Having existed for over one hundred years, Bass shoes began in 1876 as the humble shoemaking enterprise of George Henry Bass. His shoes styles were known for their high-quality craftsmanship and enduring design. But, the reputation of Bass shoes swelled in popularity with the 1936 introduction of the Weejun. This upscale penny loafer became a stable product for urban professionals and early prepsters. The shoe style perseveres today, being claimed as a staple fashion product by corporate and academic crowds.

Tremendous moments in Bass shoes history: the first trans-Atlantic airplane flight was performed by pilot Charles Lindbergh. It just so happens that during this prominent historical moment Mr. Lindbergh was wearing Bass Aviation Boots. Was his success a coincidence or the effect of durable footwear? You decide.
