Description: The Classic Shoes For Men website has this to say about this Florsheim Royal Imperial model: Florsheim “Royal” Imperial Full Brogue Derby Circa 1985 The finest and most durable shoe ever made in America. Euro 720My old clients have grown weary of hearing me extol the virtues of the vintage Florsheim Imperial Budapesters. Not that they disagree that Florsheim made a shoe that will not soon be equaled in the world, certainly not among the ready-mades. The attention to detail in the Imperials is most impressive. This particular pair is exceptional, as it is brand new; an extreme rarity for a shoe not made for over 20 years. And it is exactly the type of shoe leather that will develop an extraordinarily beautiful patina over the years. Florsheim’s Pebble Grain Calfskin takes to polish exceptionally well and, over time, takes on a warm glow. A shoe of this build quality, with storm welt (so called, “split reverse welt”), double sole and armoured heel -please notice the double row of hand-set nails and tri-angular cleat that protect the heel- is a gift from the gods for a big or a heavy man or any man who is long on his feet or hard on shoes. [Please note that the listed shoes appear to have replacement heels]. You will be wearing this pair long after you have walked out of several other pairs of less substantial shoes.Compare the Imperial Full Brogue Budapesters to a pair of Church’s, Crockett & Jones, or Alden’s Brogues at 600-700 Euros, all of which I myself sell, and you will see what a bargain this superior Florsheim Imperial is. Nor should one imagine that because I am presenting more than one pair at once that these shoes are commonly available; they are not. These represent years of my collecting!Read what my other clients have said about this shoe; they rave, and rightly so. Have a pair for yourself; you will not be disappointed. The perfect all-season shoe, for rain or shine, Town or Country, a beautiful and no-nonsense Full Brogue for the gentleman,the “Royal” Imperial is the last of the great Imperial made in America.https://classicshoesformen.com/the-collection/new-florsheim-royal-imperial-full-brogue-circa-1985-us-9-5-narrow-42-5-narrow/
