Original pair
I actually bought it in St. Louis.
Made from thick, textured grain leather.
It clearly exuded an aura that set it apart from the others.
Manufactured by Johnston & Murphy and Bostonian, among others.
It appears they outsourced the work to several manufacturers.
I had very little information.
I did a little research.
Full brogue
medallion
With an extra-thick midsole
It has a considerable weight to it.
The edges are also wide.
The lining is all leather.
The heels are nailed V-CLEAT
Size indications are
7 1/2D
It gives the impression of being a little on the larger side.
It measures approximately 26cm in actual size.
I think these are quite rare shoes.

CONDITION
It is in good condition with no noticeable damage.
Heel wear, slight deformation around the opening.
(I couldn't get it ready in time for the photo shoot, but I think it will regain its shape if you put shoe trees or newspaper inside for a long time.)
