Here are a very nice pair, hardly worn, spectators in a size 8C. I wear a 8 1/2D and these still fit, but snug. Just wore them once. They have minor scuffs, but nothing you can't buff out. Heels as you can see show that they were hardly used. Asking $150 shipped CONUS.

Yes, these look pretty nice up close. Anyone interested? If not I think I will just hold on to them. Not easy to come across these; well, it has not been easy for me.

They are beauties and in great condition! Not 'my' size (don't you hate it when folk 'say that'), but...I can still appreciate the beauty of them. So roll up Gents - you'll not get a modern shoe like this!!

Thats the truth Paddy! I have searched and searched and I come across several Allen Edmonds Broadstreet, and they are nice, but the detail that the vintage specs have are so much nicer than modern specs. For example, on the vintage ones you can see the white showing through the holes of the brown leather, and AE does not do that; well, the ones I have seen don't have it.

I'm afraid there is something quite wrong with these shoes. Specifically, they are half a size smaller than they should be..... ;)

I bought the other pair of Specs this gentleman had for sale. They were wonderful & the man was a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend purchasing from him. If my feet were smaller, these would be mine as well.
