History of Santoni company

Andrea and Giuseppe Santoni
Santoni company was founded in 1975 starting with the production of high quality men's shoes. It was founded by Andrea Santoni together with his wife Rosa.
Andrea Santoni was born in Corridonia (MC) on September 26th, 1938, by a traditional family, dedicated to agriculture. When he was 16, after interrupting school, he decided to learn how to cut the leathers in a small shoe factory: many sacrifices but with passion, a hard work and dedication he learns step after step the main aspects of this work. Thanks to private lessons Andrea Santoni improves his technical abilities.
1 Andrea Santoni becomes production manager in an important shoe factory. It is a hard job but with great satisfactions. Together with his wife Rosa they establish a small company, a sort of domestic atelier for the production of uppers.
In 1975, thanks to the increasing business, Santoni moves the company to a bigger place. The production increases but, according to the Santoni抯 philosophy every single production phase must be done inside the company, so to obtain a very high quality final product and, as a consequence, the complete satisfaction of the client. At the beginning of the 80抯 Andrea Santoni抯 dream, that is to have his own brilliant activity, is becoming real.

After several researches in 1985 he starts an important expansion of the company towards foreign markets, in particular towards Usa. Handcraftsmanship of production, witnessed primarily by a great class product, is underlined by the constant involvement of Santoni family: after several years of sacrifices and investments in 1989 Santoni establishes the actual company built on 1500 square metres, where the entire production is concentrated.
The growing involvement inside the company of Giuseppe and Ilenia Santoni, Andrea抯 son and daughter, represent a constant innovation for the atelier. In 1999 a new factory, dedicated to the production of moccasins and Santoni club shoes, is established. In 2005 a factory dedicated to the lady collection is established.
Nowadays Santoni is well known all over the world among luxury accessory brands, not only for men抯 footwear but also for ladies shoes, children shoes and leather accessories.

Giuseppe Santoni, director of the company
Giuseppe Santoni was born in the city of Macerata on 24th June 1968. As soon as he finished the accountancy high school, in spite of his young age, he was already a good businessman so he was charged from his father Andrea with the important responsibility of localizing the most important countries where to export Santoni抯 products.
Giuseppe left for the Far East and made very important partnerships with Japan and China. Once he came back to Italy he strengthened a joint venture with a very prestigious American partner, which helped him to increase Santoni抯 presence in the global market by 28%. Then he followed up a modern way of doing marketing using the support of some European agencies. Thus, he managed to lead Santoni抯 brand up to the very first positions among the most prestigious fashion designers of North Europe.
As far as the company organization is concerned, he coordinates a group of young stylists, creating Santoni抯 collections both for man and woman directly from the fashion department inside the firm.

Jungle boots are a type of combat boot designed for use in jungle warfare or in hot, wet and humid environments, where a standard leather combat boot would be uncomfortable or unsuitable to wear. Jungle boots have vent holes in the instep and sometimes a canvas upper to aid in ventilation and drainage of moisture.

