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.

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
Favorite Penny Loafers
"It took a couple attempts to find my exact size (hint: go down a half to full size if you are wide-footed and order the E / EEE), but I am so happy with my new Traveler Pennys! Perfect for the office or Saturday morning errands. I'll patiently wait until my size comes back in the Choc Espresso . . . thanks again Grant Stone!"
Grant Stone Penny Loafers in Suede
"I recently bought the Grant Stone Penny Loafers in Suede and absolutely love them. They are substantially built with a high focus on quality while being very comfortable."
Great loafers!
"These loafers are great! The color is beautiful and the suede is butter soft. I’ve been wearing them a lot since receiving, I can’t take them off! They go with everything. Big shoutout to Kim for helping me decide on a size! Will definitely be picking up a different style soon."
Solid unlined loafer
"This is my second pair of Grant Stone products. The last on these shoes fits like a dream, and the suede seems to be top quality. I had to go down one full size from my normal Brannock size,Rather than I have size. Very happy with these and would recommend."
Traveler Penny Espresso Suede
"Perfect color for the Fall and Winter season."
Best loafers I own
"These loafers far exceeded my expectations. They are constructed beautifully with literally no blemishes…at all. The last straddles the line between casual and dressy, enabling them to be used for all occasions. The stitching on the toes and outsole was perfect. These are the best loafers I have ever owned."
Good so far
"So far so good, I'll update as it goes. Break in has been a little stiff, but they look great and keep getting better. Definitely size down ½."
Great shoe and premium value
"Good quality and premium value as you should expect from Grant stone. Runs a bit big so order half size down. Personal preference would be more visible exposed wood on the side sole."
Fit and finish is perfect
"Fit and finish is perfect as usual With GS, while the suede is soft requiring zero break in and looking handsome and sophisticated to boot. Love these loafers!"
