this positions the $169 CAD Simons alongside $140 casual loafers in ruggedness.","foam_footbed_with_leather_topcover":"The foam footbed with a thin leather cover on the Simons loafer delivers immediate cushion without break-in, a design similar to LL Bean's True Comfort insole, prioritizing all-day comfort over the traditional full-leather footbed found in dressier loafers.","genuine_suede_vs_named_competitors":"The 'genuine suede' upper on the Simons loafer is less descriptive than the specific treatments and provenances named by competitors at similar and higher prices — Quince's Italian sheep suede ($84), LL Bean's oiled suede ($140), and Carmina's Charles F Stead leather (€775) — indicating the $169 CAD price puts the investment into the Spanish make rather than premium suede sourcing."},"entry_quotes":{"spanish_made_price_ladder":[{"url":"https://www.carminashoemaker.com/es/en/penny-loafers-suede-923-mto","quote":"PENNY LOAFERS IN SUEDE, AVAILABLE IN ALL COLORS"},{"url":"https://www.carminashoemaker.com/es/en/penny-loafers-suede-923-mto","quote":"€775"},{"url":"https://www.carminashoemaker.com/es/en/penny-loafers-suede-923-mto","quote":"This shoe, like all Carmina models, is carefully handcrafted by expert artisans following the same techniques Charles Goodyear conceived in 1869."},{"url":"https://www.carminashoemaker.com/es/en/penny-loafers-suede-923-mto","quote":"Finished with a leather sole and calf lining."}],"textured_rubber_outer_sole":[{"url":"https://global.llbean.com/llb/shop/129978.html","quote":"Grippy, durable mini-lug VertiGrip rubber outsole provides reliable traction on multiple surfaces."}],"foam_footbed_with_leather_topcover":[{"url":"https://global.llbean.com/llb/shop/129978.html","quote":"The True Comfort insole, our most cushioned and versatile insole, offers excellent shock absorption and a plush, supportive ride for a variety of activities."}],"genuine_suede_vs_named_competitors":[{"url":"https://www.quince.com/women/women-s-leather-pointy-penny-loafer","quote":"Materials: 100% Italian sheep suede upper with 100% cow leather lining."},{"url":"https://global.llbean.com/llb/shop/129978.html","quote":"Durable, high-quality and responsibly-sourced oiled suede upper and soft leather lining."},{"url":"https://www.carminashoemaker.com/es/en/penny-loafers-suede-923-mto","quote":"Charles F Stead leather"}]},"entry_sources":{"spanish_made_price_ladder":["https://www.carminashoemaker.com/es/en/penny-loafers-suede-923-mto"],"textured_rubber_outer_sole":["https://global.llbean.com/llb/shop/129978.html"],"foam_footbed_with_leather_topcover":["https://global.llbean.com/llb/shop/129978.html"],"genuine_suede_vs_named_competitors":["https://www.quince.com/women/women-s-leather-pointy-penny-loafer","https://global.llbean.com/llb/shop/129978.html","https://www.carminashoemaker.com/es/en/penny-loafers-suede-923-mto"]}},"fit_and_sizing_guidance":{"title":"Fit guidance and sizing tips for loafers","entries":{"half_inch_toe_clearance":"With your full weight on the shoe, there should be about a half-inch of space from the tip of your longest toe to the end — this prevents jamming during the forward foot slide that occurs with each step, and accounts for mild swelling, compensating for the loafer's inability to be laced tighter.","heel_slip_the_critical_test":"Because loafers cannot be tightened with laces, heel slip is the most common fit flaw and a sign the shoe is too large or the last doesn't match your heel shape;
