Ludlow penny loafers

Get free shipping always with J.Crew Passport

our new dress shoes are the perfect foundation for Ludlow suits, chinos or denim. We start with thick Italian leather insoles, a cork-bed filler that molds to your foot for a custom fit, and a Goodyear welt, so you can resole them again and again. We use Italian leather that is vegetable tanned, a process with thousands of years of history that gives the leather depth, and a natural look and feel, which improves with age. The penny loafer was first in high demand with college students in the 1930s (it fit the two cents needed for a phone call). It's one of the few shoes that can be worn with almost anything, from shorts to a suit.
