Loving The Low Vamp

When I decided to start photographing loafers, this is one of the first photos I captured. And I have to admit, I love everything about it - the sleekness of the shoe and the way it molds to his foot, the cuffed pinstiped trousers, and the ribbed cotton socks...perfection!

Another sexy low vamp shot and, if my memory is correct, these are the same loafers and owner featured in the first phote.

...and can you guess why this pair stopped me dead in my tracks?

What do you think of low vamp loafers?  Do you have any stories to share?

Liking the Low Vamp

My fondness for Italian low vamps with thin soles dates back to the mid-80s, when I first acknowledged my attraction to loafers. I like them because they're sleek and show a bit more sock than some of the more traditional British or American styles.  And they seem easy to slip out of. They're not as popular as they were back then, but I still spot a pair every now and then...like today, when  I went out of my way to capture the pair pictured above.
