Riding on the train to Tokyo today, I saw a man wearing penny loafers. Having nothing better to do than stare at his footwear, I thought back to my high school days, when those wine-colored shoes were fairly popular. That got me thinking about the kids who actually put pennies in the slots on the front of the shoes. Since there are no pennies in Japan, what do they call this style of shoe? Yen loafers? Do people put lucky five-yen coins in the slot?
