And the winner is...

After a long search for the King of Pennys, it came down to 2:

+Allen Edmonds Walden
+J. Crew x Bass Gordon



On paper, it looks like a tough battle. Both shoes are made in USA by storied shoe makers. Both shoes have the classic loafer profile, although the Bass model has the beef-roll detailing.

At the end, my foot liked the AE Walden best. Here's why:
+More support for my flat fleet
+Classic burgundy color over the Bass brown color
+AE's abilibity to be reconditioned at the AE factory after I put some serious wear on them

Welcome to the family Walden.
