Is anyone familiar with the Lindell Penny Loafer?
Was it available in brown shell?
With a style number of 1586 does this equate to a 6 last?

Kristen's Black Suede Caen's (on the 65 last) are quite feminine. Then again they're size 4...
I haven't gotten to see them... the 65 last sounds like a cool change though. (I know it's for size availability)

She has custom lasts (don't know if for every last type or just a few). She chose the 65 because it was curvy and sleek.

Man. I still love those slippers... curse my feet.

To be fair, they’re snug on me. Comfortable, but snug. They’re my normal 10.5D, but when I got my VV needlepoint ones, I figured the 11 should be a perfect fit- way too big. So “snug” is as close as I can get to perfect with S&W.

Audog and boot aficionados.
So I saw and bought with no prior planning a pair of black Normandy boots with a dainite sole in size 10 D. They are snug but comfortable. My Caen's are 10eee way to much room in width and vertical height. Need to use very thick insoles.
The question is the Normandy's toe. After i put them on I had to look under a shelving area. While on my hands and knees the right toe collapsed. After I removed my boots the toe was corrected. Are Normandy toes always this delicate. There was no harm to boot or leather but boot looked funky till I fixed it. Will the toes be a constant issue?

Yes. Dunno what the deal is, but the toe puff/counter in my Normandy is equally soft. Maybe they meant it to go with the ultra soft structure of the Normandy over all.
