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.

After this style was released, I found myself going back to look at them online again and again. I knew I had to have them!
I went into the NYC store to try them on, and I’m glad I did. I found that they run a bit large, so I sized down from the 9 I usually wear in Frēda Salvador footwear, including other Elba loafers, to an 8.5.
It also seems like the brand may have changed the insole, because these feel noticeably more comfortable. It’s not that my other Elbas are uncomfortable; this style just seems to have more cushioning underfoot.
Very comfortable, and I’m so happy I bought them!

Really nice looking and good quality, but I have to break them in
FSFREDA SALVADOR1 week agoHi Cynthia! We're so glad you love the look and quality of your ELBA Penny Loafers! We appreciate you letting us know about the break-in period. Wearing them around the house in short stretches with socks can help them soften and mold to your feet more quickly. If you have any questions along the way, feel free to reach out to hello@fredasalvador.com and we'll be happy to help!
