HARUTA Classic Loafer 6550
Product Details
The Quintessential Japanese Classic Loafer.
If there is one shoe that defines the Japanese "CleanFit Style," it is the HARUTA 6550. For decades, this model has been the standard for school uniforms across Japan. However, its robust construction and refined silhouette have transcended its origins, establishing it as a timeless staple for the modern minimalist wardrobe.
Unlike delicate dress shoes, the 6550 is built to be a daily driver—tough, structured, and undeniably classic.
Editor's Note: Why the 6550?
While the Spock 850 offers a unique silhouette, the 6550 offering the purest American Traditional (Ametora) look. It brings a touch of nostalgia and structure to loose-fitting outfits. We love this model specifically for its 3E Width (Extra Wide), making it far more comfortable for everyday walking than narrow European loafers.
