Sturdy Walkover Brand Wing Tips

September 30, 2005 12:37 PM

All my life I've worn sturdy, Walkover brand wing tips. They wear like tanks. Now my shoe salesman tells me the company has gone out of business.

Obviously I've exhausted web-based options for finding this information. Is it possible to get Walkover brogans anywhere anymore? Did I just dream these great shoes?

It has been years since I've seen Walkovers for sale.

I can heartily recommend Florsheim Imperial wingtips, however. (The link is to Zappos, but you can find these all over the place for circa USD $225 a pair.) I have one pair that is over 20 years old and has been resoled and had new heels put on about three times now; they are incredibly comfortable; the uppers still look great and take a beautiful shine, and they wear like iron.