Development and Use
The use of Jungle boots predates World War II, when small units of U.S. soldiers in Panama were issued rubber-soled, canvas-upper boots for testing.[1] Developed in conjunction with the U.S. Rubber Company, a pair of Jungle boots weighed approximately three pounds.
World War II
Field reports from the Panama Experimental Platoon on the new lightweight boots were positive, and Jungle boots were later issued to a number of U.S. Army and Marine forces for use in tropical or jungle environments, including U.S. Army forces in New Guinea and the Phillipines, and in Burma with Merrill's Marauders[2], and the Mars Task Force (5332nd Brigade, Provisional).[3] As jungle boots wore out more quickly than the standard Army Type II field shoes, they were often carried by infantrymen attached to the field pack as a secondary pair of footwear, to be used when encountering heavy, soft mud.[2]
In 1944, the Panama sole was first developed by U.S. Army Sergeant Raymond Dobie , which used a series of angled rubber lugs in the soles to push soft mud from the soles, clearing them and providing much better grip in greasy clay or mud.[1] However, the Panama sole was developed too late to see service in World War II.[4] With the end of the war, all official interest in jungle equipment came to a halt; an improved Jungle boot with the new Panama sole was not produced until 1966.[1]
Vietnam War
In the early 1960s, a jungle boot incorporating most of the improvements developed since the end of World War II was issued to U.S. forces personnel during the Vietnam War. In the improved boot, the upper was made of cotton canvas duck, with leather for the toe and heel, and nylon reinforcements for the neck of the boot.[5] The new Jungle boot originally used a Vibram-type lugged composition rubber sole strongly vulcanized to the leather toe and heel. Water drains (screened eyelets) were added to the canvas top near the sole to quickly drain water from the inside of the boot. Removable ventilating insoles made of fused layers of Saran plastic screen, first invented in 1942, were later adopted for the issue Jungle boot. The insoles trapped air which was circulated throughout the interior of the boot during the act of walking; moist interior air was exchanged for outside air using the water drain eyelets.[6] In 1968, after two additional years of testing with troops in the Panamanian jungles, the Panama sole was finally adopted by the U.S. Army for its issue Jungle boot.[7]
After numerous widely-reported incidents of foot injuries to U.S. forces caused by punji stake traps, issue Jungle boots were fitted with a stainless steel plate inside the boot's sole to protect the wearer from punji stake traps.[5][8][9] Later Jungle boots were given nylon canvas tops in place of cotton duck.
The US military jungle boot's popularity extended beyond the US Armed Forces with Australian Army and New Zealand Army soldiers going to great lengths to get a pair of jungle boots from American troops to use alongside their standard-issue black leather General Purpose Boots (GP Boots). When the 1st Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment (1 RAR) was deployed to South Vietnam and served alongside the US Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade in 1965, many Australian troops were willing to trade their Australian Army-issue "slouch hats" for a pair of jungle boots from the Americans since the boots Australian troops were issued were World War II vintage tropical studded Ankle Boots and the boots were not suited to the conditions of Vietnam. Australian and New Zealand Special Air Service troops also made extensive use of American jungle boots during the course of the Vietnam War and they were very popular with SAS troopers.
Post-Vietnam Jungle Boot Designs
The US military jungle boot helped influence the design of the famed desert combat boot, which many American soldiers wore during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2001 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Despite the introduction of the desert boot at the time of Operation Desert Storm, many American military personnel were still issued jungle boots because there were not enough desert boots to issue to all personnel in the Middle East at the time which led to many American soldiers and Marines to go into battle with jungle boots and black leather combat boots.
During the 1980s, some of the improvements incorporated over the years in U.S. jungle boot design were modified or discarded, primarily for reasons of cost and convenience. This included changes in rubber sole composition (to avoid marking linoleum floors at stateside army bases), and use of waterproof Poron linings instead of Saran ventilating insoles. Increasing use of the Jungle boot as a general-purpose combat boot brought more changes; the issue boot's Panama sole reverted to a Vibram sole better suited to use on other types of terrain, such as rocks or sand. By the late 1980s, incidents of heel blowouts and loss of water drains (screened eyelets) were reported.[10]
Today, Altama Footwear and Wellco Footwear are two American combat boot companies who still manufacture the US military jungle boot. Altama began manufacturing boots for the military towards the end of the Vietnam War, in 1969, and is still supplying the military with footwear to date. Wellco gained the first government contract for boots in 1965. These companies manufacture the boots in the original configuration with green cotton/nylon upper and conventional eyelets and an updated version with a black cotton/nylon/Cordura upper and a hook-and-eyelet lacing system.
As of 2005, the United States Marine Corps has retired the black jungle boots from front-line military service and replaced them with a new combat boot called the Jungle/Desert Boot when the USMC adopted the MARPAT camouflage pattern. The US Army and US Air Force have also removed the black jungle boot from frontline service for suede leather desert-style boots when the US Army adopted the Army Combat Uniform and the US Air Force adopted the Airman Battle Uniform. A number of nations outside the United States are still using and issuing the American-made jungle boot to their soldiers. One example can be seen in Afghanistan with soldiers of the Afghan National Army being seen wearing black jungle boots with American-made combat uniforms.

