<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 60791, member: 29"]I have a couple of handmade couture pieces made for Ma in the 40s. They're still wonderful, wearable and in almost perfect condition. Pa, who earned not a lot, used to buy Loakes and Church's shoes, as he had one leg much shorter than the other, and they were the only comfortable shoes. (Monte Cassino, 1943, landmine.) But, those shoes, polished daily and repaired properly lasted literally decades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
