I won a pair of "Hand Inseamed" Florsheim shoes on eBay the other day. They arrived today. These are pretty incredible. I have decided that the shoe has substantial handwork throughout. The welt is definitely hand sewn. It is not machine-made consistent. The waist of the shoe is the most beveled that I have ever seen. On the side shot, yes the shoe is sitting flat. They are definitely supposed to be that way. Does anyone have any info on these shoe?

I am not an expert but it looks awesome. What does it say on the insole?
