What is trachten? I've tried to google it but nothing shows up.

Try "trachtenschuhe" on Google and look in images.

Tracht is the German(Bavarian)/Austrian traditional alpine dress style.

Who made these and where can they be found?

Thanks

Sorry, just saw this. Those are Alden Indy boots.

speaking of shoes, do any of you own Madison boots ? I like their look, and i see originals that are identical or similar kicking around antique shops all the time, but they are far too small, i like ankle boots better than standard shoes, anyone own the ones made by stacy adams, or any other good repops ?

The Madison is basically untouched in design since the 1930s. A pair in Kangaroo sold on eBay the other day.

You hear different stories about Staceys but the Madisons seem well regarded.

Here is a general discussion on Staceys:

Yesterdays shoos. Been raining and cold, so l wore my 8 year old Cheaney shoos. Cheaney for Jeffery West.

 

[The Shooman]

Tonights shoos.

l still find the nicest/sexiest ladies shoo to be open toed shoos. lf a girl has a nice foot, she must show it.

:eusa_clap And ideally, both of 'em.

Not that we're putting the bite on crazydaisy for pictures of herself barefoot or anything.
Altho that slippers in hand pic certainly gives a fella ideas. :whistling

Picked these up the other day, my first pair of vintage shoes. Size 13, pretty narrow. Too narrow for my feet.

The guy also had a great pair of vintage slip-on spectators made of turtle leather. But at size 9 and $50 they were a bit too rich for me, didn't have the money. Oh, I should have gone for them, they were beautiful.

Am I reading that correctly?? 13 A!! It would be like walking on ice skates. What are you going to do with these, Thunder?

 

[Lefty]

I know they're too narrow for you, Thunder, but if they're a regular/medium/D, I'll that's my size and I'd be happy to work out a purchase or trade.

A is fairly narrow but stretching may be an option.


Sometimes bigger vintage sizes will accomodate smaller normal sizes including those who have wider widths. I have a pair of 13AA Croc Nettletons which fit my 11D/E feet quite well because they have a split toe last. The inside measurements are the key.

 

[The Shooman]

As do I. To me they're a good 30s-40s country shoe...er, shoo. Sort of a brogued brogan.

brogue = a shoo with perforated designs, aka broguing.
brogan = a sturdy, roomy, thick-soled shoo, originally ankle-high.

Thankyou for the wonderful comments. Not many people seem to like my shoos, so i'm happy to hear some people actually do. l love the quaint styling of the KISS shoos, really old fashioned (my other pair is even more old fashioned).

l wish l had a pair of NOS vintage Nettleton pebblegrain longwings, that would be simply amazing!!!

Hello All,

First post- right to my favorites:

A nice mix of Mezlan, Bass, Cole Hahn, Dexter, Born, Allen Edmonds, Justin, and my prized Sullivan's (center). I'm hampered by having 9.5EE feet, so I grab what I can when it fits.

Cheers,

Kevin

A couple of shoe trees off eBay would help those shoes.
