Are these part of your personal collection?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Cookie finds these photos on the Web, either on sites or on eBay auctions. It's a terrific idea ... a collection in itself .... and very useful as a reference guide. Kudos to you, Cookie, for doing this and sharing it with all of us! :eusa_clap

I'll take the Allen Edmund linen Ridgeways please thanks. I'm a 13. Bill the department. They'll pick up the tab

I really like the Bullocks (though not the way they are laced up). That colour is fantastic. Was that a common colour then, sort of an orange-ish 50s version of AE's chili?

Mon plaisir M. Chevalier.

I would love to tip y'all into the current ones but FL protocols don't allow.

Of course any shoe tragics could PM and I would oblige in the usual way if it were possible. Mates act as we say Down Under.

What the devil is a "shoe tragic"? Kothornos?

Definition of a Shoe Tragic

Similar to a Cricket tragic or football tragic.

Someone for whom mere objects or activities hold more than a mere passing interest.

Go to the Shoe Porn site on styleforum.net to understand how bad a tragic you can be.....

Oh oh you've started me off again....1940s suede jobs

The Nettletons pictured above were mine, but alas they are no more. I believe the leather must have weakened from age (dry rot?) as there was a tragic shoehorn accident that left the leather split. A very sad ending as I really liked the shoes a lot.

Here's an interesting pair of Keith Highlanders I'm awaiting delivery of:

The AE Ridgeways...WOW!!

I've been looking for a pair of linen/canvas and leather spectators ever since I saw a gorgeous pair in the Cheaney shop in New Bond St, London. But at £200, they were out of my price range ....a tragedy!! But those AE's look lovely. But I cannot see them on their website, so assuming they are no longer run [huh]

 

[Dr Doran]

Nice avatar, Cookie. I keep thinking of The Raft of the Medusa except not so horrific.

I'd seriously be interested the 1950's Bullocks if they were made today. Nice lookin' shoes!

They are cool. About 10 years ago, very similar models were being sold pretty widely. They were called "split toe."

Where do you get 'em and are they corrected leather?

At the moment I'm waiting to get these Allen Edmonds in the mail:

Not vintage, but nice!

[Dr Doran]

Did you get a good price on them?

 

[The real Henry]

30$


Sure, I know they don't still make like they did in the golden era, but Allen Edmonds still are on the higher side of today's quality standard, I think.

Henrik

Yes, and after an application of various oils they will look marvelous. 30 dollars? Nice price.
