Hi all this is my first post so i thought i'd share with you one of my most recent finds rummaging through the charity shops scattered around London.

I picked these beautiful shoes up for £5.00 a wonderful bargain.

I was wondering though if any one had any info on the original price and current price these shoes would fetch.

They absolutely reeeek of leather and are extremly heavy.

Thanks in advance for your replies

Well, Foster and Sons does bespoke (which probably starts at 1,000 pounds) and I don't know if they make RTW or not so for 5 quid you did great. As to what they would fetch, if they are a size 10.5, they'll fetch you 20 quid

I can see those looking glamorous after a quick shine and polish. Nice catch.
