i've just bought a pair of these...........
they're made by n.d.c., a belgian handmade footwear company. here's the blurb.....
"n.d.c.'s 'Pre World War' Brogues have been made using an original last from 1939. As World War II began, our factory ceased production because of material shortages and restrictions. By the time our workshop re-started crafting shoes in 1945, the last was long forgotten in a factory cave.
Only recently re-discovered, its design mirrors the finest of the era for footwear handcrafting. For shoe connoisseurs and quality lovers alike, these made-to-order shoes are a stunning classic..."
their other shoes are artfully distressed things for fashionistas. these are not typical of their usual style by any means. in fact i was shocked that they'd be interested in such an idea.
i figured i'd shell out the small fortune for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy a pair of new exact 30s design shoes. mine are numbered 29 of a possible 100. i must say, the quality is breathtaking. what you can't see from the photo is that they are very wide then pointed....spade shaped.
