Anyone seen these beauties yet? A brown and a black pair of the same 40s, dead stock spade soles. The appear to be flawless.

If they were size eight I would have already bought them...
You would have to go and point these out again, I have already wept a few times with lust, wishing they would fit a size 11D....(sigh) yes indeed those are mouth watering and well worth the asking price. That particular gentleman has some very dashing shoes all the time, but more than not, not in my size....(drats and drats again)!
I could not drink enough Scotch to allow myself to be caught wearing something as silly as those long pointed boots. (I really do not drink as it is, but you know what I mean)! Elves, and I for some reason think they sort of remind me of shoes that Aladdin would wear, minus the small tinkling bells that should be attached to the pointed end of them....sadly there are several hundred pairs of those type of boots for sale on eBay.....some of them would look just great if they had a more normal toe on them.....
Good afternoon. I have yet to invest in a vintage shoe as I am still trying the style on to see if it fits me. (No vintage shoes other than my 30+ year old business shoes). I did invest in a pair of Allen Edmond Waldens in a vintage inspired color scheme. The 2 tone scheme, milk chocolate and creme, I thought would work well as a casual loafer. I have in mind wearing it during the warmer months when my buddy and I gig (play pre-war acoustic blues and show tunes). I do like the shoe and am trying it out today for a casual meeting and a trip to work.

They look both comfortable and stylish. Do they come in other color combos in case you become enamored of them?

For my single pair of loafers, I own some crocs by zelli in that same rustic style.
