OPTIMIZED TITLE: Vintage Florsheim Executive Imperial 156 Men's 12 B Burgundy Leather USA Dress Shoes DESCRIPTION: Vintage Florsheim Executive Imperial men's leather dress shoes, style/model 156, in men's US size 12 B. A handsome American-made pair from Florsheim's Executive Imperial line featuring rich burgundy / oxblood leather uppers, classic lace-up construction, leather soles and Florsheim-branded rubber heel caps. The interior factory markings identify the shoes as style 156 and clearly state "LEATHER UPPER / OTHER PARTS MAN MADE MATERIAL" and "MADE IN U.S.A." The black leather footbeds retain the distinctive gold-tone Executive Imperial branding and logo. These have a classic traditional American dress-shoe silhouette with an elongated rounded/almond toe, clean quarters, understated stitching and five-eyelet lace-up closure. The dark burgundy leather has excellent depth of color and develops darker tones around the edges, quarters and flex areas. Unlike many contemporary dress shoes, this pair retains traditional leather outsole construction. The leather soles show definite previous wear but remain intact, while the heels are fitted with black Florsheim-branded rubber heel caps. The uppers remain particularly attractive for a vintage pre-owned pair. They show natural creasing through the vamp along with scattered surface marks, rubbing and variations in the leather finish, but maintain a polished, highly presentable appearance. A particularly good candidate for someone who appreciates vintage Florsheim footwear, traditional American-made dress shoes, burgundy/oxblood leather or narrower-width men's shoes.
