vintage Florsheim Imperial longwings

I bought these on ebay a few weeks ago. The pictures on the listing weren't great, and it was hard to get a sense of wear. The price was good, though, and I thought a little elbow grease might turn these into a fun shoe for mocha-colored slacks and even denim. I was pleasantly surprised when these arrived. They're in great shape. A little polish and sole edge dressing really made these things look nice. The v-cleat soles are indestructible, of course, and have decades of life left. The shoes are just a tad narrow for me, though, so I'm going to try to flip them. If I can't sell for profit, then I'll stretch and keep in my collection.
