WTB: Brown and White Spectator Shoes

[Time]

Size 7.5-8 UK (8.5 US)

Must ship to the UK. Please let me know if you have a pair. It seems like it's impossible to find anything affordable.

What do you classify as "affordable"? Rocket Originals do very nice options at around GBP120. Not sure you'll find anything much south of that in the co-respondent style.

I've probably said this before in regards to similar threads, but no shoe is more expensive than the pair you never wear. In other words, watch out because at lower price points, a lot of the spectators / corespondents available tend to be poor quality, not suited for normal wear, and typically are not very comfortable.

Currently there are several nice spectators on eBay, and the smaller sized ones are easier to find then larger sizes.

Edward: there was that place on Kingsway/Southampton Row that had a permanent sale on (or at least it did all of last year). I'm sure they had brown and white spectators (or was it brown and cream). Maybe they are still selling them? If I recall, they were about £70. Have you seen whether that shop is still open?

They're still around. They "close down" every year at the end of the Summer, as they spend about six weeks in and around September touring the US, selling Harris Tweed. They do good reductions on regular shoes, but I've yet to see the co-respondents in it. They sell Loake co-rs for about GBP150, which is about average.

Well, I was considering buying the Rocket Originals, but I was hoping maybe someone has a vintage pair they can let go for slightly less than that.

I do check eBay regularly. I just though I'd post here since I know members here have a nice collection of vintage items.
