This calf penny loafer is our rendition of a dressier slip-on. This Italian Baby Calf is a vegetable-tanned leather with a higher sheen. It is very transparent, which allows profound highs and lows. It also means that any natural traits, such as growth marks, are visible. These should not be considered defects but merely the article's natural base. The raw character and high-shine finish are the beauty of this particular vegetable tannage.

Our penny loafer was created with two things in mind: versatility and comfort. It's the ultimate shoe for travel, given the ability to be paired with a sport coat or t-shirt and almost anything in between. We find ourselves wearing this shoe year-round—sockless with shorts/lightweight fabrics in the summer and with wool socks and trousers throughout the winter.

Traveler Penny Tobacco Calf

$412.00

Made with

Goodyear-welt Construction

Renowned for its durability and ability to be resoled repeatedly, Goodyear-welt construction involves stitching a welt—a strip of leather—around the shoe's perimeter, creating a cavity. After filling the cavity with the shank and cork, the sole is attached, providing strength and water resistance. This construction method results in shoes that are not only long-lasting but also easily repairable, making them a timeless investment in quality craftsmanship.

Utilizing the

Alexander Last

Explicitly designed for loafers, the Alexander Last features the classic contours and higher sidewalls of a rounded casual-comfort loafer compared to its dressier counterparts. The Alexander Last offers a sleek profile while maintaining a generous toe box, allowing your forefoot generous amounts of room.

Reviews

Be patient while breaking them in

"These loafers look great in person and can be worn with just about anything. Visually they have some heft to them, which I like. They are well made and very sturdy so the break-in process is taking a while. I get some heel slip and rubbing when I wear these without socks, so I’m not sure if I may have needed a slightly smaller size or if I just need to be patient and allow time to break them in some more. I ordered a half size smaller than my Allen Edmonds Park Avenues, per a recommendation that I received from the GS customer care team. This problem is eliminated when I wear them with a pair of Ondo no show socks. 10/10 would recommend."

— Quinn L. (5/5)

Look Amazing, incredibly uncomfortable

"I love how these shoes look. The leather is obviously high quality, and they’re well-constructed. The silhouette is a perfect, classic loafer. They do come with some minor QC issues, which I think is normal for a shoe of this quality in this price range (minor scuffs and stitching issues). The real downside is that they’re insanely uncomfortable. Even after many wears, they’re incredibly stiff and inflict a ton of pressure on my instep. Even though the height is roughly correct, there seems to be an incredibly stiff strip of leather there that is not softening over time. I’m continuing to wear them and like how they look, but I would probably not buy any more shoes from Grant Stone after this."

— John D. (3/5)

Great customer service

"Shoes are very well made. I really have to say the customer service was excellent; had to go back and forth between a few different sizes / widths and staff was very accommodating."

— Philip A. (5/5)

Comfortable, well-made shoe. Excellent value.

"I am hard to fit, but the extra wide shoe (sized down per the instructions) fits great. Quality made. Comfortable. Excellent value. Will be on the lookout for an oxblood version."

— Paul L. (5/5)

Beautiful loafers

"The tobacco calf leather is beautiful and versatile, the stitching is pristine, and the shoe looks great dressed up or down. Very happy with this purchase."

— Jorge P. (5/5)

Quality Loafers with all the Versatility you need

"These loafters have exceeded all of my expectations in what I have been looking for. My first "real" loafers that I have invested in and after extensive research, these check all the boxes. Comfort , quality, and versatility are the major categories I always look for and these do not fall short. Highly recommend if you are in the market and considering penny loafers."

— Evan M. (5/5)

First pair, fantastic

"Took a few days to wear in, but absolutely living up to the hype that brought me to the brand."

— Kate S. (5/5)

Excellent Craftsmanship and Comfort

"The Traveler Penny in Tobacco Calf has exceeded my expectations. The leather has a rich, beautiful color that looks even better in person, and the overall craftsmanship is exceptional. The stitching is clean, the finishing is first-rate, and the shoes have a substantial feel that inspires confidence they’ll last for many years. After a short break-in period, they became very comfortable and have molded nicely to my feet. They work equally well with jeans, chinos, or business attire, making them one of the most versatile pairs of shoes I own. Grant Stone delivers an impressive combination of quality, style, and value. These loafers have earned a permanent place in my rotation, and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase another pair."

Q&A

Does Grant Stone sell a belt that matches this shoe?
The Crimson CXL belt would probably be the closest match, but we don't sell a belt with the matching leather (tobacco calf).
If I wear a size 13 sneaker and I have a slimmer foot, would the best fit for me be a 12 E?
That would be a great place for you to start as many customers in your situation wear the 12E.
I have the chelsea boot in a 10.5D What size should I get the traveler loafer in?
The majority of our customers in your situation wear 10.5D in our Grant Stone loafer collection. If your Chelsea boot is large on you already, sometimes we'll see customers size down half a size. (10D in your situation)
