Smith Oxblood Penny Loafer - 675
Pick your size to see when your pair will arrive
Oxblood is the boldest combinable color a man can own, and an oxblood penny loafer is the least expected place to put it. A deep, wine-dark red that reads serious in low light and comes alive in the sun, it works with gray, navy, charcoal, and denim the way black does, then adds the character black can't. Few men dare it on a loafer, which is exactly why it lands: it signals taste, not risk. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, the oxblood built up by hand — burnished deeper at the toe and heel so it glows and shifts instead of sitting flat, one shoe at a time. Underneath, the Smith sits on the 675 last — almond toe, comfortable fit. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted, one pair at a time. A full leather sole keeps it dressy.
A handcrafted loafer, high-grade leather, oxblood burnished by hand for depth — this is the no-brainer for the man who knows shoes and wants to stand out without being too loud. Put it under gray flannel, dark denim, or navy and let it start the conversation.
Black is the safe loafer. The oxblood Smith is the one you chose.

Toe shape: Almond · Fit: Roomy · Sizing: True to size
The shoe reads balanced, clean, and classically European. The almond toe is generous — there is real volume in the toe box, well-formed and slightly domed — but it resolves into an elegant roundness that never becomes aggressive or pointed.
Compared to the 722, the 675 has more body: the foot breathes, the toes settle with natural ease. Compared to a round-toe last, it still has definition — the toe has its own character. The result is a shoe that looks serious without effort, with harmonious proportions that work with a suit, chinos, or even dark denim.
The English last in its most balanced form: presence without drama, elegance without posturing.
A penny loafer is the slip-on that dresses up.
A leather strap crosses the vamp with a small cut-out slot in the middle — the slot that once held a coin and gave the shoe its name — and everything else is kept slim and low. No laces, no hardware, no fuss.
Worn with tailored trousers it is nearly as dressy as a derby; worn with chinos in July it is the most comfortable correct shoe there is.
Ours are Goodyear welted, which is unusual in a loafer and the reason the shape holds instead of collapsing after a season of being pulled on and kicked off.
A leather sole is the dressiest way to finish a shoe, and the reason a good pair reads as a good pair from across the room. It is thin where a rubber sole is thick, so the shoe keeps the line the last gave it instead of adding bulk under the foot.
Leather breathes, takes the shape of the way you walk within a few wears, and can be replaced when it finally goes — this is a sole built to be renewed, not discarded.
It is quieter on a hard floor than anything else we make, and it is the sole to choose when the occasion is formal and the day is dry.
