Women’s Penny Loafer: Made to Order
Loafers were first worn in Norway dating back to the nineteenth century. New England shoemakers adopted the style and added their own stamp, the iconic penny strap on the top during the 1930s. Here at Quoddy, we have made some improvements of our own with some Down East ingenuity and workmanship. Our True Penny uppers are made the traditional way with true moc construction in fine pull-up or hot-stuffed leathers. We build the leather soles and heels by hand. We also incorporate some boat-shoe style siping on the forefoot of the outsoles to enhance flexibility and traction. We add a layer of natural cork in the heels to provide extra cushioning and comfort. Your feet will feel the difference. Handmade in Maine.
