The penny loafer is a shoe design that originated in Norway. It was originally a slip-on style worn by local fishermen and was further developed over time. Swims, a Norwegian brand, has reinvented this classic style with their own twist.

Swims' penny loafer features a non-marking rubber outsole and an EVA insole partly made with Bloom algae. These materials, combined with Swims' exceptional ventilation and drainage technology, make for a comfortable and functional shoe.

Similar to classic driving shoes, this loafer is lightweight and soft. However, the addition of more durable sole studs and a rubber base allows for proper walking and increased versatility. Here in a crisp white shade, perfect for the summertime.

Swims loafers are normal in fit, comparable in size to most other sneaker brands. More info on sizing in the tab below.

The cemented construction is the most basic construction method for shoes. Here the upper together with midsole / lasting board (as is the case for all our Skolyx shoes made with this construction, where a proper real leather midsole is used) or in simpler cases a fabric sole base is attached to the outsole with only adhesives, no stitching.

Nowadays the cement used is strong and can often last long, but resoling the shoes is usually trickier. Often a cobbler only attach a new wear piece on top of the original outsole, to make the shoes last longer.

Basic shoe care:
- Avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row. Shoes need time to dry up, otherwise they will wear out faster.
- Brush / wipe off your sneakers after use to remove dirt that otherwise will increase wear and tear.
- Use shoe trees and a shoehorn to retain the shape of your shoes and make them last longer.
- Treat leather with shoe cream or a moisturising conditioner / suede and textiles with waterproofing spray
- Something that makes a big difference to the overall impression is a sole edge dye that restores the sole edge, here we have Tarrago Sneakers Total White for white or Total Black for black.
More on these general advice in this guide.

Further info on cleaning and care:
When your shoes are really dirty, clean them with a good shoe cleaner, like Tarrago WASC! Sneakers Super Cleaner (always use shoe cream / conditioner on leather or waterproofing spray on suede after cleaning them).
