Bass Shoes

The Bass Bio

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.

Styles of Bass Shoes

Bass is now a large entity covering several aspects of the accessory market. Designs are created for men, women, and children! Typically, the Bass company often features traditionalist styles such as:

• Loafers
• Slip-ons
• Casuals
• Mocs
• Sandals
• Slides
• Sporty lace-ups

Bass is not a company dedicated to the latest haute trends. Its designs do not pander to the tastes of high-designers; therefore, consumers looking to purchase hot-off-the runway couture shoes must look elsewhere. Bass merchandise is casual, comfortable, and ideal for professional settings.

Bass' Many Mocs and Loafers

Bass shoes are a godsend for men seeking refined footwear for the office or mid to upscale work setting. The Bass company carries a stunning variety of refined/casual loafers.

The Men's Chapmon defines classic men's footwear. Made from full grain leather featuring an instep penny overly, the shoe will make you look like you just stepped forth from the pages of a J. Crew catalogue. This is the ideal shoe for moderately dressy occasions such as church or corporate Mondays. Moreover, the Chapmon carries an old Harvard flair that imbibes trust and responsibility into its owner. Paired with a cable knit sweater and khakis, you'll fit right into the country club scene.

If you're a purist, loafers don't carry the sensible feel of a standard lace-up shoe. Well then, the Men's Gold may pose the perfect fit for your conservative tastes. This polished leather upper is one of many trademark Bass shoes that are ideal for chic events. And, if you need the extra lift, the Men's Gold boasts a one inch dress heel!

Females need not feel left out of the loafer scene. With the introduction of the Women's Bellona slip on, any girl can experience this feminization of a male-dominant style. The Bellona provides the classic loafer shape while instituting a charming and career appropriate horse-bit design and wedge heel. For comfort's sake, the insole is cushioned and the midsole promises flexibility.

A World of Sensible Sandals

You're wearing Bass because you're practical and not dictated by the capricious winds of the fashion industry. But, wearing Bass shoes doesn't mean you're limited to Weejuns and wedge heels. Bass also manufactures a wide array of outdoor and sun-appreciative shoes that are just perfect for afternoon lunching.

These ultra-feminine Sharon sandals provide wearers with the luxury of a cushioned footbed. More importantly, the introduction of sleek muted pink leather straps reminds wearers that these shoes are as comfortable as they are classically cute! Pair them up with a flowing skirt or sundress and you'll be set for the Spring season!

Shoes don't get more basic than the Bass Laila slip-on. Once again, this slide features a cushioned footbed that is a testament to Bass's devotion to comfort. This footbed is lined with the softest suede, making it perfect for walking-dependent activities. Trips to the zoo or theme parks are made easy with the aid of Bass' pampering styles.
