How does the Lewis differ from Allen Edmonds' dress penny loafers?

The Lewis is a casual shoe with a rubber sole and softer upper. The brand's dress loafers use leather soles and lean more formal. Pick the Lewis for jeans and chinos, the dress pairs for suits and slacks.

Does the suede hold up in wet weather?

The rubber sole helps with grip, but suede itself does not like rain. Treat it with a suede protector and avoid slush and salt. The leather version is the easier one to keep clean.

How should the Lewis fit?

It is a slip-on, so it should hold the heel without pinching the toes. Allen Edmonds sells several widths, so if you know your brannock size, order that width rather than sizing up.

Can I wear it with a suit?

It works with a casual suit or separates, but the rubber sole and soft upper read casual. For a formal look, a leather-soled loafer is the better match.
