Traveler Penny Crimson Chromexcel

Love the aesthetic and quality is phenomenal. I wore Alden’s for a million years for the quality, heritage, and fit (I wear a EEE). I appreciate your Dad’s connection with Alden. Only thing I would love to see would be that it would be lighter - - not quite as Chunky. Marriage between your loafer and my SANTONI Carlo or aTLB suede loafer would be great. I’m hoping your unlined suede Traveler will get me closer. Either way great shoe. I’m definitely a repeat customer, just wish shoe could lose a little weight (like all of us). Thanks for great shoe in sea of mediocrity.

Finally Found the Perfect Penny Loafer

I’ve owned a lot of shoes over the years, but these Grant Stone Traveler Penny Loafers in Crimson Chromexcel are easily my favorite pair. When I first got them, I wasn’t completely sure about the fit. I had some heel slip, and my right foot had a little pressure in the arch. After adding Pedag Supra tongue pads and wearing them for a while, they transformed. The heel slip is minimal now, the leather has softened up beautifully, and they’re incredibly comfortable. The Crimson Chromexcel leather is what really sets these apart. Pictures don’t do it justice. The color has so much depth, and every time I wear them they seem to look a little better. They have that classic, timeless style that works with jeans, chinos, or business casual clothes without ever looking out of place. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Everything about them feels solid—from the stitching to the welt to the leather itself. They don’t feel like disposable shoes; they feel like something I’ll still be wearing ten or twenty years from now. One thing I really appreciate is that they’re comfortable enough to wear for long periods. They have enough room in the toe box without looking clunky, and they just keep getting better as they break in. If you’re considering buying these, don’t panic if they don’t feel perfect on day one. Give them some time. If you experience a little heel slip like I did, tongue pads may make all the difference. Once everything settles in, they’re fantastic. I honestly can’t think of another pair of shoes I’ve enjoyed owning this much. They’re expensive, but after living with them for a while, I believe they’re worth every penny. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another pair from Grant Stone.

Quality you can feel

Received my first order. Shoe has a great build quality. Order 1/2 down, loafer has some heel slip but expected as sole and leather get broken in. Love the look of the shoe. Excited to see how they feel in a few months and breaking period ends.
