khaki canvas

tan foxing/pigskin trim

made in usa circa 1989

used in box

US9/UK8-8.5 (gum waffle outsole portion measures 27.5cm)

very good used condition. right shoe saw obvious long term use as floor display with exposure to elements. canvas discoloured a pistachio colour & rubber midsole shows widespread yellowing. on the whole the rubber remains soft & flexible however does shoe dryness, glue oxidation & widespread wrinkling upon bend. these have been worn & from experience they will hold up with possible rubber sloughing rather than cracking.  possible continued separation from the uppers at the toe creases may occur over time plus, foxing stripe loss & possibly flaking of entire 1st foxing. the friction itself will be unaffected & as such will hold up to normal wear. the right waffle has darkened slightly but still supple & pliable. leather collar has dried somewhat. wear at own risk!
