I'm not sure what you mean Tomasso. l never use that word.What's the scoop on 'em?
One of the most exciting shoo purchases i've ever made:
Two new pairs i feel very smug about -
How do these compare to your pebble-grain v-cleat Florsheim Imperials? I recently got a pair of v-cleat shell cordovan Florsheim Royal Imperials. The leather is great, of course, but the soles are slightly thinner and don't protrude beyond the uppers as far as they do on the pebble grains. While I like the shell cordovan leather, I prefer the heavier soles on the pebble grains. Is this a Royal vs regular Imperial thing . . . or a shell vs pebble grain thing . . . or are my Royals just more recently made? [huh]
Boots go in a different thread please. Bartenders could you move this post?
They look very nice unlike the Allan Edmonds pics. What I can't understand about AE was why they did not simply make them in walnut like the good old days and they would be walking out the door. That brown is hard colour to match to a suit or even chinos IMO.
I love shoes! I buy shoes before anything...they're probably my favorite part about a nice emsemble. If anyone has any two-tone or suede shoes from the 20s-50s, I want them! Sell them to me! or if you're looking to trade for vintage, let me know!
The picture below is probably about 3 years old & I have added many shoes to my collection...& sold a few that were too tight. I think I have 50 or 60 pair now...(Plus I have greens, blues & grays, which are the rare ones)
Never thought I would find my long lost twin brother on the Lounge!
Please..... there is a distinct difference.You call them boots.....I call them shoes.
Found these at the thrift store a couple of days ago. Nothing special or vintage, but a nice, rich dark brown color that I don't have anything else like. Full leather lining and very little wear. They're made in Italy, but I don't recognize the brand - Red Shoe.
Odd sole, but good for traction on these wet, late winter/early spring days here on Vancouver Island.
And not a bad deal at $1.99...
