Yes, they appear to be from the '60s. I wonder who the Italian manufacturer for Saks was at that time?
A great find... Enjoy!

You know who notices shined shoes the most, at least so far as my experience is concerned? Older men, women of all ages, and foreigners. Foreigners the most, and I'd suspect it's because shining ones shoes is still a lesson passed on from father to son in places beyond the US border.
They actually look quite discreet under natural lighting. Far more quiet, I think, than button boots.
You know, it just so happens I was a "foreigner" (I immigrated to the U.S.). My father never taught me to shine shoes. Once when I shined his shoes and expected to be praised for it, he frowned instead. He told me it would be silly to spend my time shining (even my own) shoes when I should be earning 50-100 times what shoe shiners make per hour. He said "Make $100 and hour, then pay someone $1 per hour to shine your shoes" (keep in mind the inflation, this was decades ago in another country). Funny thing is, the last time I had a real day job, I made far more than what my father taught, but I still ended up shining my own shoes because I didn't like what the "pro's" did to my shoes. Crazy, eh?

LK, I think you need to go to the heart of the matter and get some shoes made out of Charles Darwin's skin...
Some Bentham shoes might be easier to acquire.

What a fascinating shoe! Is the colour as dark in person, is it the camera/lighting?
Very nice shoes RJman.
