leather. A small part to play but equally big on style, all shoes are also carefully finished in either a classic buckle, simple tassle, or just leaving it perfectly plain.

Taking inspiration from the comfortably chic driving shoes of the ‘50’s, the flexibly fashionable moccasin is as ideal for everyday as it is for a spot of evening wear, no doubt the result of the over 100 steps needed to assemble a Gommino. Painstakingly handcrafted, a single shoe might even take up to 35 individual pieces of leather to assemble, while one sole consists of the symbolic 133 rubber pebbles – all the better for a cushy walk.

So if you’ve always hankered after something a bit more unique in your Tod’s Gommino –you’ve got yourself a new shoe with the Italian house’s latest Gommino Mens Club project.

Much like tailoring a fine suit, the Gommino Club kit offers over an impressive 100,000 combinations. So, how does it work? Well, firstly, it starts with the choice of 15 different coloured leather swatches to form the main shoe body, before moving on to the monogramming, where you can decide on up to two initials to really make that shoe truly yours. Last, but certainly not least, you’ve got the option of putting together the ‘Scooby Doo’ laces: a calculated entwining of tassels in assorted colour combinations, available in either mono-tones, bi-coloured, or tri-coloured and your choice of over 20 different hues.  

After all that fabulous fashion decision making is done, all that’s left for you to do is sit back, wait for your exclusive pair of Tod’s Gommino to arrive, and you’re all set to walk your next adventures in uncompromised style.
