2022/04/05 update - I've added some photos that show a gap behind the heel if the loafers are worn barefoot with the feet pushed towards the front of the shoe - this has bothered some folks so I thought I'd set expectations.
The loafers are designed to be worn with either stockings or socks which is why there is extra allowance in the shoe - please do not buy if this bothers you.
---Since Smart Doll launched in 2014, our loafers went through quite a few design iterations that used various materials and mold shapes. The latest loafer uses our pointed toe "Hero" last, which gives the shoe a much more refined look over the previous designs.
I brought back the loafer because we have a few school uniforms that go rather well with loafers - like the and some up-and-coming licensed characters that wear school uniforms.
