| Notched Penny Loafers Men: Choose this for a classic, sophisticated dress shoe featuring a genuine, soft napped suede upper and meticulous details like a shallow central slit on the penny strap and contrasting light cream whipstitching on the moc-toe apron. This pair, designed in Canada and made in Portugal, is complemented by a padded footbed and includes a signature storage bag. However, note that the lining and sock are listed as being made of unspecified other materials.[1,2,3,4] | Smooth Leather Penny Loafers Men: Choose this if you want a classic penny loafer with a polished leather upper, leather lining and sock, padded leather-covered footbed, and an embossed non-skid rubber sole; it is a Simons exclusive designed in Canada and made in Spain, offered in Black, Chocolate/Espresso, and Burgundy in EU sizes 40 through 45. Reviewers' feedback highlights the subtle leather and attractive color as the shoe's bright spots, making it appealing for professional settings. Be aware that sizing is inconsistent—the shoe reportedly runs large and EU sizes do not align with US sizes—and the material is described as very hard, with a twisted-toe defect on the right shoe reportedly found on every pair in one store, so trying it on in person is advised.[5] | Santiago Suede Penny Loafers Men: Choose this if you want a classic suede penny loafer with a raised moc-toe apron, a vamp strap with a small cutout, and a padded footbed with a leather top cover. It has a genuine suede upper over a synthetic lining and sock, plus a leather outsole with a rubberized forefoot and heel that the merchant states are for better grip. It is a Simons exclusive listed as made in Portugal (one other source fragment reports Italy) and comes in European sizes 40 through 45 with a signature dust bag included.[6,7,8] |
