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.

    Best Loafer EVER!

    Seriously I don’t write many reviews on anything. However, for this Elba Loafer, I had to! This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn in my life! I have many beautiful shoes, especially from Spain (Chie Mihara, which I love). These are the ultimate and real get from the start!

    Fabulous Loafers

    I love the Elba Loafer! The leather is high quality, the shoes well-made, and they’re stylish. I found I needed a break in period to avoid blisters. These will be a favorite for years to come!

    So comfortable!

    These are great! Amazing quality! In between sizes and ordered a 1/2 size down. Snug at first (wore them around the house a few times), and they fit absolutely perfect--are were so incredibly comfortable on the 1st day wearing out/about.

    I was drooling over these but talked myself into buying the slightly more affordable Weejuns instead. When they came I knew I’d made a mistake. Fortunately, the FS friends and family sale was shortly thereafter so I got the Elbas. They are perfect out of the box, barely needed any break in. Gorgeous, substantial, they feel like a real shoe. A slightly unique take on a classic…they even fit my quite wide foot. Don’t hesitate. 100% worth the money.

    First timer and will be buying more from this company

    I have odd feet. Very narrow, high arch, and one foot is a half size longer than the other. “True to size” doesn’t exist in my world. I have shoes that range between the sizes 6.5-8.5. I’m so happy with how wonderful costumer service is and how easy the exchange policy is. After exchanging I’m confident the size 7 is the right size for me. The shoes are at an investment price point for me and will be perfect for years.
