The Penny Loafer. Irrepressibly smart, the penny loafer is the preppy footwear classic that still takes pride of place on shoe racks today, almost a century on from its invention. Despite its connotations of US political heavyweights and film icons, penny loafers were originally conceived in Norway.
That time is now long gone, and the copper penny (now 97.5% zinc) literally costs more than itâs worth. Back in the 1930s, the pay phone in the phone booth cost a paltry two cents. The new loafer design allowed just enough space for a penny in each shoe, equaling the cost of an emergency phone call. Thus, the penny and the loafer were united. The penny loafer had its heyday in the late 1950s and early â60s. With socks, without socks, sometimes even with white tube socks and shorts, the penny loafer became a centerpiece of the newly solidifying post-war âIvy Look.â By this time a phone call cost ten cents, some fiscally responsible young gentleman made the switch from pennies to dimes.
