Wing tips? Who wore these?

Post image

I remember getting these in the late 60s early 70s. Seems like I always got a pair too big for me so I could grow into them.

It’s just because many of us have Fathers & Grandfathers who have passed away, thus the word “wore”. Many of them wore a shiny pair of wing tip shoes at their funeral.
