The Pinch Weekender is a modern take on the iconic penny loafer silhouette, a staple of the Cole Haan brand for decades. First popularized on Ivy League campuses in the 1950s, the Pinch defines American style. The Pinch name is derived from the manner in which a cobbler pinches the leather as it’s sewn together. The Pinch Weekender delivers increased cushioning throughout the entire footbed, while a sneaker-like sole and wearable materials combine to make it an indispensable weekend shoe for the summer.
