Guest Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 These amazing vintage shoes were given to me by an original skin head never worn leather sole and upper size 7 (and the only reason i am selling these shoes is that there to small for me) Made by Kingsway I am looking for £60.00 ono including postage thanks
Petedillon Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Now correct me if I'm wrong and call me a dummy!!! But I was a skinhead, then suedehead prior to getting into 'all-nighters etc' in the late 60's and dont recall anybody wearing anything remotely similar to these! What part of the country was this guy from? Not trying to be arsey just cant remember these ..maybe they were from the early 70's tank-top era??

You're right...They're from that period but aren't skinhead or suedehead shoes
Pete S Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 I cant see a picture They are kind of cherry red leather shoes with a solatio like pattern on the front and huge wooden souls with built up heels I think
Guest MrC Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 They are kind of cherry red leather shoes with a solatio like pattern on the front and huge wooden souls with built up heels I think Sound like a pair I had around '75!
Pete S Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Sound like a pair I had around '75! That's what I thought, though more like an 'Andy Whatmore' style, to go with his Starsky & Hutch cardy
Shinehead Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) I remember them stack heels they were called i had a pair around 1973, went from been a skinhead to a suedehead to been a dickhead . Edited November 2, 2011 by shinehead
old but nimble Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 I was into fashion in a big way in the 70s, the only ones the skins and suedes would wear that look remotely like them are the solatio pattern with leather souls and uppers
Guest Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 You're right...They're from that period but aren't skinhead or suedehead shoes No, they are not...I had a pair very similar in colour and style to these in 1974, worn under baggies with a feathercut haircut (Mishmash of Stewart/Bowie ), ripped jumpers etc and the reason they were popular really with young teenagers was they gave you an extra couple of inches when you were attempting to get served in pubs which, admittedly was a lot easier in those days...

By 'that period' I mean the 70's
Guest Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 By 'that period' I mean the 70's I know you do...My 'No' is acknowledging your 'arn't skinhead or suedehead shoes, mind you I can see NODDY HOLDER or any of your boys sporting these...
