The Beefroll Penny Loafer is our iconic shoe. Natural pull-up leather 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. This variation on our best-selling Beefroll Penny Loafers features Reltex Lactae hevea Crepe soles. The 100% natural latex Lactae Hevea soles are unrivaled in comfort and durability. This version of our Beefroll Penny Loafer is not only representative of the best of what we do but is also one of the most versatile shoes we make. The Lactae Hevea Crepe soles make these perfect for year round wear in wet weather. In addition to the unrivaled quality of Natural pull-up leather, 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. Genuine handsewn Moccasin construction. Made in Maine, USA. Sizing: The Beefroll Penny Loafer in unlined Natural pull-up leather 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.
The quality of the shoes are excellent and I've found the Reltex Lactae Hevea Crepe soles to be much more practical for wearing on a daily basis (e.g., wet sidewalks or floors). I went down a 1/2 size and they fit perfectly.
The loafers fit as described (that is order 1/2 size down) the sole is quite comfortable, I will likely get another pair of shoes with this rubber sole. The shoes were, at least to me, comfortable out of the box. Wore them for several hours of walking on the first day. Bought them at the factory, it was a great experience.
The Rancourt & Co. Beefroll Penny Loafer in natural pull-up leather and Reltex LH crepe soles is the perfect warm weather loafer. Living in FL, these are my daily “go to” shoes.
The unlined uppers are lightweight and breathable. The pull-up leather requires no break-in and are comfortable out of the box. With time, they’ve darkened to a deep honey color.
The Reltex LH soles are fantastic! Long-wearing with plenty of cushioning. I love them and own 3 pair of Rancourt loafers with LH soles.
Buying from Rancourt & Co. is a pleasure. Customer Service is outstanding. Thank you!
What the title says. The rubber is soft and comfy, and the loafer shows how well crafted it is from the first wear. The breakin period is legit, but I don't care about that; to me, it's proof that I'll have these for a long time. My only issue (and this is a nit) is that the black is more like a deep chocolate brown. Maybe they'll age into a darker shade over time, but it doesn't quite look truly black
Most comfortable summer loafers, also very beautiful
