Vintage Florsheim Imperial Longwing Blucher - Overview of a Legendary American Shoe

The Vintage Florsheim Imperial Longwing Blucher is about as iconic as it get for an American Dress Shoe. The style has survived many eras to have modern relevance, and while it has been copied and re-considered many times, the original stands tall and proud as a magestic design worthy of your consideration. Widely available on the used market, go find yourself a clean pair, get the soles restored as I did via Wyatt and Dad Cobblers, and see the shoes re-born, as I did here. I hope you enjoy the result and this video. The Florsheim 93602 Longwing...The Legend Lives On...

Found this in my size in two colors at my local Savers. Under $40 for the pair and in great condition

Sameee!! $38 and in great shape - sadly, they replaced my shell Cordovan 93602 pair which had jussttt enough wear to start cracking once I had them for a month 😂

Instant fan hermano. great video, enjoyed the crisp sound and overall video. Thanks What kind of mid sole did you go with? Looking at the Wyatt & dad website... Purchased the brown vintage Florsheim shoes and want to have a similar finish as yours. Any info would help. Thank you in advance

Gorgeous shoes. Too bad the generation of today, prefers cemented square toed shoes. These are rock solid quality shoes. Even IF they are 40 or 50 years old. They don't make them like this anymore.

Lovely, well made video. But-it’s not Blu-Cher. It’s pronounced Blu-Ker. The CH is hard like a K. It’s named after a Prussian general who fought Napoleon.

Oak Bark Leather Sole Or JR Leather Sole Could Have Been Much Better On The Bottom Of The Shoe, To Make The Shoe Classic And Elegant Than The Rubber Sole. In My Own Opinion.

I am a us 10d what size would i be in a vintage florsheim?

[@WeltedWare]

they run true to size, so a 10D would work great for you in my opinion. I go between a 10D and 10.5 D also works for me FYI
