Lingel in Erfurt was once the largest shoe producer in Germany.

Here a catalogoue from the late 1930's.

Great variety of leisure shoes.

I am enamored by the shoe on page 13... and the others with a middle welt.

Interesting that they emphasize that the marching boots are without any cardboard!

Great catalogue indeed. Sorry I am late here but it could need a bump anyway.

I had placed some of those into the late 40s or 50s while others look spot on 30s to me. Still much to learn when it comes to shoes.

I would to know if someone saved the pictures. I didn't and now they're gone. I would love to have them because in the future I would love to have a pair of bespoke shoes made and this was a fantastic inspiration.
