Crocs Gallery Leather Shoe

Crocs is adding a genuine-leather version to its Gallery line, the loafer-inspired dress hybrid that has become one of the brand's more unexpected silhouettes. The Gallery Leather Shoe goes on sale October 22 through Crocs.com.

The upper keeps the refined shape of the original Gallery but swaps in real leather for a more elevated finish. It also retains the collection's original lacing system, which gives the shoe the look of a classic loafer. Underneath sits a rubber outsole, and Crocs describes the idea as formal and functional at once. Metal, hiking-style eyelets and a chunky sole add a slightly rugged edge to an otherwise polished design.

The listing shows one colorway, Black/Black, at $109.99. Sizes run from 6 to 12 in women's and men's sizing. Shipping is free on orders of $44.99 and up, and returns are free on everything except final-sale items.

For New Yorkers who find sneakers too casual for the office or an evening out but don't want a stiff dress shoe, this could fill the gap. Because it is sold online, it can be ordered easily from anywhere in the city.
