Product Description
Introducing whole new version of our popular unlined penny lloafer. For this specific loafer range we have developed a new last from scratch: The Nova Last. This last is designed to provide a superior loafer fit, featuring and adjusted heel fit to prevent any possible slippage and a generous fit in the forefoot, allowing for a very comfortable fit from day one. Featuring a round toe with a flat profile for a more distressed look.
Aside from the new last used in the production of this loafers, this new range of loafers come fully unlined and feature soft leather heel counters & toe puffs making these truly soft & comfortable from day one.
For this specific version we've went with a beautiful full grain embossed calf, exclusively sourced from Tanneries Haas in the beautiful region de l’Alsace in France. This leather is entirely full grain and made with traditional Alsatian tanning techniques. The leather is through-dyed, double tanned (chrome tanned and vegetable re-tanned with a blend of chestnut, quebracho & mimosa) and hot stuffed with a mix of greases to nourish the leather, which provide the leather its distinctive, beautiful and rich glow, mellow touch & exceptional softness. Its distictive grain and natural finish (achieved thanks to the veg-tanning) allow the development of a beautiful and aggressive patina that will make every single pair unique and interesting over the time.
To produce this stunning leather only A-grade selection skins can be used, and so less than thirty percent of the skins that come to the tannery are suitable for the Barenia production. A very special and true luxurious leather, perfect to be used either lined or unlined, for the ultimate suppleness and comfort.
As the rest of our shoes this loafer is made to last & to just get better looking & more comfortable over the time. When the time comes, fully resoleable & rebuildable.

Common Fit Questions
Can I use my sneaker's size as a reference?
Goodyear Welted shoes & sneakers are made & fit quite differently. Sneaker fit is quite forgiving, whereas in a Goodyear Welted pair of shoes you'd like to have a close and adjusted feel in order to have the best and most comfortable fit.
Said that, better to compare with another pair of Goodyear Welted or dress shoes you have or have tried before.
What do you recommend if I am in between sizes?
If you're in between sizes, size up. Too tight shoes will end up resulting uncomfortable or not wearable.
Do your lasts fit all the same?
No they don't. Said that, most of our lasts are UK E width (medium/regular fit) and you most likely will be wearing the same size across many of them.
We recommend checking our Lasts page for a more detailed description of each of the lasts we currently have in production.
I wear a special size, can you produce a pair for me?
Sure! Most of our ready to wear production goes from size 6UK to 12UK, but if you happen to wear a smaller or larger size, we can definitely help & specially make any pair from our collection for you. Please do contact our CX Team, we'll be delighted to assist you.
I wear orthotics—Can I remove the insoles?
The answer is no, but there are a few exceptions. The leather insole is a structural part of our shoes/boots, is where the Welt & uppers are stitched through the welting process, and so it cannot be removed.
Said that, there is one exception, which is our Ultraflex System construction, which aside from the structural leather insole also comes with an additional memory foam insole on top of it. This memory foam insole can be removed easily.
