These are four pair of bespoke Ercolino's (Perry). He is a Pennsylvania shoemaker and close friend. Missing is one pair of Perry's "Spectators" I don't have a shot of them. Gotta remember to do that one of these days.

I have been looking for a pair of "Clarkes 1950's "Enid Blyton" sandals, for the past few years , I have ordered a pair of these, the closest thing i could find Made to order,, they do have a crepe sole which the orginal 50's sandals had, but i think the originals had the crepe sole in a pale beige/tan colour? I shall wear them with grey Ankle socks, shorts, and a white Hankie tied on my head
I Think it will look so much smarter than these two Coves
