The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread

[barutanseijin]

Nice loafers. How do you like Lactae Hevea Aspen soles? I've been eyeing Rancourt's beefroll LH loafers. Would love shell version if they still offer opportunity to MTO/custom order.

Edit: I spotted these Venetians too late on Rancourt's Instagram. My size was already sold out when I checked the website

Thanks! I ordered within minutes of getting the email and as soon as i put in my order, my size was greyed out. I’ve been hunting Florsheim Yumas for years and never seen my size. (Except on the vintage shoe thread where there’s a guy with multiple pairs.) I figured these would be a decent approximation.

I have a pair of Rancourt Ranger mocs with the LH sole and enjoy the comfort. It’s not the most durable on city sidewalks, but my bad knee loves them anyway.

I don’t know what it is, but I always enjoy seeing the vintage Florsheims on here.

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

"They don't make them like that anymore." This saying is especially true when it comes to dress shoes that were made in the USA. In prior decades US had numerous dress shoe brands that included lines of excellent, classic and well built shoes. Nettleton, Hanover, Alden, Allen Edmonds...
