Spectator Shoes

[Wild Root]

This photo was taken in 1930 and the man on the left is Director Malcolm St Clair and in the middle is Gertrude Olmsted. They were being given a golfing lesson by Richard Dix (the man in the knicker suit with the argyle socks) while filming scenes for the Paramount picture 'Sporting Goods.'

Just thought I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d ad a little info on the photo! I agree that they do look clueless, but I think that was the idea. Just a fun publicity shot for the papers to promote the new film.

I know that for most of us we'd love to all have a pair of Edmonds but prices being what they are, has anyone checked out the offerings of Swing era dancing shoe makers. I found a few sites connected to Arts page and some of the shoes look interesting. One spectator, actually states that you can even wear them out. I wonder if any of our Swing Dancing members could comment. They could offer a less expensive alternative>

Warm Regards

Now these are pretty sharp especially if you're a 10B.

Gentlemen,

While shopping at Bachrach in a Mall in the Dallas area I saw some black and brown spectators. You can find them atwww.bachrach.com click on shoes, laced shoes and then click on spectators.

I think they look very sharp. I am thinking about getting the black and white.

Nice!

As if having a huge head wasn't burden enough, I also have a hard-to-fit shoe size...9 1/2 EEE.

Generally, I don't have that much trouble, but as an example, these shoes only come in regular width.

Oh well...

I picked these up on Ebay not bad for $57.00 but i want to find a better pair in 11.5 or 12D. I want the black and brown 2 tones I've been looking for months.
