Penny loafers in black leather

Made from black calfskin, with a matte finish, these shoes stand out through a discreet elegance, equally suited to the office or an evening out. Sole and heel are made from bend leather, covered with a rubber sheet for added grip. The strap across the vamp remains the sole decorative element, accentuated by the simplicity of the smooth surface. The welt stitch count is 7-8 stitches per inch.

Goodyear Welt construction allows for resoling and provides exceptional comfort, thanks to the layer of cork between the sole and the insole, which takes the shape of the foot. The rounded last, typical of any relaxed slip-on, recalls the tradition of shoemaking craft. Deep black, with a discreet sheen, free of colour variation or decorative details. Sizes available from 36 to 47, including half sizes, in three width fittings.

The interior is lined with dyed natural leather, with a full-length insole. A soft insert sits beneath the insole, in the heel area, for added comfort.

These penny loafers can be worn with a charcoal suit and a white shirt, for an office where dress code rigour truly matters. For weekend evenings, they suit black jeans and a merino wool jumper just as well.

For long-lasting wear, our recommendation is wiping the shoes after each wear with a microfibre cloth or a horsehair brush. Periodically, a moisturising cream, a pigmented cream, and a wax, applied in this order, are essential to maintaining the leather for years. Store in a box or fabric bags, with cedarwood shoe trees, away from light and heat sources.
