The iconic American footwear brand G.H.Bass recently released two stunning elegant loafer designs. Part of the highly anticipated Weejuns Super Lug Collection, the footwear silhouettes exude the timeless sophistication that G.H.Bass is known for pioneering.
In the men's section, the Weejuns®️ Super Lug is "a fresh take on the iconic lug outsole loafer." Equipped with a chunky outsole and remarkably lightweight construction, the elegant loafer is offered in two colorways. For women, G.H.Bass developed two silhouette options that "take [the Weejuns Super Lug Collection] to new figurative and literal heights." Boasting the highest platform yet, the elegant loafer for women is offered in Penny and Horse-bit trim.
