Custom Vintage Florsheim White Buck Wingtips

[flyfishark]

These white brogues (after all, 'tis the season...)were custom made for James C. Smoot (hope he's not on FL). These are like-new brogues. Because they are custom made they have no size listed, but outside they measure 12" heel to toe x 4 1/8" at widest part of sole. $150 plus $12.00 shipping CONUS.

Those are sweet! Would you mind posting the photos (of the soles too, if you have them) in the SHOES thread. That would benefit the archive and may also help you sell them.

Tomasso, Thanks for the tip...I forgot about the shoe thread. (It's age--I used to look at it all the time)

You seem to come across some great shoes. I am a 10.5 - 11. If you come across anything in my size you have for sale, shoot me a pm.

Thanks!
Scott

I do get some shoes your size, but I can't PM you until you get 15 posts. Watch this site, and I'll let you know when I find something of interest. Thanks for the note.

What is the internal length of those white brogues please? Thanks

Cookie

PS your box is full and needs some cleaning out of old PMs.

Cookie...
Thanks for the 50s date on the white bucks...I thought it was early 60s. Inside measurements of the bucks, as best I could determine with the help of my dear wife, is 11 7/8 x 3 3/4.

PS...your box is full, too!! Mine is now dumped.

You are looking at 11D/E size with those interior dimensions.

Cookie...when you teach a class in the States, I'll be the first to sign-up. Every time I think I know something about vintage American shoes, I run into someone like you and I feel like a neophyte. Uh oh, my wife just saw this and wants to take the class in Sydney--she says it's one of her favorite cities.

If they were UK Size 8 to 8.5 I'd be all over those beauties!

I would not call myself an expert ...there are others around here that probably know more but I am good on the basics to the point that I can read photos on eBay. But hey I still make mistakes.

Master classes in Sydney for visiting Lounger shoe tragics? Now there's a nice little earner...

Thanks, Paddy. They're marked 42, which is a UK 8 I think. here's a photo showing the size marking on the insole