Boontling is a folk language spoken only in Boonville in Northern California.
History and description of Boontling
Although based on English, Boontling's unusual words are unique to Boonville, California. Scottish Gaelic and Irish, and some Pomoan and Spanish, also influenced the vocabulary of the language.[1] Boontling was invented in the late 1800s and had quite a following at the turn of the century. It is now mostly spoken only by aging counter-culturists and native Anderson Valley residents. Because the town of Boonville only has a little over 700 residents, Boontling is an extremely esoteric dialect, and is quickly becoming archaic. It has over a thousand unique words and phrases.
Origins of Boontling
The Anderson Valley, of which Boonville is the largest town, was an isolated farming, ranching, and logging community during the late nineteenth century. There are several differing versions as to the origin of Boontling. Some assert that the dialect was created by the women, children, and young men in the hop fields and sheep shearing sheds as a means of recreation, and that it spread through the community as the children continued using it when they grew up.[2] Myrtle R. Rawles explains that Boontling was started by the children of Boonville as a language game which enabled them to speak freely in front of elders without being understood.[3] It is believed that the language originated from Ed (Squirrel) Clement and Lank McGimsey, in or about the year 1890.
Documenting the lingo
Based on interviews of family and neighbors, Rawles wrote an article, Boontling, or the strange Boonville language, which was published by the California Folklore Society in Western Folklore, volume 25, in 1966, and again by the Mendocino County Historical Society in 1967.[4] Researcher Charles C. Adams studied the lingo in the 1960s and wrote a doctoral dissertation based on his research. In 1971 University of Texas Press published his book, Boontling: an American lingo, which included an extensive dictionary.[5] Boontling briefly enjoyed a national audience in the mid-1970s when a Boontling speaker name Bobby (Chipmunk) Glover was a regular guest on the well-known The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on the NBC television network. Because Boontling is a spoken language, rather than a written one, spellings of words vary greatly. Most spellings were not formalized until the 1970s, primarily by the writings of Boontling historian Jacky June.

A typical freestyle footbag.

Crocheted footbag
A footbag is a small and round bag or sack used in sports which are also referred to generically as hackee sacks. (A Hacky Sack? is the trademarked name of a specific type of footbag). The western incarnation of the sport was invented in 1972 by two men from Oregon City, Oregon, Mike Marshall and John Stalberger, who later sold the rights to the Hacky Sack to Wham-o inc in 1983. These sports are characterized by controlling a bag with the body.

