Product Description

This model is an original Penny Loafer. The upper leather is horse leather, known in the trade as cordovan. Genuine Shell Cordovan from the Horween Tannery in Chicago is available in limited quanitities only, and is thus a true rarity. Characteristic of this exclusive material is its especially deep colouring, with an almost metallic sheen. This leather is extremely tough and wears very well, thanks to its high content of natural fats.

The insole is stitch-welted.

Beneath the insole is a layer of cork, providing additional resilience and insulation.

The simple leather sole is the lightest in the Heinrich Dinkelacker Collection.
A penny loafer should at first fit the foot snugly. The warmth and the natural forward roll of the foot will expand the leather.
