Sprung loafers

Hi

The narrator in a book describes what's going on on a bus: The boy’s eyes most often found the man across the aisle, a slick-haired sales type in a wrinkled suit and sprung loafers.



--- Does it mean that he looked like a salesman?

--- I know that loafers are shoes, but I'm not sure about the meaning of the word "sprung"?
