This Kangaroo article has become a customer favorite due to its soft feel from the elastic properties along with the natural grain character. While it is a resilient full-grain leather, it feels more like suede from the first wear. 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 almost 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.
