With a lightweight construction and unique fit that molds to your foot, these loafers provide both style and sophistication—ideal for any wardrobe. From the brand: LIMITED RELEASE - This style will not be restocked. The classic penny loafer, a very solid & versatile choice, made in our RON last with low instep, round toe & a slim shape. The apron is 100% handsewn. Introduced for the first time to our UNLINED collection. First we removed the shoes structure and interior lining, this allows for greater breathability and flexibility. Perfect to keep your feet cool and comfortable for the spring and summer months ahead! Next we took the idea further and made our insoles slightly thinner, this removes some of the overall weight of the shoe. These small but purposeful changes allow for a lightweight, flexible, and comfortable, Goodyear welted shoe that will instantly become a staple in your wardrobe! Made in a beautiful & fine Alpine grain calf from La Tannerie d'Annonay in a beautiful grey shade. Not all skins are suitable to produce this special apron, the tightest fiber structure and optimal thickness are a must. This is partially possible by the new insole used, the same top quality vegetable tanned leather we use in all of our shoes but has been made slightly thinner, this allows for a lighter overall feel, better insulation on warmer days, and a shorter break in period. Over time the personal contours of your foot will give it a truly unique fit. Flex Goodyear welted on the RON last, the perfect combination for an unlined loafer. This extremely comfortable and flexible shoe was made by possible by the removal of the shoes interior lining and upper reinforcement you normally see in these types of shoes. This allows the shoe to conform to your foot nicely, you'll be surprised by how soft and gentle the underside of the leather as it keeps your feet feeling comfortable all day.
