A classic slim penny loafer, the Crawford is a great year-round shoe. Worn without socks it is the ideal summer shoe, yet it is equally comfortable worn with socks in cooler weather. The characteristic slit strap design originated in the 1930s as a stylistic twist on the standard loafer; many people would store a penny in the slit incase they needed to make an emergency phone call. The Crawford is crafted on Crockett & Jones’ 363 last, which is their slim, round-toed design. It is a slip-on shoe with exceptional fitting qualities, making it a wonderful day-to-day option.
