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 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.
These shoes were great but I ordered them in January and received them in May. Fits great, good craftsmanship - though the sole wears our pretty quickly. Will have to resole already.
I’ve been wearing them a lot over the summer, and they’re well broken in and very comfortable. They are 1/2 size down from brannock and went from perfect to a touch loose in the heel, causing slip. I bought a really thin leather insole and we’re back to perfect. If I bought a second pair in chromexcel, I’d probably go a full size down.
The shoe is a masterpiece and very comfortable. The customer service was very understanding and accommodate my request for return. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I definitely buy again and recommend you.
I initially followed the sizing guidance and went 1/2 size down from my normal size— still too big even with medium weight socks. Rancourt made replacement easy and full size down turned out to be perfect- slightly snug with thin socks, no heel slippage. CXL stretches beautifully so I’m sure these will be a perfect fit after a couple of wears. For reference, a size 10 in Adidas is a perfect fit for me and I ended up going 9.0D in these loafers. Great quality and now that I’ve got the sizing figured out I will definitely be adding another color in the near future
