Seems to be a fairly decent deal. You can never have enough socks as you fellows seem to always lose one sock to the sock monster weekly! LOL!

Hello; The norm on spectators in general is spring and summer, then just into a early fall "if" you have what is called the "indian summer". The material of those shoes would be in some grave need of protection if you wear them in winter weather. You could spring for some shoe covers from Tingley or Swims (Swims are going to cost you around $100.00 but they are very stylish in how they look), the Tingley will sell for about $30.00 depending on where you buy them. Both the leather and the tweed type material on those shoes will have a hard time with winter unless you can protect them. The leather you can use some conditioner to help but that will only get you so much protection, and cannot keep the shoes from getting soaked from winter weather. The material part of the shoe I don't think there is any product on the market to protect in the winter...I may be wrong, but have to date not seen anything made for it.

Go Cat Go!!!
Recently scored these suede bucks from Bass. They were on clearance for $32.
I'm not real keen on the track shoe cushiony insole, but for the price I can work with it.

Not too bad at all! If you don't have one already, buy a suede brush. It will help keep the suede clean and blue. But also if you use it on them, unless you wash it for another color, be careful as the blue can transfer to white.

Good point! I have a suede brush, but only the one. Guess it'd be worthwhile to grab a second one next time I'm out.
Thanks!

Wow sharp! Those have a slight spade sole to them? They look like NOS or sure close to it.

Wow! Those are a work of art! And actually maybe those could be classified as "Art Deco" within the design structure with that pattern of the weave? We've NEVER seen anything that nice and sharp looking ever in a shoe with a weave. To keep that color if you polish them, I wonder if a cross between Angelus shoe wax polish (red) and Tarrago shoe cream in red, then Kiwi in Mahogany all blended to keep that look? One pair of shoes Daniel has is just about that very same color, almost a red. Those three products seem to keep the shoes the color just right.
What a great find. Those may well be never seen again as both Daniel and I have not seen anything close to those nor as nice in a weave shoe. And you know me, I am scouring the internet all the time for shoes.

Daniel gave these shoes the nick name, "Sinatra's" as he loves the time period and style that they are. I have more pictures of these on my cell phone gallery, but it is a pain to load them on photobucket, so later I will get that done. These have already been since this picture of them, worked on by me for a few days. They are actually made by Shaw shoe company but have another label on them, from the mid 1960's. They did really clean up well, as the next time I post pictures will show....lol!

Isshi agrees with you and he is the Shoemeister on that subject. I had not thought how Art Deco they are with those arrows/chevron detailing it really confirms they are 40s at latest.
You know it! It would be great to have several pairs just like those for wearing in summer weather, one in black and maybe a off cream white with some black around where the lacing is at...sort of a spectator slant on the style? And yes, I would have to agree also with Isshi knowing more about those shoes than most would. I have to think they are fairly rare as I am looking at shoes night and day and never have found anything as nice in a weave shoe at all. You have some deep luck with those for sure....and a bit of talent as well!
