Product Insights
A Spanish-made patent leather penny loafer from Simons at 169 CAD, positioned as the dressiest form in the loafer category and capped at business casual, whose central promise is immediate comfort with no break-in and all-day wear from the first outing. The narrow last is true to size for slim feet but too tight for wide feet, so sizing up is the standard correction, which the full EU 37-41 run in both black and burgundy permits without changing colour; heel height is 2 cm, keeping the foot near-flat and neutral. The patent upper is a multilayer lacquer over thin corrected-grain leather, a cured gloss that reads even glossier in person than in the listing photos and never develops a natural patina, though the colour sits under a clear top coat and holds its depth through flex, and the oxblood variant is singled out for a balanced vintage sheen; the finish resists water but traps heat, which the suede lining mitigates, and a new pair off-gasses far less than solvent-finished patent. Cushioning comes only from the padded leather footbed, which moulds to the foot with no foam or EVA midsole layer beneath it. Anti-slip rubber at the heel improves wet-weather grip over full-leather soles, but the forefoot sole is smooth and treadless. Construction traces to the Aurland moccasin with the 1936 saddle strap across the vamp, executed in the Elche-Vinalopó cluster, and reviewers wear the structured, office-ready silhouette with jeans, to the office, and dressed up for semi-formal evenings. The tradeoff is a uniform, sealed, corrected-grain surface—breathable only through its lining and cushioned only by leather—that buys low maintenance and dressiness at the cost of grain character and forefoot traction.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Narrow last fits slim feet true to size but is too tight for wide feet; size up to wear with socks.
- Size range
- Both black and burgundy span the full EU 37-41 size run, so size can be corrected without changing color.
- Patent finish
- A cured multilayer gloss over corrected grain — dressy, with no natural grain patina.
- Break-in
- Buyers report no break-in period and all-day comfort from the first wear.
- Breathability
- Sealed lacquer upper resists water but traps heat; suede lining handles moisture.
- Cushioning
- The padded leather footbed is the only cushioning — no foam or EVA midsole.
- Sheen and color
- Oxblood variant is praised as a perfect vintage shade with balanced sheen.
- Footbed
- Padded leather footbed cushions and molds to the foot, and is the only cushioning layer — no EVA midsole.
- Traction
- Anti-slip rubber at the heel improves wet-weather traction vs full-leather soles, but the forefoot sole is smooth with no tread.
- Heel height
- The heel measures 2 cm (0.75 inches), which is low enough to keep the foot in a near-flat, neutral position during wear.
- Surface grain
- Patent gloss sits on corrected grain, so the upper keeps a uniform shine and never develops a patina.
- Colour depth
- The colour sits beneath a clear top coat, so it keeps its depth where the shoe flexes.
- Unboxing smell
- A new pair off-gasses far less than solvent-finished patent.
- Formality
- Dressiest loafer form: patent finish and black or burgundy, capping at business casual.
- Heritage
- Traces to the Aurland moccasin, with the 1936 saddle strap across the vamp.
- Patent construction
- The patent upper is a multilayer lacquer over thin corrected-grain leather, not a single coat.
- Photo match
- Buyers report the patent reads glossier in person than the listing photos suggest.
- Made in Spain
- Made in Spain, in the Elche-Vinalopó cluster that makes over half the country's shoes.
- Value
- Spanish-made to a quality comparable with Portuguese and Italian makers, at Can$169.
- Manufacturing origin
- Made in Spain inside the Elche-Vinalopó cluster of 2,500-plus shoe makers.
- Styling range
- Reviewers wear them to the office, with jeans, and dressed up for semi-formal evenings.
- Silhouette
- Stitched saddle strap and low flat profile keep the silhouette structured and office-ready.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Patent Leather Penny Loafers Made In Spain Women: Choose this if you want a sleek patent-leather penny loafer for work, casual outfits, or semi-formal events — reviewers report supple leather with no break-in and all-day comfort, on a genuine leather upper with suede lining, padded footbed, and a low 0.75-inch (2 cm) stacked heel, in black or burgundy sizes 37 to 41. Note that reviewers consistently say the fit runs small and narrow, suiting slim feet best; size up if you have wide feet or plan to wear socks. Some also found the patent leather shinier in person than it appears online.[1,2] | Suede Penny Loafers Made In Spain Women: Choose these if you want a classic, polished penny loafer for office or business casual wear: reviewers report soft suede, a broken-in-feeling footbed, and comfortable all-day wear with no break-in period. Note they run narrow with a confusing EU/US size chart, so many reviewers needed a half-size up, and arch support is minimal, which may discomfort those with high arches or plantar fasciitis. One reviewer also found the polished design felt overdressed for very laid-back outfits.[3] | Lug-Sole Platform Penny Loafers Made In Portugal Women: Choose this if you want a soft dark brown suede penny loafer with a chunky black lug platform that feels comfortable right out of the box and gets called cute by customers — a style-focused occasional or desk-to-dinner shoe (a non-slip insole is often added for grip). Know that sizing runs inconsistently, so your usual European size may run short or long and exchanges or returns are likely, and that the sole adhesion is unreliable, with some soles flaking off after as little as two days of wear, so it is not built for heavy daily rotation.[4] |

Loafer Love
Just the right amount of sheen on a vintage style penny loafer. The colour is a perfect oxblood. No breaking in required.
A high quality shoe that fits true to size
A very attractive shoe with a substantial look and feel. In an era of cheap shoes, these are very good quality. The sole is substantial without being too heavy and is not paper thin like so many loafers I’ve tried. They look and feel high quality. The only complaint is that the flap part on the vamp is too thin. It’s not noticeable when others see the shoe or looking in the mirror but it’s thin and bendable. It should be a solid piece. These loafers are replacing a beloved expensive pair I’ve had for 10 years and had re-soled. They are equally good quality overall to my old pair except for the flap part which is flimsier. I have a slightly narrow foot and they fit perfectly in my typical size so are true to size. The patent makes them a bit dressier and less dull! They are much better quality than recent Cole Haan shoes I’ve bought whose soles have been slippery and thin. The sole on these is grippy rubber and will last well.
Super comfortable
Really comfortable! Didn't need any time to break in.
Perfect
They are the perfect simple loafer, and comfortable!
Great show and value
Comfortable and stylish, good quality and excellent price point for these lovely patent leather loafers. I’m typically between 8 and 9 and opted for 39 (I believe that translates to 9, but could be wrong). Fits well for a ‘normal’ foot, meaning not too wide or narrow. Comfortable to walk in with decent support / sole. Would recommend!
Loved the look
I loved the look of the shoe but not made for wide feet. The shoes are narrow and I’m not sure if they gonna stretch, so I had to return
Pratique
Je voulais des chaussures passepartout. senportr avec tout et je n'ai pas eu mal aux pieds!

Too narrow for me
Loafers look lovely and are of great quality but too narrow for me. Seems like they should have been identified as for narrow feet initially. Oh well, the search real leather loafers continues.
