This is another American brand only known in vintage shoe community. In its heyday, Nettleton did not step into the top four brands, and its iconic model was just like every American brand at that time, Longwing. This pair is totally in another direction. Post Views: 1,539
Masegrove was an English shoe brand now defunct. It was rumored that at its later stage, it was made by Loake. Suddenly I feel Loake of yesterday is Crockett & Jones of today making shoes for many other brands. Post Views: 1,186
