CROCKETT & JONES VINTAGE BROGUES – BROWN / TAN – UK 8 – EVEREST - EXCELLENT CONDITION
A very fine (and very rare) pair of vintage five-eyelet full-brogue derby shoes in beautiful brown/tan calf leather from C&J – perfect town-and-country footwear. They are in excellent used condition, overall – notwithstanding a little creasing across the vamps and the odd surface mark here and there (see photos). This pair were fitted with rubber over-soles when they were new and these have been removed to reveal the original leather sole beneath (see photos). This is a very rare design to see - so, you will be very unlikely to meet anyone else wearing the same shoes as you (always a nice feeling, I think).
The style is ‘Everest’ – a traditional town-and-country derby shoe - never out of place and ideal for dressing-up or dressing-down. The shoes are off C&J’s 254 Last.
The width fitting is ‘F’ - which is the ‘wider-than-standard’ width fitting.
The shoes feature leather soles, weather-resistant storm welts, calf leather uppers, full leather linings and all the build-quality that one expects from this traditional English shoemaker.
