Why do dads love wearing penny loafers with no socks?
Nearly every grown man over 30 that I see seems to partake in the practice of penny loafers and no socks. How is this considered fashionable and when/why did the trend start?

Because wearing shoes with no socks causes foot odor, and most dads love the smell of their stinky feet.

I was going to write a ridiculous answer, but I was curious and decided to look this up on wikipedia.. and apparently, there's a real answer for this.. hahaha.. Here's the part of the entry that would probably pique your interest:
"...By contrast Penny loafers were worn by men sockless. This fashion trend began on the 1960s on campuses, where male students did not wear socks at all, even in winter. During the 1970s it became a "class style" for men to go dancing without socks. In the 1980s it became the preppy look and nowadays it is a classic to wear sockless loafers with jeans, chinos, and a blazer for a dressier look as noted in GQ magazine."
What they don't tell you, is that they were actually a symbol of gang status, and all the old guys you see in the streets who wear them now, are simply reminiscing on their old gang-banger days. Ah.. that'll do for my dosage of silliness today.
Hopefully that answered your question though. Heck, even I learned something from all this: never go out without your penny loafers in hand. Ya never know when a good dance will break out.

I have no clue. Now that I think about it, this is pretty true...lol. I guess they don't care about being fashionable, and definitely don't care about having sweaty, stinky feet by the end of the day...but I can't stand sweaty, stinky feet.
