Love the Keglers! The front is an absolute dirt magnet though. Just remembered I have a pair too Wink

Is that suede on the front outsole? Or rubber?

Suedeish material anyway...

Academic guess - pigskin leather

Suede acording to The complete collector's guide.

I'd have guessed pigskin as opposed to suede too.

Yeah, I don't understand why they would do that. Like the suede on the front of the Forest Hills.

Good looking shoe, tho, man!

"The shoe was mainly designed for sportsmen who played a German nine pin bowling game known as Keglen. Another feature of the model was the reinforced toe box for extra durability as Keglen players often dragged their toes" Hence the use of suede less friction.

If you think suede on the front is mad wait until you see shoes with suede on the soles.

Great history lesson on the Keglers Erl...I had a few pairs of Kegs but hated that fact re: suede beneath the toebox...grass stains killed my 1st pair, and the pair above was a moment of pure insanity re: the ostrich leather/pattern...Kegs are super comfy though, and fit the foot well - at least mine Wink
