Former Foreign Service Officer -
I have purchased and worn the Richfield style (or a style similar) in the
Florsheim brand for most of my adult life. My career was in the foreign service and as a consequence, I spent most of my life abroad. As a result, I was in the habit of buying several pairs of this shoe at the same time. Since my retirement, I have not been able to find in the Washington,
DC area the
Florsheim stores or shoe brand to which I have been accustomed. I am therefore about to try for the first time buying a pair of shoes through a mail order system. I am a bit hesistant because I have a narrow, enlongated foot and have found it difficult to find shoes that fit. However, because I found the
Florsheim shoe in this style so comfortable for so many years, I am prepared to try.
