A penny loafer is a specific style of loafer (a loafer is just a slip-on shoe, usually leather). Penny loafers have a strap across the front of the opening where your foot goes in. That strap, which is kind of like a pair of lips, has a slit or gap down the middle running across your foot. It's designed in such a way that it can hold a penny (or often a dime) or other small coin by inserting it between one side of the strap and the shoe, sliding it in, and then tucking the other side of the coin under the other side. If you go to Google Images, you could find specific visuals.
From what I’ve seen and read, Michael Jackson often wore loafers or dress shoes, especially black leather ones, paired with his signature socks, sometimes from brands like Florsheim or custom-made pairs.

In my view, shoes in the 1950s were all about classic elegance—think polished leather oxfords for men, kitten heels and saddle shoes for women, combining style with everyday practicality.
For good luck! And you would never broke if you had pennies in your shoes
