John Fluevog "Brando" shoes

I just listed my John Fluevog Brandos on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/John-Fluevo...Men_s_Shoes&hash=item1c29046c4b#ht_500wt_1204

"White pig skin and black patent leather.

I believe retail on these was $265.

They're size 9. But I would say they fit a size 9 WITH LACES and a 9.5 WITHOUT LACES. However, if you're a 9 and don't want laces, you can always add padded insoles (worked well for me!).

They're also insanely comfortable.

Like most of Fluevog's creations, they have a definite Art Deco flair. But they are definitely rock n' roll shoes, having features of both jam shoes and winklepickers.

These are my favorite shoes, but I'm living in the desert right now and rarely get out these days, so I'm just not getting any use out of them.

Please feel free to ask questions."


Thanks!

He has some interesting stuff. My significant other has a collection of 30-40 pairs of his shoes.......some are very retro looking, others, extremely avant-garde (if you've seen his "Grand Nationals" you'd know, lol).

Agreed. I have one other pair by him that I also love.

I've seen his Jaguar if that's what you're referring to?

No, these have hoofs

Much more steampunk than retro tho. Weird looking things.

Haha! Hadn't seen those.

Every once in a while they bring out something that would have been right at home in Terry Gilliam's Brazil. Some of his stuff definitely makes one think "work of art" before "shoe," but, then, there are always some that are both unique and practical.
