• Florsheim Imperial
  Full Brogue Derby
  The finest and most durable shoe ever made in America.
  Euro 860

  My 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. 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. The attention to detail in the Imperials is most impressive: Goodyear welted and riveted double sole with additional split reverse storm welt [Pic#8]. A shoe of this build quality, with 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. 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, all of which I myself sell, and you will see that this a far superior shoe. 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.
