Somehow I can see the mid-80's edition of Tom Waits wearing those in great style.
Shoes like these were not made to be sold to the public. They were one-offs that were made to be displayed at trade expositions and exhibitions. The purpose was to show the great skill and creativity of the shoemakers: the outer limits of their abilities.
Thrifted Canadian Dacks in Camel Hide
They have a few miles on them but they are in ok condition and fit me perfect.
As found, have not cleaned or polished them yet. Pic doesnt show the grain that well
Love that the heel is worn down from wear rather than an "in the display case" model.
More vintage decadence!
