    Would you happen to know if there is a photo anywhere of an antique brass colored shoe? I'm curious as to how it would compare to a 93602 and/or a GH.

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    I don't know of this question has been asked of you before (I don't remember seeing the question asked here) but I was wondering if you ever had any of your shoes rebuilt/renewed and how difficult it was for a cobbler to complete? Or have you done most of the work yourself? Have you mostly dealt...

    Please forgive the slightly off topic post but the movement in that watch is probably a Swiss ETA 251.262 that has 27 jewels. It is one of the better quartz watch movements out there and is usually very accurate with a long battery life. I can't say I have ever heard of a Missoni watch though. I...

    I've wondered about this a bit in the past and I thought that neutral cream wax or more preferably neutral wax might do the trick. Any thoughts on using something like that?

    Beautiful shoes, and the stitch count per inch on the toe cap is amazing! Wear them in good health!

    Do my eyes deceive me or is the stitch count per inch as high as it looks? Those are very sharp looking shoes. It also amazes me how good some of these older shoes and styles look compared to today's shoes.

    Shoonoob, I have a pair of British Walkers in black that look brand new and I was happy for a bit until I started visiting here and found out that what I had was probably corrected grain leather also. My shoes seem to be of a lower grade of British Walkers than yours, with a nylon welt and...

    The transformation between the before and after photos is amazing! Your shoes look almost brand new! That shoe is a very sharp looking shoe.

    DapperAndy, I am going to buy your cream and paste polish in the near future because of the great reviews. (I have been lurking here and I am also on the vintage shoe forum.) However, I was wondering if you were going to at least make the neutral cream polish again. I have found that has worked...

    Just recently, I wore my black Thompson wholecuts (Blake stitched with a thin piece of leather over the outsole covering the stitches) to a wedding on New Years's Eve stepping on salt and a little slush. Afterwards, I wiped off the salt and looked at the outsole damage. I had some Tarrago dark...

    I just picked up a pair of 93602 2 weeks ago for what I thought was a good price/condition/size. I am rehabbing them right now and so far so good. A big thank you to everyone here for the excellent tips and knowledge. Also, since my last post I definitely understand now why Florsheim shoes are...

    I joined this forum recently because of this vintage shoe thread and it has been a very interesting read. I dipped my toes into vintage shoes a bit recently and bought 5 pairs from ebay: a pair of brown longwing Cavaliers, brown longwing Stuart McGuires, brown JC Penney longwings, tan C H...
