The Torino Penny Loafer

A masterclass in restrained elegance. The Torino is built on our signature Last No. 657 — a classic Italian round toe that flows seamlessly from vamp to heel. Constructed using the Blake Stitch method and finished by hand, it is the loafer that wears as confidently to a board meeting as it does to a Sunday lunch.

The Details That Matter

  • Full-Grain Calfskin Upper — Sourced from a Gold-Rated LWG tannery in Italy. Develops a deep, personal patina with every wear.
  • Blake Stitch Construction — A single row of stitching bonds upper, insole and outsole. Slim profile, extraordinary flexibility, and fully resoleable.
  • Natural Leather Lining — Soft, breathable, and built to conform to your foot over time.
  • Leather Outsole with Heel Stack — Traditional construction that improves with age and can be resoled.
  • Last No. 657 — The Milano Last — A classic Italian round toe with a generous fit at the joint and a tapered heel.
  • Handcrafted — Over 200 individual operations, finished by hand.

Why Blake Stitch?

The Blake Stitch method is the mark of quality footwear. A single row of stitching attaches the upper, insole, and outsole — creating a sturdy yet extremely comfortable shoe with a slim, elegant profile. Unlike glued shoes, a Blake-stitched sole can be resoled, so your Torino will last for decades, not seasons.

Responsibly Sourced Leather

Every hide is sourced from a Gold-Rated Leather Working Group (LWG) certified tannery in Italy — the highest environmental standard in the leather industry. You are investing in quality that was produced the right way.

Made by Skilled Hands

Lignarolo has been manufacturing shoes since 1946. The Torino undergoes more than 200 separate operations over an 8-week production cycle — because great shoes cannot be rushed.

FAQs

Order your standard US shoe size. Our lasts are built to fit true to size. If you know your size in dress shoes from brands like Allen Edmonds, Cole Haan, or similar, use that size. For a full size reference including UK and EU equivalencies and foot measurements, see our Size Guide at lignarolo.com/pages/size-guide.

Full-grain calfskin is the highest grade of leather available. Unlike corrected-grain leathers, the natural surface of the hide is left completely intact, preserving its tight fiber structure, breathability, and characteristic pore pattern. It is stronger, more flexible, and more beautiful than processed alternatives. Most importantly, it develops a unique patina over time: the longer you wear it, the more it becomes yours.

Full-grain leather rewards regular, simple care. A well-maintained pair will last decades.

  • After each wear, use a horsehair brush to remove dust and surface dirt.
  • Every two to four weeks, apply a small amount of leather conditioner (we recommend a shea butter or beeswax-based product) using a soft cloth. Work it in with circular motions, then buff to a gentle shine.
  • For a deeper shine, follow conditioning with a polish that matches the leather color.
  • Allow the shoes to dry naturally — never near direct heat.
  • Use cedar shoe trees after every wear. They absorb moisture, reduce creasing, and hold the shape of the last.
