Everything changes and everything remains the same. Further proof of Isshi's view that the Italian shoemakers are all channelling the USA circa 1950s:

Thunder's 1950 captoes:

My recent Paolo Scafora Neapolitan captoes:

Seller thought 8 or 9, but actually, they were a 7 1/2E. BUT, a ROOMY 1940's last, so...

Perfect fit for me. I'll post some pics later this week.

When sellers demand expensive and ridiculous postage from buyers for shoes worth nothing they lose any chance of a good sale.

When sellers demand expensive and ridiculous postage ...

The U.S. postage was $11. That's a very normal price for USPS.

 

[Travis Lee Johnston]

11$ is kinda cheap too. It's cost me 15$ to ship shoes in a flat rate box small enough to fit a pair of size 13's into at the post office. Within the U.S.

I was talking about bloody foreigners boys....you know the non-USA people.

Cookie has to pay those damnable Int'l rates.

80's maybe..

80's maybe..

Judging by the heel, I'd say late '70s.



It could be worse. Here's a men's shoe ad from 1911:

And here they are in person. They fit great and are extremely comfortable.

Well, they're nice and spadey! :eusa_doh:

 

[Guttersnipe]

Just because it's vintage doesn't mean it's cool :eeek:

 

[Giftmacher]

Well, it's quite difficult to walk them on the cobblestones paving in our town. This is why I'm not wearing them anymore
Thanks for the help indeed!

They look like they need some Pecards...

This was why the Euros invented the big rugged double soled Budapesters etc that you need to counteract that phenomenon.

Nope...
