I'd like a pair of Oxblood Penny Loafers. I found these in Dune at £85 and I'm close to purchasing. Has anyone seen any other options they feel I should consider?

Thanks
Nice shoes! Am after a pair as well, as i've mentioned on other threads. Any particular reason why you opted for Dune rather than some Loake or Bass Weejun?
I'm drifting from the Loake brand. I have a pair of Oxfords and Brogues and the quality of the leather is poor on the brogues and the Oxfords are painful to walk in, despite being a year old and worn many times.
I'm not sure about the Basses. I like the idea because they are the original penny loafer but they look on the clunky side to me and I guess they're not readily available in Glasgow.
Have you tired them on in the dune store yet. My experience with the majority of their loafers is that they are a little bit big on size. I found the nines, which is my size, were slipping off slightly at the heel when I walked. Just a heads up.
Not yet Matt. I'm hoping to make it in on Saturday or Sunday to try them on. I've seen them but I was short of time.Quote:

Tried these on. They were really poor quality and very wide fitting. No sale this time and back to looking.Quote:
