I had a look, there doesn't seem to be anything for me unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion though.

At a reasonable price. My budget would be around £100. I have already had a look at this thread, but nothing there really interests me.

So far, these are the only reasonably priced contenders:

Does anyone know of any better places I could try? I've already checked eBay, to no avail.

Thanks.

First, what is your shoe size, and second, would you be willing to go pre-owned to get a true vintage model?

My shoe size is 7 and yes, I would most definitely be willing to purchase pre-owned vintage shoes.

I notice from the link that the Grenson spectators are made in Spain. I was under the impression that they made all their shoes at the factory in Rushden, Northants. Anyone know how long they've been producing shoes overseas?

Not sure but I know Loakes have some of their shoes made in India though the quality appears fine, funny though that they don't brag about the fact though the prices have stayed pretty much the same despite the fact that they are probably saving quite a bit in manufacturing costs?

I just found these. I don't really like the longwing style though. Oh and my size isn't available.

I have other Grensons - lovely shoes. I do have the Rocket Original Brown & Whitw wingtip co-respondents. They compare very favourably indeed, so far, to a pair of Loakes that cost me considerably more (also to Barkers I have, which are chestnut and cream, otherwise identical to those ASOS options).

The Rocket Originals may be my best bet then. Thanks for the info.

Just found these. The picture is taken from the Herring Shoes website, funny huh? Not sure if I should really trust this website. When something looks too good to be true, it usually is.
