Wilkes Bashford Men's Alligator Loafers

This is a vintage pair of Wilkes Bashford men's alligator shoes that I purchased 40 years ago! They have served me well. Now my arches are falling and I can no longer wear them comfortably. They have been very lovingly cared for and show some slight signs of age but overall in remarkable shape considering their age. They originally had tassels but I removed them after one particularly whiskey-soaked evening.
