I have four pairs. I think theyve been repaired four or five times. The local shoe repair guy said Florsheim Imperials would last forever. Sounds like what the shoe repair guy told me about my early '70s Bostonian wing tips. I still have three pair from back then - two black, one cordovan. Quality shoes are fast becoming a scarce commodity.

One manufacturer, possibly Bostonian, sold a very nice looking black or deep cordovan oxblood wingtip made from some kind of man made material in the early 70’s.
A buddy had a pair of these, which we referred to as “plastic fantastic wingtips.”
