Nice. Do they have the rubber soles, or the leather ones with the "Nettleton Peg" (Equivalent of the Florsheim V-Cleat)

Here's your answer:

Here's your answer:

Congrats, you got the good ones. They must weigh 2x what the rubber heeled models do.

In his 20's, my Dad wore a 9+. In his 40's, a 9 1/2. Now, in his 60's, a 10. Lucky for him, he's not a collector. I will be broken hearted when some of my smaller Shoe Treasures no longer fit!

Someone told me I needed a nice Conservative pair of black Bluchers for the winter...

1950's Horn-Back Lizard Cap Toe Bluchers

It kills me that, after months on eBay, these superb deadstock 1930s wingtips (not mine) still haven't sold ... so I'm posting the auction here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1940s-BLACK...?pt=US_Mens_Vintage_Shoes&hash=item23173fe1d5

 

[Tomasso]

Maybe it's the small size.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Maybe it's the small size.

But plenty of Japanese collectors wear small shoe sizes. [huh]

 

[Guttersnipe]

You know what they say about guys with small feet . . . they have all the luck when to comes to vintage shoes!

I've purchased from that seller. They are nice, but have no idea about the shoes they sell. They are also located overseas, so it costs $25 to ship. Add in the lousy pics, and i can understand why buyers are hesitant.

Marc, you truly inspired me with some of the incredible Vent Specs you have. My mouth was WATERING for these, as the seller had said, "size 8 1/2D". They turned out to be an 8C. I can wear an 8C in some 40's shoes, but 30's 8C is SMALL.

With the brass eyelets to take them to the pimp level...in the 50s sense of course...isshi does conservative....yeah right...

Just received these.

Nettleton shell cordovan longwings in my narrow size:

Lucky. l actually could have bought an NOS pair last year of cordovan longwings by the same maker but decided not to because of the $500 price tag. l'm still kicking myself over it.

 

[The Shooman]

Just won these. Dr. Scholl's Copeg. Looks like they made them from the early '50s through early '60s.

Wow amazing stuff! l've seen similar constructions but never like that before. Really fine sole stitching and a double wood pegged waist despite the waist being sewn on one side.

l wonder where they were made.

 

[Tomasso]

l wonder where they were made.

Dr. Schools manufacured shoes in Tennessee from 1940-1970.
