Sally Green Latchet Shoes

[Ivan Henry aka Moose]

Hello! It's my first post!

Like many other folks I've read about, I'm looking for a good pair of shoes. I've spent hours reading the threads here, but I have yet to see an opinion or subject relating to Sally Green's closed latchet shoes. http://www.sallygreen.co.uk/pics/17-latchet.gif

Everything I have researched looks like the black closed latches would be fine for 1700-oh, say 1715 or 1720. I am planning on ordering a pair from Loyalist Arms, but I need a pair during the 4-6 month wait. Would these work or would I be better off ordering a pair of the pleather kicks I've seen that are not quite right, but inexpensive.

Thanks

Firstly welcome to the pub.

Those are nice and the price isn't bad either. I can honestly say I have heard nothing on her shoes. As for them being right for the period I think they'd be close but I will truthfully say I am no expert.

You might also wish to check out the shoes here as they are also pretty reasonably priced.(style S3 to be exact)

Thanks! I have checked out S3 as well - just having communication issues with them (they say they are having problems reading my e-mail. ?
