Beautiful Deadstock White Bucks, Leather-Soled, 11 1/2 E

[Fletch]

(Click to enlarge images)

Plain toe, smooth buck oxfords on the now-rare "town last."
There is literally not a smudge or mar on the pristine chalk white uppers of these babies, nor any sign of street wear on the brown leather soles.
They have their original (slightly yellowed) nylon laces and (torn up and taped) box.

The description "Shoes, Dress, White (Man's)" and the lack of any brand name suggest these were military issue, perhaps Royal Canadian Navy, as they came to me from that country.
A stamp inside reading 1965 may be the date of issue or design contract.

Soles measure 12 7/8" heel to toe; 4 3/8" at widest point.
I take a 10 1/2 or 11 D, and these are long and a bit wide on me.

Asking $80 shipped in the US.

I can vouch for the quality of these beauties, as I have a pair myself.


As Fletch surmised, they are deadstock issue made for the Royal Canadian Navy in the '60s. The style and fabrication are exactly what you'd expect from a 1940s shoe. Good quality buckskin suede uppers, good lining, good leather soles and heels. All good!

The is right for me; except for the E... I don't think I'd be able to wear them.
