LOAFER is an excellent product that combines the elegance of dress shoes with the ease of wearing slip-ons!
Loafers are characterized by their leather-like feel that gives your feet an elegant impression, and the relaxed feel of being easy to put on and take off without the need for laces. They have a wide range of styles that fit not only dress styles but also beautiful casual coordinates, and they continue to be supported by many fashionable people.
What is the origin of the loafer?
The original loafer was a farm shoe called the “Aurland moccasin” developed by Norwegian shoemaker Nils Gregoriusson Tveranger in the 1920s, and was developed by American shoe manufacturer “GH Bass” who was inspired by this moccasin. The first penny loafer is considered to be the “Weejuns” (an adaptation of the Norwegian), which was developed by the American shoe manufacturer GH Bass, who was inspired by the moccasin.
