Mormonopoly, TWO 2 true vintage pairs posted in a row! Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about. Nice

I found these officer's boots on ebay UK. Not sure if they are British, though. They are stamped 47 A but run smaller if this is supposed to be the size. I wear a 44.5 and they are probably a 45. They are bit too long for me and also too wide with a high instep, but an insole should fix that. They seem to be unissued old stock. The insole reads 47 88 Edlings. Does anybody know the brand?

Now I am going to soak them in Lexol for a few days.

i've owned a pair of those before Rudie. i think they're Swedish.

 

[Rudie]

Thanks. Makes sense. Lot's of unissued Swedish stuff in large sizes is still available.

Wow Rudie, those look killer! Nice and heavy well made boots. Those punch size say 47 A, that must mean a narrow boot? How long and wide are they by measuring the sole width and total length? I think I will go take a peek at listing for UK eBay and see what else they may have listed. Thanks for sharing.

Really good looking boots, Rudie!! Nice find!

 

[Rudie]

Thanks.

Length is 12 3/4", width is 4 1/4".

 

[LuvMyMan]

Thanks.

Length is 12 3/4", width is 4 1/4".

Well that does make the boot a bit large size, but the inside of the boots may make them too small for anything we could use here in my home...lol! That size could (not 100 percent of the time) but normally a size 10 1/2 or 11 C is going to give you that outer measurement. I can say if I could find a pair of those boots in a size that would fit my Husband, I would not hesitate to buy them. Those boots are super nice quality. Pegged sole and all.

Vintage Shoe Addict presented an opportunity that I could not pass up! Thanks sir - I count myself as one lucky short balding guy!

"Star Brand Shoes are Better."

I would like to introduce you to an absolutely mint spade soled white suede pair of vintage shoes shoes. Roberts, Johnson and Rand, St.Louis, MO. are the makers. The pair of shoes are labeled on the box as "White Lace Oxfords, Clipper Last." I need to investigate the manufacturers and will report back. The date of the shoes will have to be confirmed. Suffice they are vintage.

IMO, the shoes have an art-deco-esque seams on the front that are stunning and unique. I took this pic with the right shoe next to my John McHale (possibly Canada's finest shoemaker) 1940's Captoe Derby Gunboats. (They were another gracious offering by VSA. I wear them at least once a week and they look and wear magnificently. They show less wear than a pair of Alden gunboats that i picked nearly the same time as these triple sole beauties.)

The shoe soles are labeled McKay welt and definitely show a distinctive spade shape.

I am stunned by these vintage shoes. They are magnificent.

The pair of vtg. spade shoes no doubt have sat in their original box and in fact the left shoe has never been laced.

I wear my vintage shoes. Vintage Shoe Addict knows my size and these fit like a CHARM! Excellent fit. I know they need some "TLC (tender loving care)," but not sure where to start. I will just sit them on their original box in my wardrobe on my dresser and admire them for the next couple of days.

Just plain stunning! Thanks again Vintage Shoe Adicct! You are the man in my book.

Best to all, Eric -

I've seen photos of those before and I love them! Congratulations!

(I'm not jealous at all... At least that's what I tell myself. )

 

[Bamaboots]

Wow, what a find.

 

[LuvMyMan]

This is why I send people to vintageshoeaddict in hopes they will take the opportunity to do business with him.....How can you bet those rare shoes? He has the best overall listings for clean, sharp, well made vintage shoes you can hope to find. He does know vintage and it shows.

[Retro Spectator]

Today, I got a pair of Aris Allen brown and white spectator shoes. They are very comfortable, and they are the only new spectator shoes (that I know of) that are this style.

very odd toe shape.

 

[Rudie]

Toe shape is similar to some Dinkelacker lasts. Hungarian influence, I guess.

Traditional budhapester toebox. I was thinking the same thing. So VERY strange use of it... especially in a spectator. Totally lost all elegance.

Aris Allen is a manufacture of dance apparel and have a line of vintage inspired shoes and clothing geared specifically toward swing dancers. They are more in line with an athletic/activewear type shoe with a vintage styling. The shape of the toe box is probably more about function over form.
