Rumi Ruched Leather Penny Loafers Women: Choose this if you want a black penny loafer with a distinctive gathered look: this G.H.BASS style pairs a supple leather upper and ruched moc toe with a penny strap finished with a logo medallion in a gold tone. It features a leather padded footbed, soft faux-suede lining, elastic edging at the back, and a low stacked heel on a textured rubber outer sole. Note that the retailer listing shows this style in Black and in sizes 8.5 and 9 only.[1,2]Logan Weejuns Basketweave Penny Loafers Men: Choose this if you want a casual black penny loafer with a distinctive woven basketweave vamp and braided top that the brand says evokes a preppy South American aesthetic. It has a supple genuine leather upper and lining, memory foam midsole with an internal dual-density foam cushion, and Goodyear welted construction that can be resoled, with a leather outsole and rubberized heel for grip. Note that a reviewer found the leather soles take some scuffing to gain traction and may slip slightly on the first few wears, while the shoes molded to their feet over time.[3,4,5,6,7,8,9]Larson Weejuns Black Loafers Men: Choose these loafers if you want a classic dress penny loafer for dressy outfits: the Larson pairs a smooth leather upper with traditional moc-toe stitching, a leather lining and sock, a memory foam midsole, and a leather outsole. Their handsewn moccasin construction, in use since 1936 per the brand, is designed for a cleaner seam and better break-in, and the resoleable leather outsole means a well-worn pair can be rebuilt rather than replaced. Be aware that some wearers report discomfort during long walks or a fit that suits slightly narrower, lower-volume feet, and one reviewer found the leather sole felt a little cheapish.[10,11,12,13]

Disappointed

★★★★★Hollie A.

This is a gorgeous shoe! I’m so in love with them however after one wear… the sole is already peeling off the toe. For such an expensive purchase I would have expected them to hold together longer. Quite disappointed :/

Stylish and comfortable

★★★★★Larissa P.

I bought a second pair! Style and comfort — a rare combo!

Love

★★★★★Mariah P.
