LOL LOL I think it would have taken a little more then some pollish to fix thos shoes. They look like they're falling apart! Maybe they're some sort of sandle? Hard to tell.
You know, that man is the legendary Frankie Manning from the Savoy Ballroom also was a member of the famous dance team Whitey's Lindy Hopers. He still is teaching Lindy Hop today! I have met him and he is a class act all the way! Funny guy and full of life!
Yeah, I don't know what the deal is with those shoes, but next time I see him, I might ask him about it. Maybe a lucky pair or something.
One of the coolest gigs I ever played was Frankie Mannings 86th B-day in Tokyo. Even though he was recovering from a broken leg or hip, he was still right up there dancing. Super nice gentleman as well.
You have to admire a guy who can swing with a broken wing or hip, leg, or anything. I am strickly swing but it would look like break dancing on pain killers if it was me. It would be a real scream. A hoot and a holler. "Mr. bartender can I get a double Martini when I get off of the floor please?" That is one picture that would never be seen.
