Seriously considering a pair of these this year. Looked into a few other brands making shell loafers but these look the best to me
Alden or bust for penny loafers (unless you can’t find the particular make up anymore like the unlined stuff).
For shell loafers 100000% Alden then maybe Rancourt.
Personally I think the van last is just too perfect for a penny loafer for me to veer too far off from Alden, though I do own some C&J Pennie’s. For other styles like horse bits or tassels I’ve been known to try some osb/GS tho 😉
What is the fitment on these like compared to the tassels?
different last (Grant) and higher vamp, so much more secure and comfortable fit in my experience.
Dang the higher vamp may work against my flat feet. Thanks for the info. They look good though
Heh true. How do you size your Van lasted loafers? TTS, 1/2 down.... A full down?
Yeah half size down from brannock. Brannock -1 width works as well, I have a van friendly foot which makes Aberdeen fit like crap lol
That sounds like the inverse of me generally for the same reasons I bet.
Great to hear. I'll try and swing by my local Alden retailer today or tomorrow and see if they have any to try on.
