Cool Shoes, Paraphernalia & Desiderata - Part II - Page 15

Lobb Paris - 7.5 William BIN $255. Have seen better days, but look to have lots of life... They are my size, but unfortunately, I already have this exact shoe...

Those are from the days when they were made by C&J.

Thanks for the edification - I noticed the label was different, but didn't know they were made by C&J. Assume the quality has gone up since Lobb took them in-house? How would you describe the quality differential?

I've never actually handled a C&J-era Lobb. I just know the C&J writing. I assume they are good quality. I don't know how it compares to the current stuff.

I'm tempted to offer a $100.00

Good BIN on some slightly odd white Cheaney wingtips;

These Hanover saddles in 9.5D are listed as used, but if they've been worn, it hasn't been much. Seller says they're shell, and the opening bid is only $19.38. Might get a bargain on a nice pair of "used" shoes.

Oooh ... very nice find.

For a guy selling $360,000 watches, this seller sure doesn't spend much on shoes!

They were pretty damned well worn, but someone bought them for $255. I noticed that they had an "s" stamp on the inside of the shoes - I assume that indicates that they were originally classed as subs. So, someone paid $255 (plus shipping) for a very well-worn pair of subs that were originally made by C&J... when they probably could have got a brand new, first quality pair of C&J double monks for under $400 with shipping included.

Interesting size 9 captoes:
