I'm thinning out my collection a touch, I wanted to put these up here before trying ebay. They are a very clean, good condition, vintage pair of saddle shoes by Walk-Over, a defunct American company. Very rich nubuck suede and fully leather lined. The workmanship is near perfect, examine the punchwork, symmetry, etc. Only $55 shipped conus, and I would like to try google checkout this time, no Paypal (this is somewhat of an experiment).

They are size 10 D US and I wore them as I am a 9.5, pretty forgiving in size.

Pretty nice!

I always thought Walk-Overs were made in Australia. I guess not

My brother is a big Walk Over fan but he's a 9E. I have no experience with the brand so what do you think? Too big?

I'm wearing size 9E Aristocrafts as I type this. I usually wear 9.5D

Personally I think it would work. Can he comfortably wear 9.5D-10D in other shoes?

Yeah, he can. His shoe size seems to be all over the place.

Tarmac:
I sent you a PM. I'm also a 9.5D. Just to be sure, you're saying that these fit you? I have never worn used, or as they say in the car business, pre-owned shoes before, but these do seem to be in great condition. Could you put these on hold for me? I will give you a definite answer in the next hour.

I replied to you,

The dark parts are navy blue, with matching original laces.

Light parts are cream colored.

Lo and behold, I've decided to take them. My son thinks they're cool. If I don't wear 'em, he will. As far as Google checkout, I'm accustomed to using Paypal. I've only used Google once for shipping. Let me check it out. At this point, I may not get to this until sometime tomorrow. But, I'm definitely going to take them.

Cool, I believe you just sign up for a google checkout account, then you will have a checkout username (gmail address). Once I know your username, I will just set up an invoice for you which you inspect and pay. Let me know when you have it set. This is my first attempt at GCO as well.
