The Seasons change - Spring and Summer simply fade away. So it is comforting to reflect that there is no hibernation in the realms of Fashion. Autumn and Winter styles have all the verve and interest of a new season, clearly indicated by the shoe designs now in evidence at Collinsons.
A modern short-shape effect in brown 'Thicket' suede calf, with welted sole and low heel embodying the new protective 'Mudguard' golosh. Also in navy blue. Price 31/6
Modern in design, this shoe reflects to-day's fashion trend in a quiet and dignified manner. With its welted sole and moderate height of heel it supplies a perfect finish to an Autumn ensemble. In brown or navy suede with calf strappings, also in black suede with patent strappings. Price 32/6
