One of the small things that tends to bring a smile to our faces as the weather warms up is the ability to leave the house without socks.  Sure, there are times during the colder months that we break out the boatshoes for a quick jaunt, but, beyond that, our ankles have been covered for the past 5 months or so.  Before we know it, everyday will be warm enough to go sockless, and one shoe that is going to get a lot of wear in the coming months is the Authentic Original Loafer Penny ($75) by Sperry Top-Sider.

Though they aren’t as dressy as loafers we have talked about in the past on Bows & Boats, if you are looking for something that has just a bit more finish than a pair of boatshoes, the Authentic Original Loafer Penny from Sperry Top-Sider is the perfect choice for you.  Available in black and brown, and featuring the same soft tumbled leather that Sperry uses on your favorite boatshoes, the loafers look great with everything from a pair of madras shorts to your favorite pair of jeans.
