Penny Loafers - a photo on Flickriver

Penny Loafers

            I shot this macro especially for this week's Macro Mondays theme on Footware, HMM

I don't see penny loafers anymore. When I was in High School, in the early fifties, well-shined loafers with shiny copper pennies inserted into the slot made for them were the standard footwear of young people. 
I decided that shinny dimes were smarter because they were useful if you ran out of money. A bus ride cost a nickel or a dime and a phone call cost a dime. My allowance including working on Sundays for my Dad was four dollars. I generally spent about a dollar on books or magazines. Plus, another dollar for malteds. Dating ate money rather quickly and I needed to be sure I had the fare home or for a call for help to my Dad tucked away in my shiny loafers.
