Ashworth Suede Penny Loafer

The penny loafer is the one shape in men's footwear that never had to reinvent itself. The Ashworth keeps it as it should be — a clean suede upper, a saddle strap cut with the classic slot, and a moccasin seam stitched around the toe by hand.

What separates it from a casual slip-on is underneath. A low stacked heel and a slim leather-look sole give the shoe a proper line, so it sits correctly under a trouser break instead of sitting flat like a summer shoe.

Inside, a tan lining runs the full length with a cushioned bed at the heel. The collar is padded just enough to stop it biting across the top of the foot before the suede has softened.

This is the loafer for the days that need a shoe rather than a slip-on. With grey flannel, with navy tailoring, with dark denim on the days off.
