Radical Yes 'Liberation' Penny Loafer - Black

We are so excited to present an updated version of our classic Penny Loafer. Finished in Luxe boxed leather that will hold it's shine forever, these are the everyday toe tappers you have been dreaming of!

On the upper itself, to keep it feeling feminine we have used a delicate zigzag cutting detail to the tongue and topline seam that give the shoe a modern (radical!) twist. The silhouette is kept otherwise classic with the band through the vamp (over the arch of the foot) finished with signature 20s style wing cut out detail that opens the top of the shoe up in the most perfect way. Honestly we could not be more proud of these shoes and consider them one of the best loafers we have ever made.

The Boxed Leather is stiff - much more so than previous loafers we have made - so they do start out feeling firm in a kind of ‘school shoe' way. The leather is very high quality and thick handled so it will take time to warm up and mould to your feet. If you are in-between sizes, we recommend sizing up. You can check out our size guide here.

This is a full leather upper / leather lined shoe so will have natural stretch of around 5 - 7% depending on the amount of pressure applied to the upper. 

True Black leather to complete your classics capsule wardrobe. The strength of the boxed leather lies in it's trickery of being able to throw different shades of black depending on what you are wearing them with - opaque black tights make them feel a little more shiny, whilst a contrasted white ankle sock will bring the more matte qualities of the upper to life. We love shoes that do tricks!

Lined with soft rose pink leather lining for a touch of feminine humour to this otherwise masculine silhouette. We love the heavy black outsole for a Parisian inspired contrast that also makes wearing this classic palette a sinch. Wear with bare feet and cropped anything for Spring and you have a total show stopping exclamation mark on your feet. This leather is also highly weather proof - the heavily waxed upper means the leather is no longer porous so will repel dirt and makes for easy care wipe off.

To the rock show with a blazer, to the studio with a trench, to school pick up with a juxtaposed and tucked in vintage sweat, with a Savers man-style suit for weekend dress ups, with washed denim and a white cable-knit for Saturday morning sharp at brunch, on secret mid-week adventures alone to the gallery to walk and muse in. Scattering 'La Garçon'  inspired daydreams everywhere they wander, the easiest shoe to match with all your moods - ever.

This is an extremely high quality leather upper so it does need care. 

Leather is a wonderful material, breathable, durable and beautiful. But without a bit of love it can dry out and deteriorate.

For optimum care, we recommend "Waproo Waterproofer" to protect them from unexpected showers. We recommend spraying monthly on the Full Moon.

Polish your leather shoes around once a month and clean when necessary with a leather conditioner and soft rag to remove any dirt accumulated on your travels.

For extra special treatment, polishing helps renew shoes that have developed scratches or other signs of regular wear. Wax and cream polishes will breath new life into your beloved toe tappers. Once your newly polished shoes have dried you can re-apply a waterproof spray for extra protection.
