Even the tissue paper surrounding these black pebblegrain beauties is original. Size 9.5AA and absolutely flawless. Looking for $150>>$140>>$130 CONUS, will ship international at actual rate.

That is a rare find, and a great price.

Ah... I could stare at those soles all day. It would be difficult to bring myself to wear them the first time.

How is that faux-wood effect achieved on the leather?

Lotsa "Imperials", but MANY FEWER ""Royal Imperials". Supposedly the Florsheim top-of-the lines & very nice classic style. Beats the hall out of any pair of grain leather longwings out now.

Sadly, A, AA, AAA sizes dominate the NOS pairs. WHO STOLE ALL THE C's, D's & E's???

Those shoes are absolutely knock out gorgeous. The price is way too low - and the size is much too small for my 10EEE feet.

Life is so-o-o-o-o full of disapointments!!!!

Bump for gorgeous shoes. If these are your size buy them, literally no one makes shoes like this anymore.

All the normal widths got sold. Narrow and/or sometimes extra wide sat in the storeroom unsold and unloved until they eventually became deadstock.
