Shoes-Day: J Crew Lexington Loafer

During the last 30% promo that J Crew had, I noticed the Lexington Penny Loafer had gone on promo.  I had just noticed them a few days earlier and was happy to see them marked down and with a promo to use. I couldn’t decide between the Patent in the beautiful Casablanca Blue or the Suede in a more practical, neutral Cognac. I decided on a neutral color in the suede.

J Crew boasts a comfy rubber sole and a slot for the penny. Well, the sole and interior padding make the shoe very comfortable. As far as the slot for the penny, that’s debatable. If you put a penny in you’ll surely lose it pretty quick. It’s hard to explain but basically, the slot for the penny is for show.
I took my normal size 7 and though they looked slim and narrow coming out of the box they did conform to my feet. And again, immediately very comfortable. 
A few days after receiving the suede I saw a Bright Dahlia in Patent on ebay…in my size. They are oh so pretty and in my favorite J Crew color. 

Unfortunately, I won’t be wearing these for another month or two, at least until the weather cools down a bit. But I’m very excited to wear both colors. I am now waiting for another promo to get the Casablanca Blue or the Tangier Orange, both in patent.

What do you think of the Lexington Penny Loafer?

    I had been eyeballing the ones in clay in patent, so thanks for reviewing these loafers. The pink are awesome!

      I liked the Clay ones too but I remember trying on the Martina wedges way back when in the Clay and I didn't care for the coloring on me. The Cognac are much better suited for my skin tone. The Clay will be a great neutral shoe for you!
