They'd be greatly improved if they were modified to take these buckles.


I was shoe shopping only yesterday. I saw what I really wanted; Florsheim "Lexington" wingtip brogues with a really high polish; almost like patent leather, for $100. On the way home I stopped by a second-hand store, and found a pair of virtually unused wingtip brogues for $6.00. Once they're properly bulled up, I'm quite sure that they'll do just as well, for a savings of $94.00.
