Thanks for your bespoke like oration on this design of shoe. Ive always favored this type. Its also interesting how many exotic colors and patterns they have been made in over the years . We have seen crocks -gators-snakes- also various textures on the apron parts like -mesh-canvas-basket weaves-2 tones Etc. The vintage & nostalgic split toes in some sites like Etsy show some gems. COOL changes over the years. Finally to me , whether you dig in city or country ...theres something about this shoe that shows "you've got it all flagged out & sewed up"... like a clipper ready for sea!!!
