MEN'S NEW GOLF SHOES

LONDON, October 12. Brighter shoes for men are a feature of the Shoe Leather Fair. A well-dressed golfer must wear shoes toning with his plus-fours, whether thej\be powder blue or canary. Walking and sports models are shown in royal blue and navy. Spike-pointed footwear in black and white checks and crimson, and patent shoes inlaid with pink snakeskin are exhibited. Another bad year is coming for reptiles, especially Java lizards, pythons, and iguanas. Women are demanding more reptile skin shoes. Python shoes are tho most expensive, retailing at £5 5/. Pointed toes and Louie Quinze heels are completely out of fashion, the prevailing type of woman's shoe having one bar, with button at the side, and no toecap. Kaffir brown is the predominant note for winter walking shoes. Satins and velvets, with brocades, tinsels, and even crepe do chine, are the mode for evening wear. Silver and gold kids are forecast as favourites. There are novelties in rubber Wellingtons, with shaped heels, in all colours. Shoes made of Australian sharkskin arc priced at £6 10/. The buyers are given a guarantee that the shoes will not crack, no matter how hardly they are worn.
