JM Weston 579 Giscard Medallion Perf Cap Toe BoxCalf Semi Brogue UK 9.5 US 10.5

From JM Weston:

"Valéry Giscard d'Estaing was still Minister of Finance when he bought his first flowered straight-end derby, a 579 Bunting model that, internally, became the Giscard".

***************

Classic 579 “Giscard” semi brogue from renowned French maker JM Weston (which has shod French presidents for over 50 years) in very good pre-owned condition. Some creasing across the vamp from normal wear. Some heel drag but in overall great shape for their age!

Some cool details. Note the handmade “W” chevillage on the sole (photo 15).

Sadly this style is no longer in the Weston catalogue so chances to own a pair of these elegant balmoral derbies are few and far between.

Please examine photos carefully before purchasing.

Thanks for looking!
