Raul at Master Shoe Repair did some more fine work.

I was trying to decide which shell pair to get resoled. He told me neither needed it - they only needed new heels, and the soles needed conditioning. So I did both pairs.

(I got the Florsheims on the left from thomas199023 back in 2019. I'd never been able to get them to hold a shine.)

110th anniversary AE Broadstreets. Have occasion to suit up today.

The belt was made by another shoe enthusiast who also does leather work for fun. I originally had it made to match my Golden Harvests.

Wow! Pre-1973 NOS Golden Harvest for $249. Such unicorns require no mulling. You should have held up a local liquor store after you pulled the trigger.

Almost 50 percent of all marriages in the United States will end in divorce or separation. NOS Golden Harvests are unicorns.
