    Frye Natural Vegetable Tanned Longwings! (James) - 9D

    Up for grabs is a really interesting pair of shoes, they're made by Frye, and while they're not US-made, I gotta say that these are pretty great quality! The leather is natural, veggie tanned, so it's got the hue that many denim enthusiasts favor. I haven't worn them more than 5 times, but...

    BRAND NEW - Meermin Double Monks, Dark Brown, UK 8.5

    Save some money and buy my Meermin Double Monks! Don't pay shipping costs from Europe :slayer: I bought these a long time ago and got the wrong size and never got around to returning them, so make my loss your gain! You know the details on these, and they're available here...

    ALDEN UNLINED Blue Suede Dover/PTB {US 8.5D - Barrie Last, Oiled Flex Welt}

    Looking to sell my Alden Dover's, they are similar to PTBs - they are unlined so they are unbelievably supple and comfortable (ask anyone that owns a pair of unlined Alden's) - single oiled flex welt sole for an almost sneaker-like feel from Alden's and the previous owner had them Topy'd but...

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    Trying out GlenKaren's Burgundy Shoe Polish and High Polish products. The high polish is awesome, seriously. I'm a total noob at calfskin care and I was able to get a pretty great shine first try :slayer: However, do have some questions about what I'm supposed to do with the right shoe as it...

    Why don't you throw a picture up here - I don't know what H404's are. Assuming you're not talking about the Kudu Indy's are you? B. Nelson can do rubber (by Vibram) soles on goodyear welted shoes for $60 + s/h. (I'm gonna assume that yours are goodyear welted, since nearly all Alden...

     Thank you and everyone else for the kind comments. I had originally wanted to try this myself but... the cobbler offered to do it for free, so why not? :)

     They certainly will - I've dealt with that issue before. I currently have an outstanding order for those same boots @ 50% off lol :nodding:

    BlackLapel.com - any experience with them?

    BlackLapel is awful, I'd avoid them at any cost - speaking from experience and friends who've used their service, I can't believe we even wasted our time and money on this garbage (sorry if I'm being too harsh). Seriously, it was not great and I was not satisfied, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone...

     Haha figured people would say that - yeah I took them off because they were really floppy, any idea how I might be able to get them stiffened up again? The purple is a little funky :nodding: but I'm feeling happy so why not? Haha :)

    Someone requested a better photo, here's my crappy attempt with a cell phone. J&M purple laces on Alden 975 (Color 8 LWB), edgetrim converted to antique-look.

    Just got my shoes back from the cobbler - bought these guys from our beloved YouTube-using mediahound. I had a thin topy put on and had the edgetrim changed to match my Marlows :slayer:
