    Super. I think this is the most vintage AE ownership we have seen on here.

    Nice. Browsing her store was worth the extra click.

    US 7 E. It is actually silver instead of white. It was a 15 minute job using an oil-based metallic silver paint pen.

    Just pulled the NOS Florsheim black shell cordovan out from the closet storage. Then some quick wipe and brush.

    Even though I like these for some fun, I don't think I will be wearing these modified Florsheim any time soon. So I will test to see if there's any interest out there.

    David's got a interesting 1930s shoe for sale in my size. I am tempted and will watch how high these bids. Described as kidskin. Is that young kangaroos? @davidVC , any interesting provenance tidbits on these shoes?

    Dacks and other Canadian shoe brands

    I am also a rare 570 from the sixties. :) Will you posting them up for sale?

    I like the styles of both of those. If they are just a little tight, it is so easy to stretch them to get to a comfortable fit. I think you should try if you like the styles. They aren't as easy to find as LWBs and PTBs.

    It is just the classic Florsheim LWB - just dyed over to darker brown. The trick part is the one wouldn't guess for the most common.

    No. It is a US manufacturer.
