Our penny loafer was created with two things in mind: versatility and comfort. It's the ultimate shoe for travel, given the ability to be paired with a sport coat or t-shirt and almost anything in between. We find ourselves wearing this shoe year-round—sockless with shorts/lightweight fabrics in the summer and with wool socks and denim through the winter.

Combining a forgiving upper leather and soft insole/outsole tannage, the Traveler Penny strikes the perfect balance of structure and support.

Traveler Penny Bourbon Suede

$395.00

Made with

Goodyear-welt Construction

Renowned for its durability and ability to be resoled repeatedly, Goodyear-welt construction involves stitching a welt—a strip of leather—around the shoe's perimeter, creating a cavity. After filling the cavity with the shank and cork, the sole is attached, providing strength and water resistance. This construction method results in shoes that are not only long-lasting but also easily repairable, making them a timeless investment in quality craftsmanship.

Utilizing the

Alexander Last

Explicitly designed for loafers, the Alexander Last features the classic contours and higher sidewalls of a rounded casual-comfort loafer compared to its dressier counterparts. The Alexander Last offers a sleek profile while maintaining a generous toe box, allowing your forefoot generous amounts of room.

Reviews

Good but mixed

"I just received my GS Traveler in bourbon suede. They look to be very well made and seem to fit well (although I did not order the size recommended by GS AI but went instead with the recommendation of an actual person from a competitor). My small pet peeve is that the shoes look slightly worn. There are slight indentations on the sole as if they have been worn outside briefly and the suede also looks ever so slightly used. I will keep them as within a week of wear they would look like this anyway but c'mon this is my first order from GS. They do really seem to be very high quality for the price and I am pleased but for the aforementioned issue."

Only recently became aware of

"Only recently became aware of Grant Stone foot ware. For years I purchased most of my shoes (generally loafers) from Allen Edmunds, J&M, or Sebago. Over the last year or so I have been less than happy either with the breath of styles, sizes and quality so I started looking for other options and stumbled upon Grant Stone from a YouTube blog. I'm very happy the fit, quality and color of the shoe was exceptional and I'm looking forward to trying out your Chelsea boots in the fall."

Top-of-the-line

"I can’t say enough about these shoes. It took me a minute to get the fit right but with some help from customer service, we got the fit perfect. The shoes were comfortable right out of the box and with each wearing they become more comfortable!"

Tom D. (5/5)

"Nothing like the colour shown online. The penny bourbon is extremely dark"

Great Fit and Great Packaging

"I loved the fabric and they fit the best out of any loafer- The packaging was superb and the personal inspection was top notch. I am hoping they come out with the sand color in this make and model"

Q&A

Do the shoes come in a different color??
Only one color of bourbon suede. We sell the loafers in a few different colors and articles of leather. This suede article is from CF Stead.
