They were selling for $100 (can) at Hudson's Bay but that's what they looked like they were worth. I still have a pair of Florsheim Imperials that I bought 20 years ago. The quality has definitely gone down since then. I bought a vintage pair similar to the ones shown for about $70. I think I will probably be buried in them.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264229857909017625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470177446400129794.post-46162956873381803812010-05-30T22:57:28.612-04:002010-05-30T22:57:28.612-04:00Florsheim Kenmoore in the Cognac.

You won't break the bank and you'll get exactly what you're looking for...or wait for the Bass Barret Longwing suede with red brick sole for like $90! The Alden's are nice but let's be honest with eachother, why spend that much right now. Maybe in the future!Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470177446400129794.post-27641047895378833112010-05-27T04:37:21.240-04:002010-05-27T04:37:21.240-04:00PA-based.

They were bought by Clarks at some point in the 70's I beleive. I think the Hanover family moved into raising horses...<br />The longwings pictured are, of course, old. How old, I'm not sure. <br />But a good find at $30. We'll see how the hold up.jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231085398635307717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470177446400129794.post-19186614580352468832010-05-26T13:56:45.686-04:002010-05-26T13:56:45.686-04:00They are such classic shoes!

An incredibly sound $200 investment that will get you 90% of the shelf life of Alden's if you know how to treat 'em.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470177446400129794.post-54571777111785111172010-05-25T18:37:54.640-04:002010-05-25T18:37:54.640-04:00These look good.
