Okay, so these Stride Penny Loafers are pretty much exactly what you need for a bit of understated chic. They’re made from this super soft milled calf leather, which honestly just feels lovely against your foot and means you can wear them all day without any drama. The fit is really comfy, it’s not one of those shoes you need to ‘break in’. Design-wise, they’ve kept it classic with the penny strap, but added a neat little Gingko leaf cut-out, which is such a nice detail. The lines are clean, nothing fussy, and they’ve got a durable rubber sole, so you know they’ll actually last. You can chuck these on for pretty much anything – heading into the office, grabbing a coffee, or even for a relaxed dinner out. They just work.
