    Flack & Smith, bespoke shoemakers were in operation in London and Oxford at least until the late 1940s or 1950. Little other information appears to be available. I would be obliged to anyone shedding greater light on their history. Indeed, this is a wearable museum piece that might easily take its place among the very few other examples of the masters’ work in the Cordwainers College Historic Shoe Collection. There is no more rare shoe in the history of 20th Century English shoemaking. A beautifully made and nicely restored Brown Caflskin over Brown suede, the welt of this spectator is suitably hand-sewn into a closed channel. The slim, elegant line of this shoe will compliment any wearer. For the advanced collector.
