Florsheim Imperial Longwing 11D

A nice pair of Florsheim Imperial Longwings in 11D. Uppers are in excellent condition, there are no scuffs or scrapes. You can see the sole wear in the pictures. I'm asking $60 shipped by USPS domestic priority OR $50 for a local pick up in downtown Seattle. Please PM with any questions. One day I hope to find a pair in my size(8.5 or 9)! I'd also consider a trade in the small chance someone has a smaller pair. OUTER SOLE length is 13" and width is 4.5".

Bump for my absolute faves from back in the day. If I didn't recently pick up similar AE Macs I'd be all over these.

have vintage longwings always had a place on SF? or is there a recent upswing in popularity?

^No question there's a recent upswing in popularity tied to the recent Alden longwings thread, the Teamshoe's Alden sale, Get Smart's cool look with them and, dare I say it, Thom Browne. The Trads have long been fans, too.

The longwing's time has come!

Thanks to all, they are sold pending payment. They are cool shoes. I have a knock off vintage pair from Sears that were my father's. They are almost identical in style but not quality to the non-imperial Florsheims longwings. But I do want to get the real thing!

Rezzor, your Sears may not be knock-offs at all. Florsheim made the Sears longwings at one time. They could be the real deal.

Interesting. The outer uppers do look identical. The only quality difference I see is that the inside of the shoe is man made material if I remember correctly. And the heel is rubber.