Equipment
The only piece of equipment necessary to play footbag is a footbag. There are several differences between footbags which will affect how they play, thus making different bag choices necessary for different sports.
For circle kicking, it is very common to use a crotcheted footbag, which is usually filled with plastic beads. Casually, footbags are often differentiated as normal (indicating a plastic-pellet filling), or as "dirt bags" or "sand hacks" (indicating a sand filling). Sand hacks are typically considered ideal among casual, beginning, or intermediate players, who use them as a learning tool, as they are easier to control and stall than a crotcheted bag filled with plastic pellets.
In the freestyle footbag discipline, a 32 panel bag is the generally accepted standard (the number of panels on commercially available bags can range from 2 to 120 panels). Most professional stitchers use some combination of Plastic Poly Pellets, BB's, steel shot, lead shot, seed bead or even tungsten shot. Bags usually weigh between 40 and 65 grams, depending on the type of filler and amount of filler used. 32 panel bags do not stall as easily as a "dirt bag" or "sand hack," but set truer from the foot, allowing for more complex tricks. Professional footbags are usually made out of the fabrics ultrasuede light, facile, or amaretta. While these bags can last a long time with proper care, they are quite fragile relative to their more common crotcheted cousins.
The footbag net discipline uses a distinct bag, characterized by a harder outer surface than other footbags. These bags are not suitable for freestyle, and vice-versa.
There are also several novelty products available, including glow in the dark, chain mail, and even flame retardant bags that can be set on fire and played with. The fire footbag has been banned in South Australia.[1]
Shoes
Most advanced freestylers wear Adidas Rod Laver tennis shoes, Adidas Clima Cool 1s or lowtop Reebok G-Unit G6s while playing. These shoes are often modified in some way or specially laced. In order to make toe stalling easier, many players use special lacing patterns that pull apart the sides of the shoe near the toe area, creating a broad, rimmed platform. Some players even modify their shoes, cutting away stitching and inner materials, to allow the toe box to open up even farther.[2]
The quantum shoe made by planetfootbag is the first shoe designed specifically for freestyle footbag and requires no modifications.
Many purists believe that having no shoes is preferable to wearing shoes, as it allows contortions of the foot to cradle the sack; it also allows players to stall the sack using their toes.
Freestyle footbag
Main article: Freestyle footbag

A popular variation of Footbag Lacing, as used by some footbag freestyle players.
Freestyle Footbag is a sport in which the object is to perform tricks with the bag. The ending position of the footbag on one trick becomes the starting position of the footbag on the next trick. Tricks are created by combining different components between contacts with the bag (contacts can be either stalls or kicks, though stalls are more frequent). Components can be spins, dexterities (using a leg to circle or cross the footbag's path in mid-air), or ducks (letting the footbag pass a few inches above the neck). Contacts are usually on the inside of the foot behind the opposite support leg (Clipper Stall) or on the toe, however many inventive possibilities remain and are used to create an endless list of tricks.
There is an annual footbag world championships held each year. The current freestyle world champion is Damian Gielnicki, of Poland.
Footbag net
Main article: Footbag net
In footbag net, players (either playing individually or with a partner) volley a footbag back and forth over a five-foot-high net. This game combines elements of tennis, badminton, and volleyball. The court dimensions and layout are similar to those of badminton; the scoring is similar to the old scoring system in volleyball (you must be serving to score); and serves must be diagonal, as in tennis. Footbag net games can be played to 11 or 15 points, although the winners must win by at least two points. Rallies in footbag net look a lot like volleyball (e.g., bump, set, and spike), with players spiking from an inverted position in mid-air (over the net) and opponents often digging very fast spikes into bumps or sets. Play in footbag net is very similar to Sepak Takraw. However, in footbag net, it is an "upper-body foul" if the footbag touches any part of a player's body above the shin.

Circle kicking
Circle kicking is the most common game played with a footbag, and it is the game people refer to when they talk about "hacking it up." Players stand in a circle and keep it moving around the circle, with the goal of keeping the bag from touching the ground or hitting it with their hands. A "full hack" is achieved when every person that is in the circle hits the footbag at least once with out it hitting the ground. A "full hack" is generally not celebrated until that round of hacking is over. Circle kick is generally accompanied by an unwritten set of etiquette guidelines designed to keep the game fun, friendly, and open to everyone including new players. The most basic rule is to respect all other players. Some other general guidelines include picking up the footbag after you drop it or kick it away, rather than having someone else retrieve it; not serving the footbag to yourself; not spitting in the circle; and not hogging the footbag (often called jestering, or the player may be called a hack-hog, also referred to as "hacking off"), but making sure to pass it to players who have not gotten it recently. Most circles are very open to new players and will not ostracize anyone for being less coordinated or well practiced than the rest. Some circles have an unwritten rule that there is no apologizing when a person drops the footbag. This guideline is designed to keep the new players from feeling as if it is their fault that the game is slow, and it keeps the experienced players from having to constantly reassure the new players that it is not their fault, which can get tedious.
Variations on circle kicking are numerous and spontaneously created.

