As always, I offer FREE SHIPPING ON EVERYTHING in the USA; International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost!
Also as always, ALL OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME!
Please PM with interest and offers!
1) SOLD Sorel winter boots. Sorel make perhaps the best winter boots available, although they have no started to outsource production to China. These boots, however, were Made in the USA. Excellent condition. Size 11. Asking just $65.
2) Florsheim Imperial "Custom Made" bluchers in black. Made in the USA. Featuring the desirable but lethal metal V-cleat on the sole! Size 10 C/E. Very Good condition. Just $40 > 35
3) SOLD Made by Rancourt of Maine, these lovely bison penny loafers were retailed by Bill's Khakis. They were, of course, made in Maine, USA, and are in absolutely excellent condition--they come with the original shoe bags. Size 9D. Just $65.
4) SOLD Rancourt of Maine "smooth" penny loafers. These lovely penny loafers were retailed by Bill's Khakis. They were, of course, made in Maine, USA, and are in absolutely excellent condition--they come with the original shoe bags. Size 9D. Just $65.

Asking just $65 > 50

(Please note that I have just realised that I have photographed the soles of one of these shoes with that of the Grayson listed in 7, above. I'll make sure that you receive the pair you order, as (7) has some minor scuffing and (11) does not!) Just $45 > 40
8) Allen Edmonds "Stockbridge" model in black. (At least, I believe that this is the Stockbridge model--the most comfortable shoe available, in my view!) Minor blemishes to the uppers, as shown, which will readily polish out easily. Size 10D. Very Good/Excellent condition. Just $45 > 40
9) Allen Edmonds "Cornell" monkstraps. In Very Good condition; some minor blemishes to the uppers, as shown, which will easily polish out. Size 9D. Just $45 > 40

14) Barrie Ltd was started in 1934, in New Haven, Conn., as a purveyor of boots and shoes to the men of Yale. It soon expanded into Cambridge, Mass., and then Princeton, NJ.... thus establishing itself as the Ivy shoe seller of choice! These loafers were made by Florsheim expressly for Barrie Ltd. They could use a good polish, and so are in Good condition. Size 11 AA/B. Asking just $29 > 25
15) SOLD Alden of New England--one of the premier showmakers in the US, founded in Middleborough, Mass. in 1884--is one of the great Ivy shoemakers, and these classic tassel loafers show why. Made in Massachusetts--of course!--these are in excellent condition, and come with their original shoe bags.
Size 9 1/2 B/D. Asking just $69 > 55
16) SOLD FOR HER! Sorel winter boots--likely the best available! These were Made in Canada, and are in excellent condition, with only very minor wear to the heel. No laces, though! Ladies Size 7. Asking just $45.

22) SOLD Founded in 1895, The Boot and Shoe Workers' Union was regarded as a radical organization, likely Socialist, and definitely un-American with their attempts to regulate wages and working conditions, and to enforce the use of stamps to show when a shoe was made by what they considered to be a bone fide trade union shop. The Union merged with the Retail Clerk's International Union in 1977, at which point their stamps ceased to be used in boots and shoes.
This lovely, sturdy pair of shoes thus dates from before 1977. Independently of its historic interest--it carries the BSWU stamp, noting the factory that it was made in!--this is a seriously sturdy pair of shows, perfect for manning the barricades or supporting your brother laborers on the docks. It's in Very Good condition, with some minor creasing and surface scuffs that will polish out . Size 11 1/2D, this is a steal at just $35, or offer.
23) Allen Edmonds "Preston" loafers. In excellent condition, except for a minor scuff on one upper, as shown. Size 9D. Asking just $45 > 40
24) Geox loafers. Excellent condition! Made in Italy (clearly, although not marked.) Italian size 41 1/2 (US 8). Asking just $45 > 39
