Re the timing of the holiday calendar this year. In addition to many retailers starting promotions earlier this year, and the election, the actual US calendar this year has less days between Black Friday and Xmas this year. If you work in retail merchandise buying and/or planning buckle up it’s going to be a bumpy ride

Ha. I want to. I guess I didn’t even think if the slot was big enough, and just assumed. I bought the JH penny loafers and they’re waiting to be picked up from the cobbler. I sure hope there is space!

Jamie Haller the slot isn't stitched down so they will fall right out. good luck penny for whoever is behind you! for the penny look go with Freda Salvador (friends & family sale going on now too) https://go.shopmy.us/p-8047265

totally soft. zero break in period and fit like a glove. but also not so thin that you can see the outline of my toes if that makes sense.
