You sure as H*LL weren't an 8 1/2B
Wow. How do you lot keep from tipping over with those tiny feet?
I wear a normal size 10.5-11 (depending on the shoe).
Got these on ebay. They're made by Lotus. Don't know the age; I was expecting to pay more than £0.99:
What a deal! What can you tell me about Lotus? I've been looking at a pair, but know little about the shoemaker. Thanks.

Not really "vintage", but the "balls to the wall" styling and use of "non-traditional" shoe leathers/ skins makes them relevant, i think.
Actually, these should be similar to the pair Cookie recently got.
Lidfort Norvegese stitched Crocodile Derbies.
For shoes, you usually see the belly skin used, since it's smoother & more elegant. Cowboy boots tend to use the rougher croc skins, like these do. + I tend to call the Norvegese stitch the "spade soles of today". The styling adds just a touch of toughness and an "I don't give a F*CK" attitude, I think

no shortage of the suckers....
NICE! I really like captoes, and those look great. Substantial exposed 360 degree goodyear welt and all. I'd guess that's just a shitty re-heeling job. The originals are long gone now.
May I suggest 'staight lacing' on gentlemen's shoes?

a couple of different methods are to be found on the web site linked to above and I find them a more attractive look on decent shoes, pip pip, MP
