Thanks. Makes sense. Lot's of unissued Swedish stuff in large sizes is still available.
Well that does make the boot a bit large size, but the inside of the boots may make them too small for anything we could use here in my home...lol! That size could (not 100 percent of the time) but normally a size 10 1/2 or 11 C is going to give you that outer measurement. I can say if I could find a pair of those boots in a size that would fit my Husband, I would not hesitate to buy them. Those boots are super nice quality. Pegged sole and all.Thanks.
Length is 12 3/4", width is 4 1/4".
Vintage Shoe Addict presented an opportunity that I could not pass up! Thanks sir - I count myself as one lucky short balding guy!
"Star Brand Shoes are Better."
I would like to introduce you to an absolutely mint spade soled white suede pair of vintage shoes shoes. Roberts, Johnson and Rand, St.Louis, MO. are the makers. The pair of shoes are labeled on the box as "White Lace Oxfords, Clipper Last." I need to investigate the manufacturers and will report back. The date of the shoes will have to be confirmed. Suffice they are vintage.
IMO, the shoes have an art-deco-esque seams on the front that are stunning and unique. I took this pic with the right shoe next to my John McHale (possibly Canada's finest shoemaker) 1940's Captoe Derby Gunboats. (They were another gracious offering by VSA. I wear them at least once a week and they look and wear magnificently. They show less wear than a pair of Alden gunboats that i picked nearly the same time as these triple sole beauties.)
The shoe soles are labeled McKay welt and definitely show a distinctive spade shape.
I am stunned by these vintage shoes. They are magnificent.
The pair of vtg. spade shoes no doubt have sat in their original box and in fact the left shoe has never been laced.
I wear my vintage shoes. Vintage Shoe Addict knows my size and these fit like a CHARM! Excellent fit. I know they need some "TLC (tender loving care)," but not sure where to start. I will just sit them on their original box in my wardrobe on my dresser and admire them for the next couple of days.
Just plain stunning! Thanks again Vintage Shoe Adicct! You are the man in my book.
Best to all, Eric -
Today, I got a pair of Aris Allen brown and white spectator shoes. They are very comfortable, and they are the only new spectator shoes (that I know of) that are this style.
Toe shape is similar to some Dinkelacker lasts. Hungarian influence, I guess.
