Where to find a loafer, but with white sole like a boat shoe?

[mdp0430]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to find a brown loafer with a white sole. Think classic sperry topsider but without leather laces everywhere.

I tried this from zappos, but it's total crap: http://www.zappos.com/jd-fisk-eli

Any ideas? Thanks for any direction you can point me in...

Rancourt would probably make this up for you as well.

I spent some time looking for the same thing you are. I even had a conversation with Quoddy about making one, and it looks like they gone and done it.

If the Quoddy style is too primitive, you could try something like this: : http://www.shipton-usa.com/mens-sho...hoes/sloop-mens-chestnut-brown-deck-shoe.html

Thanks for the replies, but I was hoping to find something less rustic. Definitely trying to avoid those leather laces and the rivets on the sides and not looking for a penny loafer either. I might just have to give up on the idea. Anyone else? The one's I linked from Zappos are exactly what I was hoping for, but just not in plastic!

Thanks dudes!

Plastic? Zappos says those are leather. ??

Yes, Zappos says they are leather. And, technically, I'm sure they are. But they look plastic, feel plastic and smell like chemicals....

Having them custom made may be the the only option...

Ideally, I was hoping to combine this: http://www.sperrytopsider.com/store...ail&catdisplayName=Men&showDefaultOption=true

What about a crepe sole? http://oakstreetbootmakers.com/footwear/brown-beefroll-crepe-sole-penny-loafer

How about these? They have a tan boat shoe sole though.

I was trying to find something similar, a boat shoe loafer without the laces on the side. I wanted to buy the timberlands but they only go up to size 11 for some reason and I need 13s. They do have navy with a white sole too.

I gave up and just bought the classic sperry s with laces today.

I picked up a pair of these the other day in brown

Update - these things run large. I normally wear a 10 but bought a 9.5 Now after wearing them about 3 times in the last week they have stretched so much that I am debating returning them for a pair of 9s.

I bought those 2 years ago. Sole is replaceable. It's the same sole they put on most boat shoes! Maybe it's possible to find them online. There are other colors!
