Our notes
Traditionally made in a family-run factory in Spain, our Recycled Penny Loafers take a summer slip-on and build it almost entirely from recycled materials.
The soft canvas uppers are made from 50% recycled cotton, 30% organic cotton and 20% virgin cotton (Recycle Standard certificate No. CU-1002090), with rubber outsoles stitched on. Slip them on with or without socks — they're super breathable, and the linings are moisture-absorbing and antimicrobial to keep your feet fresh through the summer.
They're fully washable by hand, or in a short cool machine wash inside a towel to protect them from the drum, so you can keep them looking fresh however much you wear them.
These are really versatile shoes. Pair them with an outfit, keep them by the back door to throw on, or wear them as a genuinely comfy pair of house shoes.
- Upper
- Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials)
- Lining
- Unlined – the smooth vegan leather and woven textile of the upper sit directly against your foot, light and breathable for summer
- Insole
- Cushioned layered insole – a soft memory foam top layer over a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU) cut to fit the shoe
- Outsole
- Flexible TR outsole with a light tread for grip
- Shank
- No shank – a soft, flexible build that moves with your feet
- Construction
- Strobel construction – the upper is stitched directly to a soft textile base, with the sole bonded underneath. With no rigid board or stiffeners inside, it flexes naturally with your foot and stays light underfoot
- Water Resistance
- Not water-resistant – vegan suede will soak through in rain, though it won't mark or spoil when wet. Best kept for dry days, and treat with a waterproofing spray if you want some protection.
- Width
- D width fitting – a slightly wider fit with more volume than standard

- Order your usual size. Half size? Wider width fittings size up, narrower width fittings size down.

Super comfy, look great, beautifully made and holding-up well, thank you!
After finding the correct size, I love these shoes. They are super comfortable for me without socks. They do have a slightly rough cut, casual look which I really like. I plan to buy them in beige also.
have not worn yet so do not know
I bought two pairs of these, each of the two different colors. I find the fit to be too small and I have difficulty putting them on, besides they have practically no support or cushion.
Just got these right out of the box with a pair of derby's. These feel like they're made by two different companies, that's how substantial the difference is. There's some back heel part of the construction that feels stiffer than the outside material -- just generally uncomfortable. The overall construction just looks sloppy. I know these are recycled and have that rough cut aesthetic, but it just looks poorly put together. They're $40, so not a big loss here, but just super disappointed with them.
