Adelante Mens Luca Caramel Brown Leather Penny Loafers Size 8E EUC

Description: I came across this shoe and brand recently while in a local shop. I was drawn in by the look and feel of the leather. The shoe appeared to be well-constructed. After learning more about the company, I was all in. Unfortunately, while labeled as a size 10, these shoes wear closer to an 8. They are too small for my size 9D feet. Otherwise, I would have kept them in my personal collection. I liked the shoe well enough, however, that I did acquire another pair in my size. They are now my go to summer (no socks) loafer. The company's founder has this to say about the company: Adelante would do business differently. Yes, we would produce shoes in Guatemala and sell them in the United States. But our cost structure would start from a baseline of paying craftsmen enough to live well in their communities. And our objective would be shared value creation rather than profit maximization.The theory was that creating full time jobs that pay people enough to live well with their families would result in effective and sustainable economic development.Of course, the impact model was only half the equation. You can’t build an influential company without an exceptional product. Our customers said they wanted quality, connection, and individuality. Fast.So, we built shoes that are on par with the highest quality footwear on the market. We decided on a made-to-order model that would deliver your personalized pair direct from Guatemala within a few weeks. And we started experientially connecting each customer with their shoemaker throughout the production process.The Adelante story is one of capitalism retooled. We envision a future in which business is used to reduce poverty and promote inclusive development worldwide. So, Seguimos Adelante.- Peter, Founder https://adelanteshoes.com/pages/our-story More about this Luca shoe from the Adelante website: - Ethically made and proudly handcrafted by a skilled Guatemalan craftsman- Goodyear welted & fully resoleable- Stacked leather heel - Upper: Full-grain (caramel, desert, denim blue, pomegranate, cemento, onyx, chestnut) or Nubuck (oatmeal, black, mahogany, white) leather - Lining: Calf skin - Midsole: Vegetable tanned soling leather - Insoles: High density memory foam - Our full-grain and nubuck leathers are of the highest quality and will become more beautiful as they age.
