Vintage inspired 1940s mens shoes and boots reflect the quality, durability, and sensibility of footwear during WWII and beyond. Oxfords, wingtips, brogues, and slip-on loafers were standard shoes for men in the forties. Popular colors were black, brown, white, and two-tones. 1940s men's work boots were all leather with lace, hooks, and a thick tread.
