That would be an awesome addition to the lineup. Heck, Navy suede boot on any sole would be a great addition.Saw the IG post from about a week ago, looks to be a navy suede boot on Vibram wedge...drool. Hoping they get to production next spring
Just received my first pair of GS, the Traveler Penny Loafers, and they really live up to the very high bar you have all been talking about. The colour is absolutely gorgeous. Fit was also spot on of course! Many thanks for the guidance Wyatt!

Any plans for the steel grey suede in another style (Ottawa???) of boot. Or cap toe boot?This one will go in. Something about that suede color, a steel grey with the natural welts and wedge looks really good.

Leo would be awesome (fits like a glove for the feet, on me)Awesome. Same last or on the new one you’ve mentioned?

Steel Gray Suede Diesel sounds awesome.Probably will start with this diesel first and try another article for the Ottawa.
This will be on the Leo last.
I found, with the loafer, that I had to go down 1/2 over Brannock, strap was tight at first, almost too tight first few wears, but heel was spot on, and toe room was fine. The more I wear them, the better they fit and I'm not worried about them becoming overly loose. And they are extremely well put together, you are right.Grabbed a pair of the loafers finally. Extremely well put together like all other GS I’ve seen.
Trying to decide how I feel about the fit. I have room in the toebox which is nice, but the heel is a little loose and doesn’t grab like I’d prefer. The strap itself is tight but I’m sure that’ll loosen up in a few wears.
Wondering if I should size down another 1/2. I’m worried they’ll be sloppy once broken in. My main concern about sizing down is how much tighter the strap will be out of the box.
All that said, I’m very impressed overall

Thanks. These are 1/2 down, and I think there’s a good chance they’ll be great when broken in. Some other companies chromexcel gets really loose when broke in but GS bluchers stay together well. Mainly wondering if the loafers are the same way
I would suggest to stick with that size. We haven’t really seen many customers experience a looser fit or more heel slip once broken in. It’s usually the opposite, having a better heel fit once the shoe has been worn a week or two. Especially if the instep is already snug.
