Our modern take on a classic penny loafer. Handcrafted in a bold espresso spazzolato, the ELBA updates the timeless style with our signature notched welt and angled leather heel. We’ll live in these loafers with everything from oversized suits, to cuffed jeans and socks to long skirts.

Our shoes are made from the highest quality leather which will last season after season. Leather is a natural material and will give with wear.

  • 100% Italian leather in espresso spazzolato
  • 0.75" angled heel with leather sole
  • Leather and rubber split chip heel cap for enhanced durability

This material may feel snug when you first put them on. This is normal as they will need a little breaking in to make them yours. Before you know it, the leather will take the shape of your foot and become your everyday favorite. We suggest wearing them with socks around the house until they soften.

  • Fitting true to size
  • ELBA is the last used for this loafer. Learn more about lasts here.

This leather is a high shine, full-grain leather that achieves it's luster and depth of color after a great deal of brushing by hand and polishing wheels. It's a very durable leather and easy to maintain, but is still susceptible to marks as you begin to wear. To clean, wipe dirt or other spills off the leather with a damp cloth, then pat dry. Spazzolato requires only an occasional polish with a cloth or light leather conditioner. Please test the cleaner on a small portion of your shoe to ensure no discoloration before applying all over. We advise against using any cleaning products, as they will damage the leather. We recommend cleaning periodically or as needed to keep your FRĒDAs looking brand new.

For all material and sole care tips, find more care here.

The ELBA is hand-sewn in our San Salvador, El Salvador, family factory. Our Co-Founder's grandfather started manufacturing shoes 67 years ago, and our hand-sewn Moccasins are produced in a factory that her father started in the 1980s. This factory is one of the last hand-sewn moccasin factories in the world—a true testament to artisanal craftsmanship and passing down this skill from generation to generation.

    ELBA PENNY LOAFER 8.5 / Hickory Embossed Croc with Hardware
    Rated 4 out of 5 stars
    Popular loafers

    Initially ordered Hickory croc ones, but felt the color was not complimentary with my wardrobe so I contacted FS and had great customer service and a quick exchange for the black croc , they look very well crafted and love them, will have to break them in , as the heel part seems a bit hard

    They fit well and can’t wait to wear them

    ELBA PENNY LOAFER 10 / Espresso Spazzolato
    Rated 4 out of 5 stars
    Almost perfect!

    A great dark brown loafer at a reasonable price. I’m a true size 10 with narrow feet and had to exchange the 10 for a 9.5. The 10 were slipping off my heels and the 9.5 was very tight during the first wear. I went ahead and used thick socks the first time I wore them and they’ve been great ever since. Very comfortable and they pair well with everything. After wearing them several times my only note is that they have more wear on the heals than I would expect for a leather shoe of this price point. All in all, a great shoe.

    Comfy, classic, closet staple

    They are beautiful! Break them in around the house with socks on and you will be set. Especially for the office, they go with everything!
