When I mention shining it carefully you have to remember that split calf AND top calf leathers will not always be the same color inside as they are on top because they have been dyed. If the inside of the leather is nearly white and you polish that white leather black by mistake you lose the perception of "depth" that you get inside the slot and that throws off the profile of the whole shoe. Basically, I'm just picky about my shoes :o) Thanks for the comment! When I refer to the penny I do mean the slot for the penny.

There is the strap, there is a cutout on the strap, into which a penny (or dime, which was very popular for a while) can be inserted if one desires. It's a very old preppy look, and it gave the shoe it's name. To be clear: a penny may be inserted into the cutout in the strap of the shoe. The penny itself does not have to be polished.
