Penny Loafer

Matte slip-on with a classic saddle strap

A penny loafer in the usual shape: a saddle strap across the vamp, a clean moccasin seam around the toe, and no lacing to think about. The finish is matte rather than polished, so it reads quieter than a dress shoe and sits as easily with denim as with wool trousers. A flat sole unit keeps the weight down, which is what makes this one wearable for a full day at a desk. Runs true to size. Loafers should hold at the heel without gripping the instep; if you are between sizes, take the smaller — they give slightly with wear.
