Known throughout the world as the very best in English elegance, Sanders & Sanders shoes are a reflection of over a century of craftsmanship. The Clive Loafer is a classic example of their practical-meets-refined approach. It’s a traditional penny loafer, named because the slot in each strap allowed just enough space to tuck a penny, the cost of a phone call in the 30s. The calf leather uppers sit on top of Sanders’ “city sole,” a non-traditional but highly durable rubber option that’s made for maximum versatility (think rainy weather). 

Sanders & Sanders was established in 1873 by brothers William and Thomas Sanders of Rushden, Northamptonshire. What began as a five-person workshop grew over the years to become one of England’s most renowned shoe factories. Today, the business is in the hands of the fifth generation of Sanders’, who are still producing their exceptionally high-quality boots out of the same Spencer Road factory they’ve been in since 1924.

Requires Break In

Looks and feels like a well made shoe but I’m having a different experience than other reviewers. They feel quite rigid and uncomfortable right out of the box and after about 6 hours of wear around the house, these still need more break in before I would try wearing these out. Far from comfortable but hopefully after more break in they improve. Giving them 2 stars now as if they don’t break in and become more comfortable I won’t wear them and they were a bad investment.

Hi Chad,

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback on the break-in period of our shoes. We understand that the initial rigidity and discomfort can be a concern, as high-quality leather often requires a break-in period to mold to the shape of your feet and achieve optimal comfort.

However, we regret to hear that even after several hours of wear, the shoes have not yet reached the desired level of comfort for you. Proper break-in is crucial for our leather shoes, and we acknowledge that the process can vary from individual to individual based on factors such as foot shape and wear patterns. As an alternative you may visit a cobbler of your choice to help you break these shoes in.

Best,
The Todd Snyder Team

Top Quality Loafer

The Clive loafer is a top quality loafer. The materials and craftsmanship are excellent and exceed many other loafers in this price point. The fit is also excellent and overall the shoe is very comfortable right out of the box. I am typically a US size 9.5D in most dress and US 10.5 in athletic shoes. In the Clive, a UK size 9 was the perfect fit for me.

Perfect fit perfect shoe

I’m very impressed with these loafers. The quality is definitely there and in the fit and the finish of the shoe are excellent. I was hesitant a bit on the rubber soul, but then I realized how comfortable and non-slip they are. I will definitely replace these shoes with the same but it’s very unlikely. I will need to do that within the next 10 years based on the quality.
