Oar Stripe penny loafers in Italian leather
staying true to the original 1930s design that was popular with college students (it fit the two cents needed for a phone call). Crafted in rich vegetable-tanned, smooth-grain Italian leather for durability, the loafers are finished with a slip-resistant rubber and leather outsole. (They also have a Goodyear welt, so you can resole them again and again.) The stripe on the back pull tab signifies that these shoes are part of our Oar Stripe collection of versatile, high-quality modern classics.

What customers are saying:
Many customers loved the classic style and versatile look of these loafers, noting that they easily dress up casual or semi-formal outfits. A strong recommendation across many reviews was to order at least a half-size up, as the shoes tend to fit smaller and feel quite snug initially. Some customers mentioned the break‐in period is a few days, with a few even suggesting using methods like shoe trees or stretchers to help ease in comfort. Overall, customers appreciate the design and value, just advising a bit of extra care with sizing to ensure a great fit.

Odd sizing
September 21, 2019I really wanted a pair of these, but the 9.5 (I normally wear 9 or 9.5) seemed more like an 8.5; unfortunately the 10 still seemed like a 10.

Sizes all over the place!
September 5, 2019Bought a pair of wingtip shoes same brand and size, they fit perfect. Therefore, I ignored the comments about seizing up and these ones are super narrow. Total disappointment.

Nice shoe but runs small
September 3, 2019Beautiful shoe, and good quality. However it runs small, so get a half to full size bigger. I normally wear a size 11 in just about all my shoes but I couldn't even slip my foot into an 11 in this shoe. Tried both the 11.5 and the 12. Went with the 11.5 after the sales person pointed out that even if the 11.5 still felt snug, the 12 would probably start to feel too loose once they were broken in. Loose is not a good quality in a slip on. I was able to wear them out of the box for 7-8 hours and they felt fine. For me, that is the sign of a product that is made with quality materials.

Great shoe that runs SMALL!!
August 30, 2019So first I will say that I own 4 pairs of the Oar Stripe Jcrew shoes and the previous 3 fit amazing. Great quality leather and just ovetrall great shoes. Same with these loafers but they run VERY SMALL. I'm used to having to size down about a half size with loafers because they should fit a bit snug. I got my regular size with these and had to squeeze into them. Great leather, sole, and overall look but the size control on these was very bad.

Try these on in store first
August 23, 2019As many other reviewers have pointed out these shoes run small. I sized up half a size and they fit great and are very comfortable. No bleeding heels or broken toes. I would recommend checking these out in stores first to see what size fits best. Otherwise, I have received tons of compliments on these shoes. They've got a great subtle shine and the colors are both very rich. Can't say anything about long term durability as I've only had them for a month but they've held up great since. If you could get these on sale (sub 150), and sort out the sizing issues, I'd say they're probably the best loafer in that price range.
