Re: Dexter...
Shame. I think for a while they were imported from the US into England via Sweden - For no very clear reason.

Re: Dexter...
I had a pair of Dexters many years ago, they felt like they were moulded around my feet. My good lady wife suggested that I replace them as they were getting rather tatty.
I listened to her.
Mmmm.....

Re: Dexter...
You can read about Dexters history here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Alfond
The only Swedish connection is that Dexter was a major brand here. In every shoeshop all over the country you could be sure to find Dexter beefrolls, a very welcome alternative to the horrible shoes of the 80's and 90's. Not any longer sadly tough you can still find nice US made deadstock in some old shops.

Re: Dexter...
They did a nice dirty buck. Jeff Garrett sold me a pair for next to nothing. I think maybe they'd been part of a window display. I wear them sparingly as the red brick sole is wearing down. Never see their like again.
