Our penny loafer was created with two things in mind: versatility and comfort. It's the ultimate shoe for travel, given the ability to be paired with a sport coat or t-shirt and most anything in between. We find ourselves wearing this shoe year round—sockless with shorts/lightweight fabrics in the summer and with wool socks and denim through the winter. Tanned by Charles F. Stead in England, Milkshake Rough Suede features an exaggerated nap, creating a rough and natural texture. This comfortable and chunky casual leather will have a wide range of nap length and character, making it a truly unique article.  Due to the highly exaggerated and irregular nap of the leather, variation should be expected. No two pairs will be the same.  Combining a forgiving upper leather and soft insole/outsole tannage, the Traveler Penny strikes the perfect balance of structure and support.
