Types of Loafers for Men Online at Metro

Penny Loafers for Men

Penny loafers are amongst the classiest options available online and have been in vogue since the 1930s. Their origins can be traced back to a shoe company that introduced their first version and named them as Weejuns. They are laceless shoes with a moccasin-style upper that's stitched to a separate sole and heel. Additionally, their design features a leather strip with a cutout that, according to certain myths, was included to store a penny in case of emergencies. 

Horse Bit Loafers for Men

A worthy successor of penny loafers, horse-bit loafers were first created by Aldo Gucci in the 1950s. To differentiate them from penny loafers, Aldo added a golden metal element that looked similar to a horse snaffle. Because of this distinct addition and their timeless design these shoes for men give off a retro yet sophisticated vibe to the wear.. 

Tassel Loafers for Men

While these stylish shoes' origins for men are still unknown, one theory says that an American actor Paul Lukas first sported a pair of oxfords with tassels at the end of laces. These loafers for men are generally available in leather or suede and feature a rounded toe construction.
