What is Goodyear construction?

The upper is stitched to a welt that is attached to the sole, so a cobbler can replace the sole instead of discarding the shoe. It is sturdier and more repairable than cemented construction.

Are these good for everyday wear?

They work for office and smart-casual days, but the suede upper and leather sole need care. Keep them out of rain and rotate them with other shoes.

How does the memory foam insole feel?

The high-density memory foam sits under a leather insole, so it cushions the foot while the leather surface stays breathable. It is softer than a plain leather insole.

Do they fit true to size?

Penny loafers are usually worn snug because there are no laces. If you are between sizes or have wide feet, consider going up half a size.

How should I care for suede and a leather sole?

Brush the suede and apply a protector spray before first wear. Let the leather sole dry slowly if it gets wet, and have a cobbler add a thin rubber sole if you walk on pavement a lot.
