My goal was to find shoes that resembled those of the late Shemp Howard and since they were similar enough I placed an order. While not exactly, these slip-ons did not disappoint and reminded me of a shoe that has stood up to the full array of Stooge antics. Especially the older Howard brothers. Thank you Mr. Bourne for doing what must have been your intention to change an almost forgotten style. Semper Stoogalorum.
