1. Beautiful pair of Allen Edmonds Hinsdale penny loafers in a gorgeous color of shell cordovan. I believe these were originally burgundy but have matured into a lovely shade of brown. This AE model is somewhat similar to the Alden LHS, but has a sleeker profile that is very appealing. This is actually one of the better looking AEs I've seen--the toe even has a slightly chiseled look.

They're in fantastic condition. I'd estimate they were worn no more than 10 or 15 times. The soles and the combination heels still have most all of their life left in them, and the uppers are in great shape too. Size is 9D. They're on the 4 last, which in my experience fits true to size.

AE shells retail for $525. You can have these for $250.

2. Another great pair of shell loafers: Alden color #8 tassel loafers, size 11E. They're on the Aberdeen last, which fits slightly long (so these should work for an 11.5 D or E foot). Also in fantastic condition--slightly more wear than the AE loafers above, but these have also been lightly worn.

These retail for $550. I'm asking $240 shipped.

3. Florsheim tan scotch grain longwings. The classic American gunboat. These have been worn, but the uppers are in almost-new condition and the soles have little wear. Size 10.5D. Vintage Florsheims are the coveted prizes of the longwing world, and it's tough to find them in such good condition. And according to Doc Holliday, this type--in "fiery chestnut" scotch grain--is the perfect model of what a longwing should be. $90.

4. Hanover L.B. Sheppard plain-toe bluchers in tan scotch grain. Size 9.5D. Hanover was at the top of the quality period among American shoe manufacturers, and it's easy to see why. These are beauties. A bit of scuffing on the toes that should polish out with no problem, and they're otherwise in excellent codition. This is a classic shoe, right up there with longwings in the classic American shoe canon. $60.
