"Pennies have long been a go to shoe for me, but when things cool down I usually tuck away the summer suedes to avoid the slush. These put an end to that habit and extend loafer season to a year round constant. Kitted with a light weight lug sole and waterproof storm welt, these can trek through a few inches of snow all across town. More importantly, they just look really cool - the chunk provides some much needed visual weight t to balance those more relaxed silhouettes we've been wearing."---Ludwin
