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.

    Great purchase

    Great quality. Unique design. Only felt stiff for a few minutes then broke in easily. Loved the shoe horn and dust bag that came with purchase.

    They take some time to break in but I love them so much. They fit true to size as I'd expected, the leather is buttery soft and rich in color. Excited to continue wearing them through the fall and winter.

    Timeless and comfortable

    A quality loafer investment - comfortable, well made, and beautiful. I immediately purchased the cream color (on sale) as well. You will never regret a Freda Salvador purchase.

    ELBA PENNY LOAFER 8 / Hickory Embossed Croc with Hardware
    Rated 4 out of 5 stars
    Surprisingly comfortable!

    I have admired these for over a year but was worried that the croc-embossed leather would be stiff and painful. I have bunions, too! These are gorgeously constructed and incredibly comfortable to teach and stand in all day long. After one day of wearing them with socks, they were perfection. I normally a 38 and the 8 is ever so slightly big, but I don’t think I could tolerate a 7.5. I will say, though, that the color is a little more caramel than chocolate. They also look nice without the removable gold ‘penny.’
