An updated classic loafer. 

Penny Loafers not only have to be attractive, they have to be practical. The Roy Loafers are both, and so much more. Taking their cue from the style that was a favorite of everyone from preppies to punks, the Roys bring the classic firmly into the 21st century with precise lines, immaculate stitching, a wide saddle and a pronounced vamp. They slip on and off with ease, and look amazing with shorts, casual or dressy pants, crisp linen and fitted jeans. So many choices for such a versatile shoe.

This product is made from full-grain calfskin leather sourced from a Gold-Rated tannery based in Arzignano, Italy. Being the highest level of recognition awarded by the Leather Working Group, a Gold rating signifies the leather manufacturer meets the most stringent criteria and demonstrates a strong commitment to mitigating its environmental impact.

Details don’t only matter, they’re everything.

Full-Grain Leather

Highly breathable, flexible and durable, full-grain calfskin leather holds its structure and will conform to the shape of your feet. Conditioned with shea butter and carnauba wax for suppleness and a deep color, a unique patina will develop over time.

Vachetta Leather Lining

A wholecut piece of soft Vachetta leather lines the interior of your shoes to smooth over any joints or seams. Its natural temperature regulating, moisture absorbing, odor controlling and breathability properties will also keep your feet fresh and comfortable.

Leather Sole

The soles are crafted from full-grain, veg-tan leather bends which give you an excellent balance between comfort and sturdiness. Robust yet flexible, this material is prized for its beauty, durability and practicality. It’s also easy to replace when needed.

SBR Rubber Heel Caps

Abrasion resistant SBR rubber heel caps give you extra traction, support and resilience. They’re attached with serrated brass tacks for extra reinforcement which add to the solid construction and longevity of the heel.

Waxed Thread

Strong, flexible and resistant to wear and tear, waxed thread weaves easily through leather and acts as a sealant against moisture, mildew and dirt. It keeps your items intact and won’t unravel due to the lock stitching method we use.

Handcrafted with integrity

Great value shouldn't come at the expense of human dignity. For us, it's equally important to provide an excellent experience to you and to our craftspeople.

FAQs

  • What is your manufacturing process? 

    It takes at least 150 manual steps to make a pair of Beckett Simonon shoes. Our highly skilled and dedicated artisans either execute the step by hand (as in the cutting of leather and application of the soles) or with the help of a hand-operated machine. The entire process takes between 6 to 8 weeks to complete since we don't cut corners and pay extra attention to every detail in order to guarantee the longevity of our products and your continued satisfaction.

  • What size should I order?

    If you know your Brannock device size (the measurement tool you see in shoe stores), order that size. If you don’t know this size, but have dress shoes from other high-end brands, use that size. For reference, see our size chart. Please contact Customer Service if you need a personalized recommendation.

    All of our shoes are made with a standard D width, however, if you require a wide or slender fit, we might be able to accommodate you:

    If you have a wide foot, such as an E width, going up a half size should work for you (for example if you are a size 9E, order 9.5 with us).

    If you have a slender foot, such as a C width, going down a half size should work for you (for example if you are a size 9C, order 8.5 with us).

  • How long does it take to break-in the shoes?

    Generally, your shoes should be comfortable straight out of the box and require little or no break-in period. However, it’s a personal experience which depends on your foot shape, making sure you have the correct size, the types of socks you wear and the way you walk. If you find the shoes too stiff at first, don’t worry - they’ll soften and conform to the shape of your feet over time. If you experience any discomfort, we recommend you wear your shoes indoors before wearing them for a long period outside. If it persists, please contact Customer Service.
