I'm a glutton for menswear inspired shoes. When I was ten I begged my parents to buy me classic Bass penny loafers. It was definitely not what all of the other kids were wearing, so my parents were a bit confused. Shouldn't I be pleading for the latest Nike dunks, or LA Gears (wow, that was a hot minute ago) but all I wanted was loafers, oxfords and saddle shoes. After a good report card, I finally got my dream shoes and boy did I love them. My Pops said that I was "so 50's" since he wore similar shoes when he was a kid. He even put shiny new pennies in each of the slots for me, to make the look "authentic". Granted I later graduated to beat-up Keds and Chuck Taylors, but I am still an absolute fanatic for loafers and oxfords, and Dieppa Restrepo makes the most perfect ones imaginable.
