Our modern take on a classic penny loafer. Handcrafted in cuoio brown 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 denim and socks.

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 cuoio spazzolato. This tannery is rated Leather Working Group Registered. Leather Working Group is a tool to evaluate the environmental performance of leather goods manufacturers.
  • 100% Calf leather lined
  • Notched leather welt
  • Leather sueded sole
  • 0.75" leather-stacked flared heel

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.

  • The length of this style is running slightly long. If you are narrow or in between sizes, we recommend 1/2 sizing down.
  • 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.

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.

    Love!

    I’m so happy with these loafers! I originally ordered my normal size of 7.5. They slipped a lot on the heel, so I had to size down to a 7. This size fits a lot better. I now want them in every color!

    Perfect Loafers

    My new favorite black loafers. I've wanted to try these for a long time and the 25%off sale was just the right incentive. I have several pairs of the fisherman sandals for summer and now have my eveyday winter shoe. The loafers look absolutely stunning and are comfortable right out of the box. I will definitely be adding other colors. Would love to have these in a smooth navy and a smooth red. They fit true to size.

    Beautiful Shoes

    This is the classic loafer. Very versatile, just the right amount of dressy :). I’m a size 8, but needed to size down to a 7.5. Worth the $$.

    How Can I Be in TRUE LOVE With a Pair of Shoes!

    Waited and waited and waited for these shoes to come back in stock - finally pulled the trigger and ordered, without the hubby knowing. (YOU NEED ANOTHER PAIR OF SHOES!) We have all heard it. When they arrived, they didn't disappoint. I ordered a half of size up, so glad I did. They are very tight to first put on, had to bring out the good old fashion shoehorn to be able to slip my foot in. Only needed to do that the first couple of times. Now they are like BUTTTTTTTTER and just slip on. Even my doctor commented on how nice they were. Give him the info and told him to buy a pair for his wife. These are truly "never go out of style" loafers you will be glad that you ordered. Now click that size and put in your cart and check out now! The sooner the better so you can get them home to you.
