Hello Gentlemen,
Up for sale is a great pair of Vintage Florsheim Imperial Longwings. There was once no finer shoe than that made by Florsheim of Chicago. These longwings are no exception - they are a gorgeous patinated reddish-chocolate brown pebblegrain. The leather is amazing on these - very soft and supple, not that sticky shiny pebblegrain on some vintage shoes. Inners are in good condition - some wear to the heel areas near where the shoe horn would be placed. Uppers have very minute creasing and a few scratches as expected with age, as you can see they look phenomenal. The leather has been freshly cleaned and conditioned, no dryness or cracking anywhere. Both shoes exhibit patination that has actually naturally lightened the leather to a dark chestnut. Looks very cool, natural antiquing! 360 storm welt. 5-Nail soles cannot be harmed, they have wear but are extremely sturdy. The heels have more wear but are also still sturdy, v-cleat has been replaced. Laced with brand new Made in the USA waxed laced. Made in USA - to last a lifetime. Price includes Priority Shipping CONUS, go ahead and treat yourself. Shoe trees not included.
Length (end to end along bottom) - 12.5"
Width (at widest point) - 4.5"
Send me a message if you would like more pictures or measurements!
Thanks!
