What are loafers?
Loafers are shoes that are easy to slip on and off and don’t feature any laces or other fastenings. Loafers always lack laces, but the stylish shoe shows more characteristics:
- Low heel
- Separate sole
- Exposed ankle
- Moccasin like upper
Loafers come in many interesting designs. You can choose from pointed toes, to tassels, mannish lace-up basics, metallic colours, velvet pairs, retro styles, and many more. The choice is yours! Compared with other flats, loafers are super versatile, and are both casual and dressy.
Fun fact about penny loafers: Did you know that the flats got their name when the mums in the 1900s needed a fool-proof place for their children to store change for a telephone call? And yes, phone calls once cost a penny!
