Alligator Laid Apron Norwegian
Euro 660This is a remarkably well made Italian Alligator Loafer, and, in spite of my admitted prejudice against the deluge of Blake and Rapid Stitched alligators that come out of Italy today (at laughably high prices), this shoe is perfectly well made and, if further protected with a Topy sole, should last many a year.
Unbranded but no doubt intended to be sold by one high-end gentleman’s emporium or another, think Neimans or Brooks or Wilkes Bashfords. All in all, this is among the more elegant models to come out of Italy and one to be expected to have cost three to four time the price shown here.
Size Details:
Unmarked as to size but by my measurements, correct for a US 9-9.5D foot. Continentale 42-42.5D, medium width.Marked US 9C but takes a US 8.5D shoemaker's last perfectly well. Thus, Continental 41.5D-42C.
Shoe Condition:
Tops: like new, leather soft and pliable and flawless. Bottoms: showing first trivial rubbing consistent with having been worn two or three time only, Near new. NEUWERTIG! Sold without trees.
