As much as we would like to claim that boatshoes are the epitome of the All-American shoe, we know full well that a classic penny loafer holds that crown.  We are firm believers that a classic pair of loafers will never be out of style, and that every man should have at least one pair ready to go at all times.  Our go to loafers are starting to look a bit worn these days, and we will soon be upgrading to a pair of Pierson loafers from Martin Dingman.

Plain and simple, Martin Dingman brought the Piersons to market so they could become the go to casual loafer for men young and old.  Made from milled saddle leather (or alligator grain if you’re feeling fancy), these shoes are hand sewn and lined in sheepskin.  At a glance, the Pierson loafers look just like any other classic loafer on the market, but upon further review you’ll notice a vamp that is a touch higher than most.  The result is a look that is a bit more streamlined and modern, yet not so much so that the look of a traditional loafer is lost.  Whether you are looking for something to replace your trusty loafers, or just an addition to an ever growing collection, the Martin Dingman Pierson Loafers are sure to remain in your rotation for years to come.
