Description from the seller

Allen Edmonds Shell Cordovan US Size 8.5 E (EU Size 42 / UK Size 8) McGraw Penny Loafer Burgundy Original Packaging like NEW

The Allen Edmonds McGraw is a classic penny loafer. Its origins rest in the halls of elite American universities, where this purist slip-on shoe became the absolute epitome of casual elegance in the middle of the last century.

This model achieves its perfect refinement through a deep connection to the traditional Horween tannery in Chicago. In a complex process lasting many months, the finest horsehide is nourished by hand with purely vegetable oils and extracts until the legendary Shell Cordovan is created. This devoted process gives the burgundy material a fascinating brilliance and a noble, deep luster that beautifully underlines the effortless shape of the shoe.

Crafted in the traditional manufactory in Port Washington, the upper rests on a masterful Goodyear welt in the brand's signature 360-degree execution. This thoughtful construction connects the upper leather and the sole in perfect balance, giving the shoe a fine, unobtrusive flexibility. It is the harmonious interplay of masterful welt craftsmanship and the sublime depth of the Cordovan that gives this model its incomparable grace and allows the leather to shine in a steady, gentle light.

Model: McGraw

Size: US Size 8.5 E (EU Size 42 / UK Size 8)

Total outer length: approx. 30.3 cm

Inner length: approx. 27.7 cm

Width: approx. 11 cm

Leather/ Outer Condition: The upper leather is in an exceptionally well-kept condition and shows only minimal signs of wear, which can be attributed to very few occasions of wear. The material as a whole appears in near-mint condition and testifies to highly careful handling.

Heel/ Sole: The outsoles and heels confirm the very short period of wear and are in excellent condition. The original rubber heel corners are flawlessly preserved. As a functional and value-preserving addition, the previous owner applied protective rubber soles immediately after purchase, which also show near-mint condition due to minimal use. This preventive measure effectively protects the actual construction from moisture and mechanical wear, representing a significant practical added value in daily use.

Miscellaneous: In its unobtrusive perfection of form and the warm vitality of the leather, the Allen Edmonds McGraw remains a timeless object of honest craftsmanship.

The original box and shoe bags are included.

Seller's Story

Welcome to my page for premium first- and second-hand men’s shoes. “Chance favors the prepared mind.” Louis Pasteur (1822–1895) The idea of offering exceptional and carefully selected men’s shoes arose from a deep personal passion and long-standing experience with this fundamental element of the classic wardrobe. For me, a masterfully crafted shoe is far more than a mere object of utility – it is the visible expression of individuality, character, and refined taste. The focus is on traditional craftsmanship, excellent materials, and the enduring quality of timeless classics. Let yourself be inspired by this fascination and discover true treasures of the first- and second-hand segment in my shoe showcase, which impress with uncompromising quality and character.
