Bass Weejuns: A Pretty Penny

Bass Weejuns

Since I'm on a shoe kick this week, I decided to shoot my Bass Weejuns with Alex & Avery's birth years on the pennies.

    I love how glossy and shiny your Weejuns are.

    What's the story behind "shooting" your penny loafers with pennies? I've never heard of anyone doing this before but love the idea as I have a long-standing love of coins minted in my birth year. :)

    @JoyC.
    It's all an illusion. lol.

    @Mike
    I'm more of a rounded-toe guy but they look sharp!

    @Amy
    By "shooting" I just mean taking pictures of them. I got the idea here

    Thanks for stopping by everyone!

    Apparently the uninitiated need to be illuminated about why penny loafers are called penny loafers.

    @tsb
    lol. I would keep the third one in my wallet possibly rotate.

    My wife suggest adding your significant other into the rotation. So no child is left behind. :)

    I hate the glossy finish on Weejuns. That is called "corrected grain" and it is not desirable in a good shoe. The made in USA versions were excellent

    At school we wore them with dimes for phone calls (showing my age). The bracelet (?) is ridiculous. It will continue to look silly years from now.
