I have owned several pairs of these and no longer recommend them. While the style is decent and they are very comfortable, they do not hold up. The leather is very thin and things like driving wear it down quickly. My last pair lasted three months before looking chewed up. Other reviews have noted this and they are right. Just pulled my last new pair out and it's amazing how mad the old ones wore.

This is the perfect shoe for my current situation: it looks nice, has a flexible sole and a low heel, and it will be no great loss if it gets ruined. If you're looking for some great pennies, invest a few hundred dollars in a pair that will outlast your career. If you need something comfy and expendable but nice looking, here's your shoe!

I'd also recommend: Cole Haan, Bostonian, Bass

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.

I'd also recommend: Any of the J&M Ainsworth styles.

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.