Black English riding field boots
Riding boots are boots made to be used for horseback riding. The classic boot comes high enough up the leg to prevent the leathers of the saddle from pinching the leg of the rider, has a sturdy toe to protect the rider's foot when on the ground, and has a distinct heel to prevent the foot from sliding through the stirrup. The sole is smooth or lightly textured to avoid being caught on the tread of the stirrup in the event of a fall.
The modern riding boot is relatively low-heeled, with a heel of less than one inch, though historically a higher heel was common, as it has always been critically important for riding boots to prevent the foot from slipping through the stirrup. Today, only some styles of cowboy boot retain a higher heel than other modern riding boots.

English Boots
There are a number of different styles of riding boots, intended for different styles of riding, from horse shows, to pleasure riding. Tall boots, which end just below the knee of the rider, include field, dress, and hunt boots. These are standard show apparel, worn by all competitors in the hunter/jumper and dressage disciplines. A lower, paddock boot that stops just above the ankle, is worn by children, by some show competitors in the UK, Australia, and by those that show Saddle seat.
Field boots: have lacing at the ankle, which allows for some give so the rider is more comfortable riding with the highly flexed ankle that develops from the shorter stirrup length required for work over fences. Therefore, field boots are preferred in all jumping disciplines, including Hunt seat equitation, show jumping, fox hunting, and both jumping phases in eventing. They are also worn by police officers riding motorcycles or on mounted patrols, and by some police agencies as part of their "Class A" uniform or with ceremonial mounted units. The majority of field boots are black, although brown-colored boots may also be purchased.[1]
Dress boots: do not have lacing at the ankle, and are generally stiffer. They are worn by dressage riders, eventers in the dressage phase, and at formal fox hunts. They are also worn by riders of show jumpers. Dress boots are traditionally black in color.[1] A recent fad is dress boots for dressage that are cut to go extra high on the outside of the knee.

Paddock style black leather boots, well worn.
Hunt boots, or Top boots: like the dress boot, except it has a "cuff" at the top. The boot is usually black, with a tan cuff (traditional for male riders). It is appropriate for fox hunting.[1]

Half chaps worn over paddock boots duplicate the protection and visual line of a tall boot
Paddock boots, also known as Jodhpur boots, are short boots that come just above the ankle, used most often for pleasure riding and everyday use.[1] They are also required for Saddle seat style riding[2] and are frequently worn by children when showing in hunt seat disciplines because they are less costly for rapidly-growing children than are tall boots. They are sometimes combined with half chaps, a type of gaiter also known as chapettes, for added protection or to give the visual impression of a tall boot. The lace-up style is primarily seen in hunt seat riding, whereas the elastic-sided Chelsea boot design is seen in both hunt seat and saddle seat disciplines. The elastic side boot is also commonly used in Australia as a riding boot and dress boot. They are part of the required attire in Australian Stock Horse turnout competitions and for Pony Club riding. Heavier versions, such as Blundstone boots, are made for general work and gardening but are not suitable for riding owing to their heavy, deep-grooved soles.
Field boots (and many paddock boots) have an extra layer of leather on the toe, called a toe cap. All styles have somewhat tapered, round toes. Current styles include zip-on boots, with a zipper running down the back of the calf of a tall boot or the front of a paddock boot, making them easier to put on and remove without aid of boot hooks or a boot jack.
Brown tall boots (field or dress) were somewhat more common before World War II, when the English riding habit lost popularity outside of formal and/or horse show events. The U.S. Army, whose officers had worn high brown boots until the 1930s, abandoned the practice in wartime. For a time, some show sanctioning organizations did not allow brown boots, considering them to be casual attire, although the rule has relaxed somewhat.
Western Boots
Main article: Cowboy boot

