Product Review: Donum’s Mint Tassel Loafer in Burnet

Donum Men's Chocolate Tassle Loafers
Italian Influence w/ Colombian Craftsmanship & Spirit

Colombian based luxury footwear brand Donum created their shoes as a gift to the people of their country. Now, we’ve been blessed with the chance to try them out here in the States. Looking through the full collection, from a stylistic perspective, Donum approach to footwear pushes the design spectrum just enough without stepping into an Avante-Garde territory.

To get some insight on the product, I wore their loafer — The Mint, for a week. Here’s my product review.

The Mint Tassel Loafer in Burnet – Donum

Considering myself somewhat of a loafer aficionado, I was intrigued by the shape of these shoes. With a slender toe box and a more chiseled/square toe, all of the brand’s Italian influence is prevalent.

Let deep-dive into the pros:

  • The slender silhouette is the perfect complement to a tailored suit or slim jeans
  • Speaking of the chiseled toe, it definitely gives the shoe some personality and its a departure from the English and American rounded toe that we’ve seen over the last decade. FYI, these aren’t the square toe shoes that you wore to your first internship.
  • The heel-cup provides surprise levels of comfort
  • These shoes are sturdy. Loafers in my experience to expand, where the upper spills over the outsole. This isn’t the case here
  • The coloration is a truly deep brown, making them extremely versatile

Now for the cons

  • For this particular pair of shoes, break in time was about a solid seven days. Not terrible by any means
  • There’s are a limited number of colors & materials for this particular shoe
