When Arthur Nikisch (1855 - 1922) was appointed as chief conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra he gave a press conference, stating, that in his first season, he wanted to perform a lot of music by Brahms. When a journalist mentioned that Boston audiences did not care very much for Brahms, his rely was: "Zen vee play him, till zey do!"

Just like our Fritzl.
Nobody (apart from iammatt) cares one iota about this type of Austrian "summer-shoe". But our Fritzl is persistent: "Zen I post zem, till zey do!

I like them and will one day get a pair of perforated or woven shoes. I just don't know yet exactly which I like.

I am not a fan of the shoes posted by fritzl, but I certainly prefer them to the lipstick red Tod's.

Wasn't that style of summer shoe worn by the Austro-Hungarian Emperor, Franz Joseph?Originally Posted by LabelKing
I am not too sure, if FJ had this kind of informal footwear beside his hunting boots. I'll be in Vienna next week. Maybe I can do some research.
His last, meant for his formal shoes, is on display at Rudolf Scheer & Soehne. It is kind of a extreme square toe. Vass book p. 35;

I don't particularly care for the red ones (they were the first pictures I could find), but a summer shoe should be worn without socks (particularly when worn with shorts) and should easily slip off (just in case, you want to cool your feet in the local pond).

Arthur Nikisch:
Nice frock coat!
Apart from that don't forget that Johannes Brahms was German - born in Bremen.

On your next visit to Vienna, look in at Materna. He has at least one sample shoe in elephant. (It's rather ugly, but, hey, if it floats your boat.)Originally Posted by bengal-stripe
Should you care for it, there is a premium of some EUR 310 to the standard bespoke price.
Just back from Vienna I took care of your kind advise. They have several samples and yes, they float my boat.
At least, several years ago, for some reason(I cannot remember), I did not like Maternas' shoes. Hmmmh, what can I say. I'll give them a shot in the future.
