Suede Loafer Suggestions?

[bantone]

Could someone suggest me some good Italian/Spanish/English Suede Penny loafers? I have some American ones by Alden but I notice the last they are on make it a wider shoe and I have a narrow foot. Any brands for me to look at? Thanks!

There are many, but I've been happy with Carmina (XIM, Uetam) and C&J (Harvard, Boston). I've got a few Alden Loafers. I like the Copley and the unlined LHS. The unlined fits more narrow than the lined. If you like Alden, they do have narrow widths.

I love the way Magnanni's fit me personally. https://eu.magnanni.com/shoes/loafers/galera-navy.html

I've got quite narrow feet.

Alden snuff suede are a good casual choice and I like the carmina for a bit of a dressier(?) choice.

I recently bought the CJ Sidney in suede, as my first pair of loafers. They are on the beautiful 341 last, which is quite narrow and slightly elongated

These are gorgeous and exactly what I'm searching for. What's the color called?

That's the 'snuff suede', here is the link to their official site:

I went half a size down compared to another pair I have in the same last. Still trying to figure out if it was the right decision, but probably yes

If you have a narrow foot, you should look at Carmina's 10082, which is on the Simpson last.

This would be my #one-shoe if a gun was pointed at my head. I have 2 identical pair of brown suede, and I MTO-d a pair in navy a few years ago. Brown pair #1 was resoled last summer at Carmina NYC. Brown pair #2 was bought last minute before my trip to Seoul 2 springs ago and I didn't trust the sole health of pair #1.

When I tried on the Uetam last from Carmina, I felt it was shorter in UK 10 than Simpson. Back in the day, the Armoury HK didn't stock 10.5, and I haven't tried it anywhere else.

I actually do have some Alden LHS. The issue is that they are a 10.5. I probably could use a 10 in them since they tend to slip more when I wear certain socks. Without socks and an insert for my flat feet they feel fine but I feel like they are the edge of slipping lol.

Other than that I feel like I could use a slimmer profile and a more caramel color but I could just be nitpicking b/c overall they look great.

I'm looking for a nice pair of suede shoes also. They would mostly be worn with chinos or jeans.

I really like these, but I'd prefer no toe cap.

Any suggestions on a double monk suede that can be worn casually?

Thank you

Did someone say double monk suede, hold the cap toe?

Someone did, many thanks!

The casual sole (like the ones on the Magnanni) would be nice, but no cap toe is a higher priority. thank you

Does anyone have pics of Meermins new-ish loafers on the NOD last?

 

[Thin White Duke]

It’s all about your budget. What are we talking here?
I have Meermins in polo suede which is a shade or two more ‘ginger’ than snuff suede. They have a narrower apron than usually round toed pennies but I like ‘em. Last is a little more formal looking than as an example those Alden’s in the pic up thread. They recently came out with unlined loafers but I haven’t tried them on.
