Hi Everyone,

This thread is for buying, selling, and trading vintage footwear. Please follow the ground rules from other B/S/T threads on StyleForum:

In general:
- Vintage shoes only - as determined by the community
- Post clear images of the product
- Include price, condition, shipping estimation for international versus US, etc.
- Private individual members of the community only - no retailers or commercial entities
- Not a dumping ground for your Ebay store - there are other threads for that, but do feel free to link to a single Ebay auction listing for a single item
- Please adhere to the convivial spirit of the vintage shoe appreciation thread - in other words, don't be an ass.

Please have fun with it and enjoy!

Johnston Murphy used to be a quality manufacturer that rivaled the other higher end domestic makers.

This pair is quite special. These are Johnston and Murphy Aristocraft and they are the Aldrich made in the USA. They still make something similar but it is Aldrich II. These are the REALLY good ones. I didn’t shine them because I wanted to show how nice they are and how light the wear is.

Size 8.5E

Price — $75 OBO plus shipping

I’m glad to see others are posting here.

I have a pair of very nice AE Grayson Black Tassel loafers. They are not mint. But, very nice. I’m sure I could list them on eBay. But, I bought them at a thrift store and would prefer to trade with someone that needs them. I’m looking for something similar value in 10.5C, 10.5D or 11C depending on the shoe.

If someone has something worth a lot more, I’m willing to pay the difference.

These are 12B which I know is not a very common size so there may be no takers.

Hopefully I’m not over posting here. This is not a selling post.

I’m looking to buy. Specifically, two things currently.

93605 and 92604 in 10.5 or 11. I have 11C in 93602. But, I think I can wear 10.5D also.

Looking for NOS or very good to excellent condition.

It's difficult finding some alone time in this Covid situation when the family is wihh you 24/7. So I made an excuse to go lotion up the cars's leather seat an snuck some recent purchases into the back trunk to also condition.


Here are the Kangaroo Florsheim and Arnold/Stetson alligator.

0517201727b.jpg


The 8DStetson alligator don't fit so I will resell them. I'm dealing used shoes from the back trunk of my car. Special today ... $80 gets you a deal on these alligator. I'll throw in a 1/4 Lexol bottle leftover if you make a deal today. $70 and a full bottle if you make the deal tomorrow. :cool2:

BTW, Are these olive or brown?

Inspired by @Nobleprofessor, I’d like to also share my florsheim wishlist in case anyone has any for sale.

I’m looking to buy 93605s, 92612s, 93631s, and 93633s in NOS or gently used/ok condition, in size 12.5E, 13D or 13E.

I’d also love to get a pair of brown pebble grain MacNeils:
