about loafers

Loafers vary in appearance, embellishment and even definition. The generally accepted history of loafers is that the style became popular in the 1930s after Esquire magazine featured Norwegian dairy farmers wearing slip-on shoes around their cows' "loafing" area.

Loafers also sparked the term for those who like to take things easy, as this style of shoe has no shoelaces to tie or buckles to fuss with (unless decorative). Men and women alike prefer loafers for their easy, step-in freedom whether for a business meeting or relaxing around the house.

Of course the image that pops to mind when you hear the word "loafer" might be Bass penny loafers; in fact their original Weejun was named in homage to the Norwegian farmer's shoe that sparked the silhouette decades before. ShoeMall carries classic Bass loafers for men and women in timeless designs that have withstood generations of trends.

Trotters loafers, made since 1935, are special because they develop unique lasts (the form on which a shoe is built) for each size and width of their loafers so every one feels like it was made just for you.

Paired with chinos, skirts, dress pants or jeans, loafers are the embodiment of classic, kicked-back American style. ShoeMall has a huge assortment of loafers, for whatever your wardrobe needs and we offer fast, free shipping to your door: no loafing around.