Black leather western Cowboy boots with "walking" heels.
For western riding and showing, western riders wear cowboy boots, with either the high "cowboy" or "riding" heel; the intermediate, somewhat lower "walking" heel; or the low, "roper" style heel that is similar to that of English boots. The uppers may vary in height. The lowest is the "roper" style that stops just a bit above the ankle, about an inch or so higher than the English paddock boot. The most classic length is the mid-calf height that keeps the fenders of a western saddle from chafing the ankle and calf of the rider. The tallest cowboy boots are seldom seen outside of fashion venues, but have an upper that reaches nearly to the knee, is usually extensively decorated, but in the modern day is seldom used for actual horseback riding. For pleasure riding, lace-up boots, similar to English paddock boots, have become popular in recent years, though the classic pull-on boot still is common. Cowboy boots are traditionally made of smooth cowhide, though occasionally a boot style may be of a suede or "roughout" look. However, the uppers of more expensive varieties may be made of leather obtained from somewhat exotic creatures, including alligator, ostrich and snakeskin.[1]

Boot hooks may be required to pull on some riding boots, and a boot jack is often helpful when removing them
Materials
Traditionally, English riding boots are made of smooth leather, usually cowhide, or occasionally pigskin, and most show boots remain thus due to the classic look. However, synthetic leather, vinyl and other materials are becoming more common. Quality of leather varies, with softer, finer-quality increasing the value of the boot. For formal wear, patent leather is occasionally seen, particularly in jodhpur boots designed for Saddle seat horse show classes held after 6:00 pm, when formal attire may be worn in certain types of competition.
For casual riding, riders often wear well-worn show boots, but also may take advantage of new boot designs modeled after the athletic shoe or hiking boot that have been created, using space age synthetics and breathable materials to create what essentially is a "tennis shoe with a heel."

A plimsoll shoe or simply plimsoll is a type of athletic shoe with a canvas upper and rubber sole, developed as beachwear in the 1830s by the Liverpool Rubber Company (later to become Dunlop). The shoe was originally, and often still is in parts of the UK, called a 'sand shoe' and acquired the nickname 'plimsoll' in the 1870s. This name derived, according to Nicholette Jones' book "The Plimsoll Sensation" because the colored horizontal band joining the upper to the sole resembled the Plimsoll line on a ship's hull, or because, just like the Plimsoll line on a ship, if water got above the line of the rubber sole, the wearer would get wet.
As it was commonly used for corporal punishment in the British Commonwealth, where it was the typical gym shoe (part of the school uniform), plimsolling is also a synonym for a slippering. They were generally black or white with a few in brown.

In most of English-speaking North America, they are known as sneakers or tennis shoes, depending on the regional dialect. They are also colloquially referred to as "Chucks" � in reference to Converse's Chuck Taylor All Star.

In Australia and other places such footwear is still referred to as a sandshoe, and include the similar shoe, the Dunlop Volley. The American term, "Chucks", is only used to describe the Converse shoes.[1]

In the UK these shoes were compulsory in schools' physical education lessons and today are still known as Plimsolls, except in Northern Ireland and western Scotland where they are usually known as gutties and parts of Southern England and Wales, where they are known as daps (taken from the factory sign - "Dunlop Athletic Plimsoles" locally called "the DAP factory"[citation needed]) or dappers. They are also known as pumps. In South Africa they are called tekkies.

In India they are worn by school children and are known as keds and are usually a white colour. The brown version is used by most police and military units as a gym training shoe. And are part of the uniform of a Batman (military).
Their use, however, is decreasing, with trainers being used more often. The shoe has become an icon of many generations梐nd music genres, including Grunge, hip-hop, emo and gangsta rap. In the early months of 2008, the Plimsoll shoe within the UK became a major fashion statement, with many celebrities such as Pete Doherty and other Indie/Emo related stars influencing their come back. They are generally worn with tight fitting jeans (also known as Drainpipe jeans) or jeans with turned up bottoms.
In the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who, the Tenth Doctor wears plimsolls. He referred to them as daps in the episode "The Sontaran Stratagem".

