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.
