The Everyday Loafer: Riveted Penny Saddle, Stacked Block Heel, Lightweight Foam Sole

A loafer you can stay in all day. The Hello Loafer is a true slip-on — no laces, no zip, no buckle. Across the vamp sits a classic penny saddle strap, held down by two metal rivets, and the rounded toe is closed with a hand-stitched moc apron seam. Underfoot, a low stacked block heel lifts the back of the foot just enough to sharpen the line without costing you comfort, and the sole is moulded with a stitched welt edge and a shallow tread. The upper comes in ten finishes, from grained black and glossy patent to leopard print, honey tan and metallic light gold.

What's in the box: One pair of slip-on penny loafers, Medium width. No laces to tie — the saddle strap is riveted in place and decorative, not adjustable.

Why Women Keep These by the Door

• Slip-On, Zero Fuss: No laces, no fastenings. Step in and go — the opening is cut wide enough to pull on without a shoehorn.
• Riveted Penny Saddle: The classic loafer saddle strap, secured with two metal rivets, gives the shoe its tailored, slightly preppy character.
• Low Stacked Block Heel: A modest block heel lifts the heel for a longer leg line while keeping the shoe genuinely walkable.
• Hand-Stitched Moc Apron: The rounded toe is finished with a raised apron seam running around the vamp — the detail that separates a real loafer from a plain flat.
• Lightweight Moulded Sole: A shallow tread and a stitched welt-look edge keep the sole light and flexible for daily wear.
• Ten Colourways: One silhouette across ten finishes — grained, smooth, patent and printed.

Detail by Detail

• Riveted Saddle Strap: Two round metal rivets pin the saddle down on each side. On the Cuban Sand colourway the rivets read brass-toned; on the darker finishes they are near-black.
• Moc Apron Toe Seam: A raised, stitched apron wraps the toe box, giving the vamp structure and a hand-made look.
• Low Stacked Block Heel: A short stacked block with visible layering at the back of the sole. No heel height is published for this style; from the side-profile photography it reads as a low block heel of roughly 2.5 cm (about 1 in).
• Moulded Sole with Welt-Look Edge: A rounded, lightly treaded sole with a stitched edge line rather than a heavy lug. Flexible and quiet underfoot.
• Closed Rounded Toe: No open toe, no square last — a soft, rounded closed toe that suits both trousers and dresses.
• Wide Slip-On Collar: The topline is cut low and generous at the sides so the shoe slides on and sits without pinching the instep.
• Plain Interior: No branded insole or logo appears in the product photography.

Size & Fit

Width: every available size in this style is a Medium width. Please note that despite the product title, no wide-width variant is currently sold — if you normally take a wide fit, we would recommend sizing up by a half size rather than expecting a Wide option at checkout.

Buyable sizes: 6 · 6.5 · 7 · 7.5 · 8 · 8.5 · 9 · 9.5 · 10 · 11 (all Medium).

Our original size chart is reproduced below, followed by a full transcription with corrected units and an availability column.

Unit note: the original chart's last column is headed “Foot length(in)”, but the printed values (21.9–27.9) are centimetres, not inches — a foot is never 22 inches long. The table below keeps the manufacturer's printed numbers in the cm column and adds a correctly converted inch column.

* The chart above is reproduced as published by the manufacturer, including its two labelling quirks: the foot-length unit is printed as inches but is centimetres, and in the final row the UK size is printed as 10.5 where the pattern would give 10. No measurement tolerance is stated by the manufacturer.

How to Measure Your Foot

1. Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall and your weight on that foot.
2. Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure heel to mark in centimetres.
3. Measure both feet and use the larger figure, then find that number in the Foot length column above.
4. If your measurement falls between two rows, take the larger size — these are closed-toe shoes.

Material & Care

• Upper: A leather-look upper in smooth, grained, patent and printed finishes across the ten colourways. The manufacturer does not publish the fibre or animal-origin composition of this upper, so we cannot confirm whether it is genuine or synthetic leather. If that matters to you, please ask us before ordering and we will confirm it with the factory.
• Sole: Moulded sole with a shallow tread. The product title describes the midsole as “plant foam”, but no material composition or percentage is published for it.
• Cleaning: Wipe smooth and patent finishes with a damp cloth; brush suede-look finishes such as Leopard gently and dry away from direct heat.
• Storage: Keep the shoe's shape with a shoe tree or tissue, and store away from damp.

FAQ

Are these laced?
No. They are a true slip-on loafer — no laces, no zip, no buckle. The saddle strap across the vamp is riveted in place.

Is the strap adjustable?
No. It is decorative and fixed with two rivets, so the fit is set by the size you choose.

Do they come in a wide fit?
No. Every size currently sold is a Medium width, even though the product title mentions “Medium & Wide”. If you normally take a wide fit, size up by a half size.

How high is the heel?
No heel height is published. From the side-profile photography it is a low stacked block heel of roughly 2.5 cm (about 1 in) — a lift, not a high heel.

What is the difference between Black and Black Glossy?
Black is a smooth, softly grained finish; Black Glossy is a high-shine patent-look finish. Both use the same last and sole.

How do I choose my size?
Measure your foot in centimetres as described above and match it to the Foot length column. If you are between rows, or you have a wider foot, take the larger size.

Are all sizes shown in the chart buyable?
No. Sizes 5, 5.5, 10.5 and 12 appear in the manufacturer's chart but are not currently sold in this listing. The sizes you can order are 6 to 10 in half sizes, plus 11 — ten sizes in total.

Will the colour look exactly like the photos?
Every colourway is shown as photographed, including the leopard print and metallic finishes. Screens vary, so shade may differ slightly in person.
