Dress it up or down, workday to weekend
G.H.BASS positions the Whitney penny loafer as a versatile slip-on for styling across occasions, describing it as elegant enough for tailored separates yet relaxed enough for denim and dresses. As the brand tells it, the shoe transitions seamlessly from workdays to weekends.[1]
A classic loafer built to be resoled and worn for years
These leather penny loafers are designed with a resoleable leather outsole, so the soles can be replaced when they wear down instead of replacing the whole shoe. The brand describes durable construction meant to be worn, restored, and appreciated over time, making these a long-term staple for workdays and weekends.[1,2]
Enhanced Breathability and Heel Stability
The loafers feature a Moulded Weejuns® leather footbed equipped with perforations for enhanced breathability during wear. For improved stability, the leather outsole includes a non-slip insert at the heel.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Whitney Leather Penny Loafers: Choose this if you want a classic slip-on penny loafer in warm brown leather, with a hand-sewn moc toe, signature Whale Tail penny keeper, and a leather-lined interior with a perforated Weejuns footbed for breathability. It suits shoppers who value durable, resoleable Blake-stitch construction with a leather outsole, a flat heel of about 0.5 inches, and versatile wear from tailored looks to denim, per the brand's styling description. Note that this style runs big, and the brand recommends sizing down half a size.[1,2,3,4] | Logan Weejuns Basketweave Penny Loafers Men: Choose this if you want a casual, summer-leaning penny loafer with a preppy South American look, featuring a supple braided leather basketweave vamp, moc-toe stitching, and a penny strap in black. It offers moccasin-style comfort details like a memory foam midsole and dual-density foam footbed, plus durable Goodyear welt construction that can be resoled, and GQ notes chunkier Weejuns-style silhouettes pair well with denim. Be aware the leather outer sole needs some scuffing in before gaining traction—one reviewer noted minor slipping on the first few wears—though the rubberized heel is designed for better grip and the shoes mold to your feet over time.[5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] | Larson Weejuns Black Loafers Men: Choose this if you want an elegant black penny loafer to accentuate a dressy style, with handsewn moccasin construction, a resoleable leather outsole, and a memory foam midsole over a leather sole with a rubberized heel for better grip. The smooth, polished black leather upper with a keyhole penny strap suits classic wardrobes, and one reviewer reports they fit slightly narrow or low-volume feet especially well in a normal Brannock-measured size, though a slim-footed commenter found true-to-size slipping and a size down initially tight. Comfort experiences are mixed — some wearers love the look but report heel pain or find them uncomfortable during long walking, so expect some break-in consideration before all-day wear.[13,14,15,16,17,18,19] |

Very nice shoe
Unfortunately sizing not correct I ordered 8.5 …online size chart indicated 8.5U. S =39uk I received 40uK…. this definitely was a size 9 and narrow fit. Beautiful shoe, seemed to have a bit of an arch support.
