The Ainsworth Penny has a classic look and goes with anything. Right out of the box these shoes were very comfortable. I have worn them almost every day for a month and they still look new. The rubber outsole is comfortable and shows no sign of wear. I am very pleased and have purchased other J&M Ainsworth styles. I hope J&M will continue this style for a very long time. I highly recommend this shoe. As always the Zappos service is the best.

Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Any of the J&M Ainsworth styles.

First, let me say that I've ordered from Zappos for a number of years. Zappos always gives me the best service and satisfaction. Now, about this shoe. It's an attractive shoe and very comfortable with its sheepskin leather insole. My concern is that the leather construction is very thin and I'm not sure it will hold up very long. The size seems to be about 1/2 size too big. I'll be returning this shoe in exchange for another, thanks to Zappos liberal exchange policy.

Ordered this classy classic for my husband. This loafer is perfect with Docker-type slacks and jeans. My husband appreciates the comfortable insole and prefers this style to Oxfords when traveling through airport security.

These shoes look really good on. They were comfortable right out of the box, and I thought "right-on"! Old-school loafer look without having to break them in. Unfortunately, they did not wear as well as I remember my old ones lasting. I have barely had these shows two months, and honestly, I have to throw them away and buy something else. Within a couple weeks the rubber on the heel was squashing over sideways and the toes were all chewed up like I was scuffing my feet long in gravel. I also did not like how the penny I put in the slot in the toe kept falling out. Old-school loafers had an actual slot, and I remember it being almost impossible to even get the penny in there, much less lose it. I was losing pennies left and right out of these things. Overall, not a good buy because they just do not last.
