what the style is:

Penny Loafer

Penny loafers are classic American styling, identified by their "penny" strap that lays across the tongue. This is a "half strap" style, where the strap reaches the moccasin-style apron stitching, but dues not extend any further.

what it's lasted on:

Saint Helens Last

The Saint Helens last is the chisel last of our JF line. It is slightly elongated, but less so than our J. FitzPatrick line chisel lasts; it ultimately fits very true to size with a medium instep and a cut that closely follows the contours of the foot.  We recommend keeping your standard size with the Saint Helens last.

The Saint Helens is a classic medium-fitting last:
-Medium forefoot (neither too wide nor too narrow)
-Medium instep, not as generous as our J.FitzPatrick Line lasts
-Good for medium width feet
-Slightly elongated last, yet very shaped to foot length/profile

what you'll be standing on:

Street Walker Sole

The "Street Walker" sole is an open-channel, combination leather and rubber design. Leather heel stacks and mid soles are topped with rubber to create an all-weather capable finish.

size guidance

As a standard rule for our loafers, we cut them more snugly compared to our laced shoes in the same size.

The Washington loafer is as close a fit to an unlined loafer that we have, due to its lowcut pattern and deconstructed side panels. We recommend you stick to your regular oxford size for a standard width fit. If you are narrow, you will need to size down at best. Potentially it might not work at all if you are a true narrow. A true wide foot will have a difficult time fitting this loafer.

Similar in sizing to the Carmina Uetam loafer and Crockett & Jones Cavendish with a bit more play in the heel.
