Skylar | Chunky Lug Sole Penny Strap Faux Suede Loafers

A penny loafer usually sits low and quiet. This one keeps the moc-toe stitching and the classic strap across the vamp, but sets it all on a chunky lug sole thick enough to change the whole proportion of the shoe - the heritage shape with the tread of something built for pavement, not a boardroom floor.The upper is a faux-suede finish in a rich tone, with the seam running up from the toe in the traditional moccasin construction and a keeper strap holding a slot open across the front, exactly where a real penny would once have sat. The sole is where the shoe actually spends its weight: deep-cut lugs run the full length, and a two-tone edge separates the dark tread from the coloured upper in a hard line rather than a blend.It reads as a loafer from a distance and works like a walking shoe up close, which is the entire appeal of the chunky-sole revival.Details You'll Love Deep-cut lug sole - a thick tread built for grip and distance, not the thin leather sole a loafer traditionally carries. Classic penny keeper strap - the moccasin-seam vamp with an open slot across the front, straight from the original design. Faux suede upper - a rich napped finish without the durability trade-offs of the real thing. Two-tone sole edge - a hard line between tread and upper rather than a blended finish. Slip-on construction - no laces, on and off at the door.
