We’ve all been there. The leather loafers that chaff your ankles raw until you finally break them in. The Drift Penny Loafer is LUCA’s answer to the problem, and the secret is in the materials. Each pair is handmade by artisans in our Portuguese factory, using buttery soft leathers and an eco-friendly crepe rubber outsole. The handsewn moc-toe stitch provides a roomier toe box than your traditional penny loafer, and the leather liner and insole allows you to wear them confidently with or without socks (no clenching your feet to avoid slipping here). Once you switch to these you’ll wonder why loafers weren’t designed to be so comfort-driven in the first place.
