Watson Shoes of South Africa have been responsible for Speedy Duck Footwear. You may find on their website an article that states...
"A somewhat dormant brand over recent seasons, Speedy Duck has hit the market with great fanfare after several requests from loyal consumers.
Speedy Duck is the new-direction range of footwear catering to the youth and young-at-heart market.
Recent styling has focused on casual yet trendy footwear of superior quality. The finest leather uppers, interesting silhouettes and innovative soling has all come together to create exciting, functional assortments.
Traditionally of the Moccasin type, Speedy Duck now includes up-to-date boat shoe styling, radical outdoor lace-ups and transitional weekend footwear.
Selected styling for Summer 2009 will ignite the same excitement as those that were launched in Summer 2008. Watch this space!"
Well, that was then. My Gran used to wear them and passed them onto my mother when she bought new ones. Now I want them!
