If you are thinking of buying a new pair of shoes this 2011, a pair of penny loafer shoes is the best pick. Why? Beside its classy and classic appeal, it would be the “in” thing for 2011.

Let me tell you a brief story about penny loafer. Its history is quite interesting! “In 1934 George Henry Bass (a boot maker in Wilton, Maine) started making loafers and called them Weejuns (meant to sound like Norwegian). These had a strap across the upper part of the vamp that was shaped like a pair of lips. The mouth opening soon was used to hold an ornament (such as a penny), and thus penny loafers became a style. Penny loafers often held a dime instead of a penny.”

In the old days, penny loafers were regarded as “grandpa shoes” that is why it didn’t catch much of the youngster’s interest.

But now, penny loafer has gone through a good transformation and can be worn by young and old men alike, not consumed solely for fine suits but can go with anything in every man’s wardrobe. The penny loafers have become versatile, so it can be appropriately worn with casual to formal attires.
