Well i don´t really know. From the color combination are his shoes like golf shoes, but Zoot Suit riots don´t wear golf shoes. Here I have some pics, making the decision easier. spectators:  I bought me some last weekent on ebay. golf shoes:  This one I have, but they are a few years old and I need new ones. |

It's gotta be spectators. I don't see why they wouldn't come in other color combinations... so why not have the colors reversed like Greasy's?
Or maybe he wears wingtips... they're pretty similar.

Yes, that´s right, but I never saw spectators with white tips, they are always black and white just in the middle. That made me wonder. I tried to get those shoes he wears, but never found them anywhere.

I know I've seen shoes like them, with the black in the middle, but none with the same straight band shape of black going around it. Usually they have some sort of point like the tip of a heart. I think those are wingtips... I'll see if I can find any pictures. Or maybe the people who designed him were taking artistic liberties? Okay, here's at the very least an advertisement of brown-and-white ones, apparently c. 1940: pro.corbis.com/images/LW001199.jpg?size=67&uid=%7B92CA4301-815C-4610-B167-19EB01DE3C8A%7DThat's pretty close. At least it proves such things exist! |

Spectators, for sure. If it was golf shoes, those little things on the soles of the shoes would keep getting stuck on the ground. ;D

Greasy dancing? Hehe, well and in the next minute he runs against the next wall.
He´s a shlemiel, and if he don´t do something like this, he walks on the foot of the lady hi dances with.

Lol my cousin gave me shoes just like his except brown. But they have more rubber at the bottom, so I'm nearly an inch taller with them on. I used to wear them a lot and people would either be fascinated or think I had a fashion problem. But I sopped once I bought some Doc Martens.
