BENDING is a black penny loafer made from supple sheep leather. Its penny strap, apron stitching and low heel retain the familiar shape of a traditional loafer.
The leather lining and insole give the foot a smooth interior, while the rubber outsole adds everyday grip. Designed in Northampton, England, the shoe is made largely by hand and works with tailoring, chinos or smart trousers.
Design and comfort
BENDING’s penny strap and defined apron stitching give its black sheep-leather upper a traditional shape, while the low heel keeps the profile understated. A leather lining and insole sit inside the slip-on construction, with a rubber outsole beneath. As there are no laces to adjust, check that the heel and instep feel secure without pressing the toes.
BENDING’s black leather, penny strap and apron stitching work with tailoring or smart trousers. Compare leather and suede in our loafer buying guide, and use the loafer style and care guide for outfits and care. Check the size guide and test the slip-on heel hold indoors without forcing a tight fit. Browse our men’s leather and suede loafers to compare the range.
