This is a great pair for those who want vintage shoes but have been unable to find their size. ■ Product Overview ・ Brand: Florsheim ・ Model: 97677 (Varsity) ・ Design: Plain-toe blucher (PTB) ・ Material: Grain leather (pebbled leather) ・ Size: US 11 D (approx. 29.0cm) ・ Color: Black ■ Features and Appeal This is a classic American trad design, comparable to Alden's 990 and Allen Edmonds' Leeds. It uses "grain leather (pebbled leather)," which is resistant to scratches and has a substantial feel. Furthermore, it features a double sole with a "storm welt" to prevent water and sand from entering, and the robust construction typical of Florsheim, often called "gunboat," is appealing. It goes perfectly with denim, chinos, and military pants, fitting perfectly with the current trend of wanting to add volume to your footwear. ■ Condition The leather quality of the upper is very good, with the soft texture and luster unique to vintage items. Small scratches are not noticeable due to the pebbled leather. The logo on the insole remains clean, giving a sense of cleanliness. The heel is a rubber heel with the "The Florsheim Shoe" logo. There is little wear, and it does not need to be replaced yet. The outsole is also solid, and you can use it for a long time as is. ■ Size US 11D is recommended for those who wear around 29.0cm in Japanese sizes. Florsheim shoes have a good fit, so they are easy to wear even for those with wide feet. Vintage shoes that fit are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Please consider this opportunity. ※ Shoe trees are not included as they are for photography purposes. ※ Will be shipped in simple packaging.
