they have a "spanish" feel to them. Very curvy and delicate look to them.

Painted some cabinets wearing booties and this was the result. Thought it might be appreciated here.

My first guess for the pants is Ralph

you just found a pair of original army issue wwii roughouts sitting at your local army navy store for $75.00. Un issued?

not from a local shop, but an online store for a shop in DE (dover army navy). they had one pair of boots, roughouts in 6.5E, in their wwII "collectors" section. i'm a girl so i figured i wouldnt be able to stumble upon a size like this again.

heres a picture:

it says they're unissued and originals, they look kinda beat but i'm guessing that could also be from how old they [maybe] are. they don't have the rivet though, and i thought all of the originals did? maybe its because of the sizing? i dunno.

Woah, what are the soles on those?

yes, they do look unissued, just dirty. When do you get yours? They still have on online but in that size is why they still have them....

nice pick up.

Those look like USMC Roughouts rather than Army.

I have some repros.

[crownzip]

Amazing find! Those are original WWII issue USN/USMC roughouts.

whats the link on that bud? wesco moto toe pls?

[retemeris]

boo.. the army navy store called me today cause they screwed up. they had 2 shoes that didnt match

the search continues....

[sixsixtie]

That sucks but it did sound too good to be true.

[35percent]

Any info on these Aldens. Inside says "Made specially for Steve Petix" and they were made in USA, and I believe it also says Beverly Hills MI. Size 11, so they were a bit small for me, but was wondering if they were worth anything, they were marked $40 in the shop.

I think they're the madallions, would it be worth going and buying to try to trade/resell? http://www.aldenshop.com/DrawOneShoe.asp?CategoryID=36

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

A used pair of alden's will almost definitely go for more than 40 bucks on ebay, if that's what you're wondering.

[dunkin deeznuts]

speaking of Alden, i just got my #8 Indys back from Alden after a restoration

Post pics later...

[HoustonChris]

What do the soles look like? They look unworn from your pics. I'd snatch them up for $40, but then I'm a size 11 and I love a good cap toe oxford in any shade of brown.

[35percent]

Soles look pretty decent, worn but not abused.

Could I realistically sell them with a profit, I knew they're 420 new but used looks like i'd get significantly less than that

not exactly [ancient], but ....

one small [but flattering] sign that your shoes does not suck is when people on the street [on different continents] approach you to ask what or where you got your "kicks", lulz!

ok i need some help.... ive never had leather boots before so i kopped a 10.5 and 11 in wolverine 1000 mile boots...

i am kinda lost as to which size is better for me... i normally wear 11- 11.5 in sneaks and 10.5 in chucks but in these the 10.5 is alitte snug in the instep and the sides of the toes but the 11s are alittle long for me.. (feels like it anyways)

what do you guys think i should keep? im so ambivalent
