admittedly I did not engage the tabs, I assumed they would not be able to close the gap on their own so to speak. google told me the tabs are meant for minor adjustments through the day

Building around Alden Color 8 Shell Cordovan LHS penny loafers

thank you that's super helpful! part of my problem is I see fits like yours and they look so well put together but I feel like I'm not at that level yet. so if I try to throw on the color 8s with what I currently have (say, a cotton button down and linen shorts) they'll look out of place

also I guess it doesn't need to be unlined, but with the amount of difficultly I've had in trying to find loafers that fit right, plus the extreme comfort I've discovered from my unlined chukkas, it seems like a good bet they'll feel good
