Full Wing-Top Derby Brogue by the eminent American Shoemaker. Out of the over 200 American Shoemakers clustered around New England at the start of the 20 Century, only a handful remain, among them Bostonian, Cole-Haan, J &M and the better-known Alden and Allen-Edmonds. The formerly great Florsheim and Bostonian exist today as marketing firms, the bulk of their wares being produced off-shore. Hanover too is reduced to a mere marketing firm, its offerings a far cry from the excellent hand-finished shoes for which they were once known and of which the present shoe is a splendid example. Hanover, like Florsheim, Cordwainer, Nunn-Bush and others, produced more than one price and quality level of product, in some cases even taking orders for custom shoes, extremely desirable rarities today. This pair, Goodyear welted (of course) has the additional "split reverse Welt-Storm welt" and is made of a high quality burgundy calfskin. This is a marvelous classic model in the old tradition of workmanship, a handsome and extremely durable shoe, equal to the great Florsheim Imperials and superior, in my view, to almost all contemporary Full Brogues, including those from Alden or Allen Edmonds and the important English makers at over Euro 1000! This is, in addition, an extremely rare size: an almost unobtainable 6EEE/E, so if this is your size, this is likely a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain a new model of this particular shoe. Size: 6E US, for the wider foot. Shoe trees, if shown, are not included. Text courtesy of, and with permission of, Sevan Minasian of Classic Shoes for Man.
