Looks like items here and there on the site may be interesting.

I like the black/white ones. The Georgio Brutini white cap-toe oxfords look good, too.

Did anyone here win these Ferragamo spectators on eBay?: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-FERRAGA...404697428QQcategoryZ48862QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I have these from J. Crew



I hate to be contrary, but there weren't any Saddle Shoes on the page you posted. Those are Spectators. Unless there was something I missed.

One must be careful with shoes. I bought a pair of Brutini's and they are horrible, just incredibly cheap and tough on the feet. I would rather save for a decent pair of shoes.

I like these J.Crew shoes; they are very comfortable and have vintage-style accents, like the stitching and the eyelets. I have a picture somewhere of a pair of Saddle Shoes from the 40s that are very similar.

Mine from Ralph Lauren

Nice to finally be able to wear them again.

ehhh, stacy adams and georgio brutini are both pretty poor quality shoes, as well as uncomfortable. When i worked in a shoe store years ago, we carried both brands. Stacy Adams were the worse of the two. 2 wearings to church and the things were so creased up and popped out it looked like they were 5 years old. The leather was very thin and low quality, and the soles would be torn to shreds after a few days down a sidewalk.

Well I was going to pick up some Stacy Adams wing tips, but now, I've reconsidered. So if Stacy Adams and Georgio Brutini are both junk, where does a man get a decent pair of shoes for under $100?

How about these Botany 500 spectators for $50?
Check out the ones in the middle...

I like Muffy's

I dunno about Botany 500. The brand does ring a bell with me as Kinney Shoes (owned by Woolworth corp) had a brand similarly named, but that was like 15 years ago before woolworth went chapter 11. Maybe the same one. Those are good looking shoes. Bass makes great bucs and saddle shoes. Spectators are a bit harder to come by. If you find some good ones, link up!

For saddle shoes- Dexter's campus model I love these. I may have to order some. Dexter is a very good brand.

BTW, Mr. Misanthropy- my grandparents lived in Hannibal most of their lives. Been there many times, nice little town.

Botany 500 supplied all the suits for most of the game show and talk show hosts of the 1970s, or at least it seemed that way. I always saw their name in the end credits.
