THE BEST BET * One of the up-to-the-minute lasts in our mens fall shoes is the Best Bet. This last carries a 2 inch heel and a very high high arched shank, the forepart is the shortest ever attempted in men’s shoes, the toe is a nobby high effect. We have a Winter Tan Button and a Button and a Blucher in Box Calf made on this distinctively young mens last and they are certainly selling some. Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller
