Show us your SHOES !!!

[Baron Kurtz]

It's wonderful to be a size 6.5-7, I can tell you.

It does mean, though, that it is quite difficult to find good modern shoes …

What a rare size for Vintage US Shoes, where most are too small for the modern foot to wear)

If you are a size 6.5 to 7.5, you should PM me. I have an unbelievable collection of shoes that are just a bit too small for my 8 feet!

Any unworn ones?

Actually hold that thought. I have literally zero pounds right now. So, when and if I ever have cash again, I'll keep it in mind.

BOOYAH!!! No-one beats the ole Cookie Monster mate, you know that. He always finds the good ones. Next year i'll send my bespoke last to Antonio for some Berluti style flash.

Antonio looks to be Tha Real Deal! He did work for Kiton and some others... but his own offerings look even more exciting + cost a LOT less. I want to have him make me some spade soles. I'm not the only one!

Speaking of which...

1940's Knox Captoes.

From pics, I had feared the leather may have been CG. But when they arrived, the truth came out. First wearing confirmed. Full grain leather all the way. It's just a finishing technique, much like many top Italian makers often use. Makes the leather look like it's freshly wax-shined.

Sorry, I'm awful with acronyms (just call me David Cameron … LOL) - what is CG?

Corrected grain.

 

[Isshinryu101]

Corrected grain.

Correctly Stated!

The problem with corrected grain leather is that they actually add a coating (often plastic) that covers it. No patina development is possible with CG & it creases poorly.

 

[The Shooman]

Those 1940's Knox Captoes are beauties mate. Wish l had `em.

 

[Isshinryu101]

I feel the same way about your Bemer's!

"Real Glacé Kid". british workboots that Alan Eardley found for me in a Stafford charity shop. 1950s? Earlier? They have a very modern look to them, and go great with selvage denim, check shirt and leather jacket.

I don't know if this is good work, or a sign of good work, or not, but I really like the finishing of the heel.

Pull tab.

nice boots Baron. i have a very similar pair in brown:
