Here are some heavyweights in the Wingtip arsenal...these are a pair of special order Hanovers. They were made for a high end store. They have the "comfort arch" arch support that LB Sheppard signature Hanovers have, but these are just one up on that model, they have a slightly thicker sole and v cleat heels. Something not all LB Sheppard's will have. They are heavy but the leather is super soft and not stiff at all. Calfskin leather, in a heavy scotch grain finish.

These have been cleaned, conditioned and polished. They only need a size 11D foot to go on...they will last a long time....they are noted to be a heavy weight and actually in our opinion, run circles around the Florsheims of the same model type and age. Look at the shine on these rascals.!!!! LOL!

You can own these for a bargain price. You will see similar NOS shoes like this on eBay for up to $299.00 at times...and less...but not these pair...these are a cut above those.....thicker soles.

Price: $120.00 shipped any place in the United States. If you live any other place, I will have to add the actual shipping cost to this price. And it may cost you some for where you live. These weight around 5 or 6 pounds.....so factor that in please if you desire to buy these and you live across the pond or north/south of the US Border.

PM me if you want these and of course ask away with any questions. We showed these babies to our Cobbler, he made up know about the special order part, as there is NO name on the shoe...but the comfort arch pad inside gives the maker away and that there are no branding says they were heading to a high end mens clothier or shoe store. He says Shaw shoe company (and others) would do things that way at times and such was the case for these Hanovers.....

These are some great shoes. The cell phone pictures are fairly crummy, these shoes are super nice....yes super. Superman would LOVE to have owned these. So if you have a grey double breasted suit, fedora, and tie, then these shoes are just right for you.

These ARE pretty great. I almost bought a pair of Hanovers recently off Etsy, but though they were advertised as 12s they turned out to be 11s.

I was thinking those income tax returns may have given someone extra cash for these to be going to a new owner by now.....humm.....I do know one Bartender that has a size 11D foot....lol! Of course, if nothing else, I may just have to gift these fantastic shoes to that Bartender as I owe him a pair as it is....lol!

Well now these shoes are going to Mr. James Powers,. our beloved Bartender and keeper of the evil elves out there in the Golden State of California.....perhaps he will take a few pictures of them wearing as he goes down the sidewalks showing some top shelf style. I sort of owed him a X-Mas gift and as they say better late then never! LOL LOTS of LOVe for James.....

Thanks everyone for looking