Wedge boots or wedgies are boots with a sole in the form of a wedge so that one piece of material, normally rubber, serves as both the sole and the heel. Wedge boots are more common for women and often have a sole that is much thicker at the back than the front, making it a high-heel shoe or boot. Men's wedge boots, not normally called "wedgies", usually have a low heel.
Some forms of wedge boots, called platform boots, have thick soles throughout.

Tasseled loafers
Slip-ons, are low, leather lace-less shoes. The style most commonly seen, known as a loafer in American culture, has a moccasin construction. First appearing in the mid-1930s from Norway, they began as casual shoes, but have increased in popularity to point of being worn in America with city lounge suits, though these still require lace-up shoes in more conservative locations such as Britain. They are worn in many situations in a wide variety of colours and designs, often featuring tassels on the front, or metal decorations (the 'Gucci' loafer).
A less casual, earlier type of slip-on is made with side gussets (sometimes called a dress loafer). Made in the same shape as lace-up Oxfords, only lacking the laces, elasticated inserts on the side allow the shoe to easily removed, but remain snug when worn. This cut is unusual and has its greatest popularity in Britain.[1]

Loafers

History
The Norwegians producing leisure slippers of the moccasin style in the 1930s began exporting these to the rest of Europe where they were taken up by visiting Americans,[2] and championed by the American Esquire magazine. The Spaulding family in New Hampshire started making shoes based on this design in the early 1930s,[citation needed] naming them loafers, the general term for slip-on shoes that remains still in use in America. In 1934, G.H. Bass (a bootmaker in Wilton, Maine) started making loafers under the name Weejuns (sounding like Norwegians).[3] The distinctive addition was a strip of leather across the saddle with a diamond cut-out. Initially only worn in the summer at home, the shoe grew in popularity in America to become a significant part of men's casual shoe wardrobe, though back in Europe its ubiquity has never reached the same degree. When American prep. school students in the 1950s wishing to make a fashion statement took to inserting a penny into the diamond-shaped slit on their Weejuns, the name penny loafer came to be applied to this style of slip-on and has since stuck, though the practice itself does not continue.[1]
In the mid-1950s, further continental influences brought a more elegant image to light, lower-cut slip-ons, which moved from purely casual use to being paired with suits in the 1960s (but still only in America).[4] In 1966, Italian designer Gucci made the further step of adding a metal strap across the front in the shape of a horse bit. These Gucci loafers (now a general term referring to shoes of this style by any manufacturer) also spread over the Atlantic and were worn among by 1970s business men, becoming almost a Wall Street uniform, until reaching widespread use by the 1980s.[5]
Another variation on the basic style is the tassel loafer, which emerged in the 1950s. Again, though casual, their gradual acceptance among the American East-coast prep. culture as equivalent to brogues (wing-tips),[4] has led to them being worn there with suits, and they have gained an association with, for example, business and legal classes.[6]

Use
In America and less formal European countries, such as Italy, the loafer enjoys general use as a casual and informal shoe worn for work and leisure, though lace-ups are still preferred for more formal situations.[1] The general popularity of brown over black extends to loafers, and more exotic leathers such as suede and cordovan are worn (the latter restricted to America). The Gucci loafer, when still worn, is common in black as well as brown.
Though originally men's shoes, some styles of loafers, such as casual tassel loafers, may be worn by women.

Side-gusset shoes
Having an entirely different evolution to the loafer, this other style of slip-on was invented by J. Sparkes Hall for Queen Victoria in 1836. The stretchable rubber produces a comfortable shoe combining the ease of putting on of lace-less shoes with the profile of lace-ups. Its feminine image was soon lost, and was dubbed Congress gaiter and Boston boot in America. Rare even in Britain, its country of origin, it is still the only style of slip-on worn with a suit in some of the highly conservative working environments in the City of London.[7] With such a background, their use mimics that of Oxfords, so they are worn in brown with broguing as a country shoe, or in plainer, black styles with suits.
