Description

The left/right Franklin is a great shoe for the middle-class/ shop owner. It is a lined shoe that only comes in smooth out. This is to help it keeps its shape ( No toe fall) show you have that extra bit of coin in your pocket.

It has a normal heel and is leather lined. The toe is slightly squared but not square enough to limit the style to pre-1735.  With a longish tongue, the Franklin is a good choice for the gentleman of means. To get a little snobbish, paint your heels red with vinyl paint.  Originally, that meant that you had been received at Court but it was widely imitated by all kinds of  fops and pretenders. See the film “Rob Roy. The latchets will accept a 1¼ to 1½ inch buckle. Sizes 7 to 15 in E width only.
