The Nordic — Character in Shoes

With its square front and rugged styling, the Nordic reflects its ancestry.  Adapted from a Norwegian Ski Boot — and the sensation of Continental Resorts —  Taylor-Made Craftsmen have added an unusual comfort.  Smart with flannels and all sports attire, it fits into any man’s wardrobe.

    Drooling.

    Thats a hell of a collection, but for me the white shoes with the big brown stitches and the blue suede jobbies with the insane punc-work take the cake.

    You’re a real dandy, bra.

    I like that the penny loafers are called ‘Norwegian Slippers’. I also cant help but think how fun the Norwegian kiltie shoes look. Many of the shoes are still available today, but what about all of those socks? What is the year of this Esquire…1930s?

      I too love a good kiltie. I don’t have the dates of the ads, but they certainly have that 1930s flavor.
