Penny Loafers????

[Guest guest]

, could you explain what penny loafers are for the " overseas'

visitors. I wear Ecco shoes and for Christmas had TWO pairs bought me by my

Mom, a VERY much appreciated present as they are around $100 a pair.

Thanks Connie

Hiya,

Just a note to add to all the shoe stories. Although they arent the most

attractive shoes in the world if any of you have S.A.S. comfort shoes to

your avail they are incredible. They even have sandles. I used a soft

sandle that was a slip on for walking to the bathroom at night etc. It

was much easier that lacing tennis shoes at 2:00 a. m. They also have a

penny loafer for your not so bad days. The shoes come in all sorts of

widths.

Recently, Ive been able to shop for other types of shoes and by the

recommendation of my podiatrist friend suggested to get " rocker-bottom "

shoes. The new platform slides that are out there are " dreamy " Believe

it or not I recently purchased a pair of 9-West shoes that were 3.5 "

high and they are my most comfortable shoes. With the platform my dr.

friend said the rocker motion takes the weight off the balls of your

feet. And I have found the open toe soft leather slides the first shoes

from a standard manufacturer that didn't need to be broken in.

Just a suggestion . . .

Hope it helps.

Dez

Connie,

The original style of " penny loafers " were popular ages ago. It is a

slip on loafer that has a place on top where a " penny " used to be

placed. Most people don't put one in it however. If you want to get more

info on the company S.A.S. it is based out of San , Texas.

Perhaps you can access info from the web??? If you cannot please let me

know and I'll see if I can obtain something at a store nearby.

Good Luck

Dez
