Dapper dresses don't often have the chance to purchase a pair of shoes such as these. Manufactured by Tecnic the daddy of the veldtshoen shoe makers these are a lightly worn pair  of heavy, built  like  a tank, veldtshoen walking shoes which  have been adapted for military purposes,  including a nailed and triple  leather sole with steel protectors for the heel and toe. These shoes are as tough as they come and with right care and attention will last you a lifetime.  The shoes are in excellent condition. 

They  are UK size 10  and measure 12cm across the widest outside  point  of the  sole and 32cm from toe to heel.

Tecnic ceased trading in the late 1980s  but despite  being over 40 years old,  this pair of oozes quality and rugged style. Such a find is rare and Tecnic veldschoens, especially those adapted for military use,  are much sought after by dapper dresses. 

My only word of caution is do not wear these shoes in a quite neighbourhood  as the noise of steel worked soles may wake up slumberers andf their napping  pets. 

Having said that these shoes are rare, in very good condition, and desirable for walkers. 

My cost of living crises busting buy it now price of £195  is a bargain for dapper dresses everywhere.
