DENSON SHOES
Some examples from the 1964 Denson Shoes range. The London-based company which is set to relaunch soon, was originally established in 1951 by D. Senker & Son Ltd at Kingsland Road E.2., later opening a second factory in Northamptonshire. Debuting with Brothel Creepers worn by Teddy Boys, the brand became much favoured by various other style subcultures over the next four decades, and was usually to be found advertised amongst the pages of popular teen magazines such as Rave, as well as the weekly music papers like the New Musical Express. The brand continued to be hugely popular until the 1980s, before eventually going out of business in 1987.
Fine Poynts and Fine Chisels set the fashion shoe scene
Here are the shoes with the top-fashion toe-shapes, in the latest lace-up and elastic-sided styles, as well as with concealed elastic sides. Some have Cuban heels, some have big, bold buckles, some combine the two. If you like zip-up sides, there's a Fine Poynt shoe that you're bound to go for. In Black leather or Brown shaded leather, and the latest shades in suede. 49/11 to 63/-. You can also choose from Fine Poynt, Fine Chisel or classic toe shapes in the Beat Boot range. From 69/11.
