I picked these up at a flea market and after a few blister-inducing wears am sadly acknowledging that they're too small. I'm gutted. They've clearly been worn a good deal and show some clear signs of it, but cordovan is damn near bulletproof! There are no markings inside the shoe - neither brand nor size - but based on how they fit I'd say they're a US size 8. The only marking on the shoe is "Travelite" on the sole.

$80 shipped in the USA (inquire for international shipping).

Total length: 11.75"
Width at widest: ~4.65"

Sorry, but those are not shell cordovan. Your shoe has creases while cordovan only "waves".
