Torn between these two extremely similar pairs of loafers. Any immediate takes? The pinch seems a bit more versatile if I want to dress it up with a blazer or tweed.

Pinch Penny Loafer - Dark Brown
What more is there to say about the iconic penny loafer? We've certainly made our mark over the years with our Beefroll Penny Loafer, one of the five pairs of shoes that every man needs. Our pinch penny style is effortlessly cool, just ever so slightly more sophisticated than the beefroll with sleeker lines and burnish

Chromexcel is the flagship leather from the iconic Horween Tannery in Chicago, IL. Chromexcel is impregnated with a proprietary blend of natural oils and waxes, this special tanna

IMO the pinch looks nicer than the beefroll, but it's personal preference really, they're practically interchangable (anyone who tells you beefroll loafers are too casual to wear with a sport coat or pinch loafers are too formal to wear with shorts is a nerd)
I bought the pinch. I personally am not a fan of the contrast stitching of the beefroll, and I think the beefrolls are just a trifle too casual.
Although, I think these are minor, subjective things.
Both of them are nice shoes, IMO. Buy which ever one you prefer.
i bought the pinch as well i prefer how it looks but you can't go wrong with either
Brilliant, I think I'll pull the trigger on the pinch pennies. thanks!
