Sanders has been a staple in the shoemaking world—and British culture—since they opened their doors in 1873. More than a century of hard work, dedication, and craft has led them to produce some of the most high-quality shoes you can find, period. The Madrid Loafer lives up to the good reputation Sanders has earned throughout their long history. It’s a classic penny loafer made from 100% leather including the counter lining, and Goodyear-welted sole.

About Sanders
Honestly, it’s a mystery how Sanders has been able to keep such a low profile here in the USA. Just skim their history since 1873 and you’ll see what we’re saying: they were favored by the English army in WWI, worn by James Bond in 2015’s Spectre, and are widely known across the UK for their quality, heritage construction. Maybe they’ve just spent the majority of their effort on shoemaking, rather than promotion? Whatever the case, having their footwear in our collection makes us feel like we’ve ascended to a higher plane of connoisseurship. A hundred and fifty years later, it’s about time Sanders gets the recognition they deserve.
