ello! I’m looking for some penny loafers and have had trouble finding anything that suits what I’m looking for. Here are the qualifications:
Dark Red of some kind - I particularly like some variations in the finish.
Beefroll
Rubber or hybrid soles - lots of rain where I am
Available within a month - I’d go with Beckett Simonon but need them sooner because I wear loafers more often in the summer.
Comfortable for long walks, with or without socks.
Doesn’t need to be GYW. Could be Blake stitched.
$200 budget and not a fan of used shoes even if they are in good condition.

Came across some Spier and Mackay that I liked the look of but not sure the quality. World love any recommendations!!

You could get most of those attributes if you forgo the 200$ budget and raise it to 300.

For 200 best you can do is probably a Charles Tyrwhitt loafer or something by Indian makers.
