The era’s trend returns to white and two tone dress shoes with washable white leather, white suede, and brushed leather. Styles include moc-front vamps, square toes, and woven or punctured leather in light to medium browns while maintaining comfort with modern leather soles and breathable finishes.
Casual shoes for men align with shorter work hours and leisure in the sixties. Slip-ons, blachers and moc fronts come in leathers from brushed to suede with elastic goring for easy wear. White leather dominates, with options in black, brown, and bold colors, plus padded leather soles and varied slip-on or lace styles.
Albany residents host relatives including Clyde McVey and Boyd Tackett from Athens Route 1 and Denver McVay, Cisco Williams, and John Williams family members.

Teenage girls favor curved heels and lustre leather pumps while little girls prefer slender shapes with oval toes in white and pastels.
