Customer Reviews Florsheim Berkley Penny Loafers

After 30 years wearing Berkley Penny style I decided to replaced my old shoes with new ones, burgundy and black colors.I don't need to wear any other color.It's traditional the style and color!

To complete the look, you MUST insert pennies from the year of your birth.

I have worn this style for a good part of my life. They are my permanent footwear and are worn daily. These keep my feet feeling just right. I wear 10.5 EEE in Cordovan and it is hard to find that in just any shoe. I order by phone as there is no need to try them on. Consistent sizing means I get the same shoe everytime. Everytime, for me, means 30+ years of Florsheim shoes with no complaints.

I have been purchasing Florsheim shoes for over 40 years. The continue to keep the sizing and quality.

These shoes are perfect.

These shoes are my husband's favorite for all the right reasons. They are comfy, he doesn't have to tie them he just slips them on, and they can be dressy or casual.

The 1st time I purchased this shoe was in 2010 I went to a Florsheim shoe store at my local mall. This shoe was purchased for my 13 year daughter, who is attending Catholic school where penny loafers are required. I checked different shoe stores but was unable to find penny loafers in her size, so we decided to check for them in Florsheim, which I knew to only sell men shoes, however they took the time to size her so the shoes was a perfect fit. The loafers were very comfortable and stylish and in her words "it doesn't make me look like a boy". So when I decided to purchase another shoe this year it was great being able to make the purchase from my den. I feel an [$] pair of shoes for my 13 year old to attend school is a little pricey, however you do get what you pay for and the shoes are worth it. Now she has 2 pairs that she will use through middle school and high school, which also requires penny loafers. I highly recommend these shoes especially when you know your correct sizing.

This shoe can be worn at all but the most formal occasions. It has all the "classic" loafer features -- believe me on this, I've been buying loafers since the 1950's. If you like to wear loafers a lot, then buy a second pair of these, for like all good shoes, they need to be given at least a day's rest after a day's wear. Do this, and they'll easily last a decade -- or two.

This is THE classic loafer design. (Don't believe me? Check out Brooks Brothers, or any of the better European shoe sellers.) The difference here is that Florsheim's price is a fraction of what one would normally have to pay for this design and this quality. In my view, Florsheim is the only American shoe company that can provide top-quality, classic, off-the-shelf footwear that is arguably comparable to footwear available from the better European custom shoe sellers -- but at a fraction of the price.

I have been wearing this style for 45 years. I most always wear them with no socks. I always have. Never a problem. 10 1/2 3E and they fit everytime just like the pair before. They are real leather so don't abuse them but they are a real pleasure to wear. Now that I am retired this is all I wear.

No ONE mmakes a more better shoe for the average man. I have 3 different styles and love them all

I am buying this shoe for the second time. I purchased this style penny loafer from Florsheim 16 years ago. Yes, you read that right. This shoe lasted me 16 years. It was so durable that I have become a Florsheim customer for life.

My best shoe ever!

Except for sports and formal wear, these are the shoes I reach for first.

Enjoyable purchase [...]
