A Note from Jane — The Susie Loafer Sneakers
For years I had to choose between shoes that looked good and shoes that felt good. The Susie is the first pair I own that does both.
On the five details that make it so comfortable, why it looks far more polished than a sneaker, and why it is clearing now at more than 70% off as we close our Palm Beach boutique and move to Miami.
Most women I know have the same two kinds of shoes in their closet. The pretty ones that pinch after an hour, and the comfortable ones they would rather nobody saw. And every morning they have to choose.
Pick the pretty pair and you spend the afternoon counting the minutes until you can take them off. Pick the comfortable pair and you feel like you dressed for the gym instead of for lunch with friends.
The Susie is the shoe that ends that choice. It has the soft, cushioned feel of a sneaker and the clean, refined shape of a loafer, finished with a subtle gold buckle. You slip it on in the morning and forget about your feet until the evening. Here is why it works.
A cushioned insole that is kind to your feet — all day long.
This is the part women notice first. The Susie has a soft, cushioned insole designed to reduce pressure on the heels and arches, so long days on your feet feel noticeably easier. Errands, sightseeing, an afternoon on the go — you reach the end of the day and your feet still feel good.
Wear them for an hour or two at home the first day. They are comfortable straight out of the box, but every shoe feels even better once it has shaped itself to your foot.
Lightweight and breathable — no heavy, hot feet.
The upper is made from a light, breathable woven fabric that lets air in and keeps your feet comfortable, even on warm days or long walks. And because the whole shoe is so light, you never feel like you are dragging something heavy along with every step.
The fine woven texture looks lovely with bare ankles. Wear them with cropped jeans or ankle-length trousers so the shoe and a delicate anklet can show.
Every pair arrives in its own box, wrapped in soft tissue.
An easy slip-on — no laces, no bending, no effort.
No laces to tie, no straps to fasten. The Susie slips on and off in seconds, which makes it the shoe you reach for when you are heading out the door, packing for a trip or simply do not want to bend down to fuss with laces.
These are my airport shoes. Easy to slip off at security, comfortable for hours of walking, and smart enough to wear straight to dinner when you land.
The gold buckle, the soft woven upper and the cushioned, non-slip sole.
A stable, non-slip sole for steady, confident steps.
The Susie sits on a supportive, non-slip outsole that grips well on city pavements, shop floors and garden paths. It gives you a steady, confident step — so you can walk without watching every move.
The white sole with its warm tan edge keeps the look fresh. It goes just as well with white jeans in summer as with black trousers in autumn.
A sporty yet refined look — in four colours that go with everything.
The subtle gold buckle is what makes the Susie look like a loafer rather than a sneaker. It gives the shoe a polished finish that works with jeans, trousers, skirts and dresses. Choose from Beige, White, Blue and Gray, in US sizes 5 to 12.
The Susie fits true to size with a relaxed fit. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one. The size guide on the product page lists the foot length for every size.
Three ways to wear them this season.
The beauty of the Susie is how little it asks of you.
Cropped jeans, a soft knit and a leather tote. Errands, coffee with a friend, a walk along the water.
Wide trousers, a light jacket and a crossbody bag. Airports, city walks and long days of sightseeing.
Black tailored trousers and a crisp blouse. Lunch, the theater or a family gathering.
The Susie, against the shoes you have tried before.
I know the alternatives. I have worn most of them.

Why the Susie is over 70% off — and why this price ends when we move.
What began as a small dream in a little shop on the shores of Palm Beach has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined. Now the time has come to take the next step. We are closing our beloved Palm Beach boutique and moving to our new flagship location in Miami, Florida — with new locations in Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton to follow.
Before we move, every piece must go. That includes the Susie. It is normally $170.00. It is clearing now at $49.95 — a saving of $120.05. This is not a seasonal markdown. It is a moving sale, and the price is what it is because we are clearing our current stock. Once a size or colour is gone, it is gone for good.
This is our way of saying thank you — to Palm Beach, and to every woman across the United States who has been part of this journey. I would much rather the Susie goes home with women who will walk in it every day than sit in a box in a moving truck.
If it feels right, this is the moment to make it yours.
Why women love The Marlowe Family
"My order arrived quickly and the quality was better than expected!"— Jennifer · Savannah
"After receiving the wrong size, customer support picked it up rapidly and made sure I had the right one within a few days. Thanks!"— Susan · Austin
"Surpasses my expectations! Quick processing, great dresses and fast delivery!"— Sophia · Seattle
"My favourite clothing store around the corner!"— Emely · Palm Beach
Some things you buy because you need them. Others you buy because the moment you put them on, you wonder how you ever managed without them. The Susie is the second kind.
It is the shoe I would choose if I could only keep one pair for every day — and one of the pieces I am proudest of as we say goodbye to Palm Beach. Once the last pair goes, this price goes with it. I hope they find their way to your front door, too.
