The Beefroll Penny Loafer is our most iconic style. Cut from unlined Horween Chromexcel it doesn't get any more uniquely American than this. Chromexcel is the flagship leather from the iconic Horween Tannery in Chicago, IL. Chromexcel is impregnated with a proprietary blend of natural oils and waxes, this special tannage gives the leather a number of distinctive properties. It has a beautiful bright finish, unique "pull-up" character, soft and flexible structure, and a "self polishing" property. Over time the leather will "bloom", which means the oils and waxes make their way to the surface, leaving a light white film on the leather. It's as simple as buffing with a horsehair brush or soft cloth and you'll restore the beautiful finish of the leather. Learn more about Horween's Chromexcel leather here. In addition to the unrivaled quality of Chromexcel, we've crafted these shoes without a leather lining and using our genuine handsewn moccasin construction. As you wear them your feet will warm up the leather and they will literally mold to your feet. We are absolutely confident that these will become your favorite pair of shoes. The Beefroll is rounded out with a natural leather midsole and our Watertight oiled leather outsole for a modern yet sophisticated dress-casual look. Genuine handsewn Moccasin construction. Made in Maine, USA. Sizing: The Beefroll Penny Loafer in unlined Chromexcel tends to run larger than our other shoes. It's best that these fit snug at first as they will stretch and conform to your feet. We recommend ordering a half size down from your normal size. eg. If you normally wear 10D, order 9.5D.
I have been wearing penny loafers for 50+ years...The Rancourt Beefroll loafer in Natural Chromexcel are the best Iv’e ever owned!
The shoes look and feel good, they came with a few loose threads and scuffs along the sole but otherwise feels quality. Expected maybe a little higher for the price but would recommend these to someone needing casual loafers.
Very well made and comfortable penny loafer with classic profile and gorgeous leather. These thumbs? They are up.
These loafers are great. The chromexcel leather is by far the highest quality I’ve felt in a shoe (including ca. 1960s Gucci loafers, far better than today’s version), and the sole is rock-solid. I wore these for a week straight out of the box with no socks, including many nights walking through Rome and a full 24-hour travel day, and they were more comfortable than sneakers. No break-in period required.
Color 8 is a bit more purple in-person than it show in photos, but is still a beautiful and unique tone that looks like it will wear in nicely.
Fit is slightly larger than most reviews indicate. I’m usually a 9.5, ordered a 9, and could do with a slightly tighter fit - still more than workable, but not the glove-tight fit recommended.
Received them within the week with no shipping delays or issues despite low stock.
I have worn many shoes over the years (Alden, AE, Gucci). These look and feel as good as any pair I have worn. I will certainly order again.
