Introducing our first Unlined Traveler Penny Loafer in a beautiful Black Marbled Shell. The unlined vamp creates a more forgiving feel and will develop beautiful rolls as you break them in.
Horween produces Black Marbled Shell Cordovan by applying several layers of black dye onto vegetable-tanned shells and then scraping off layers of the finish to produce its marbled effect. The end result is a field of obsidian with veins and speckles of rich amber and verdigris.
Each shell is a sedimentary-like layering of blacks, honey, and sometimes green. Like a marble slab, bronze and emerald striations cut through at varying angles.
Due to the hand-processed nature of creating the marbled effect, color variation is expected. The pattern and shade will not match the photo sample. Some pairs will be amber-heavy, others green. Color variation between panels is also common and considered acceptable. This shell is the antithesis of a cookie-cutter leather.
Note: Pre-orders cannot be canceled, refunded, or exchanged.

Horween CXL has a deep luster. Scuffs buff out easily with a horsehair brush. The contrast between the upper and sole is quite distinctive. Compliments abound!
The Leo last is generous--but not excessive. I was already comfortable right out of the box, and it just keeps improving.
With what seems like increasingly variable quality control with some of the bigger premium shoe manufacturers, the across-the-board attention to detail seen in these shoes is encouraging. There are definitely more Grant Stone shoes in my future.
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.
