**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
As you are all a fine bunch of bullers and polishers, I thought I'd let you in on an interesting trick that some other polishers use. The plastic baggie test. It's very simple. When you're polishing something smooth, your fingers have trouble discerning the true texture of the material...- mry8s

Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."
I have a tangentially related question for DWFII: What RTW shoes do you wear? I can't imagine you're wearing 100% DWFII branded boots and shoes, though I'd be hugely impressed if you did.- mry8s

A company that can eliminate defects and reduce rejects will save money over one that has many defects and rejects. Think about two AEs, one that produces flawless shoes and little to no rejects using almost the same techniques used now but with some improved process flow and another AE that is...- mry8s

Did they accidentally put black laces in the left?? I can't quite spot the defect.- mry8s

knobby running shoes. If you're not backpacking or carrying more than 15% of your body weight on your back, you don't need boots. You'll do better with something comfortable to walk in that you don't mind getting dirty, muddy, scraped up, or soaking wet. If you don't have any, some inexpensive...- mry8s

This is actually a misnomer. Swirl marks are "swirly" looking because of the way a light source reflects off them. They are primarily a huge matrix of fine linear scratches in all directions and you will most certianly still see swirls even if you wax your car in one direction. If you're...- mry8s

Was digging through old photos and ran across the time I tried on a McTavish at Nordstrom. I can't remember for the life of me what is on my right foot! This was April 2013. Maybe an Aberdeen? Can't see the sole and I just don't remember. Kind of wish I had bought them and not the McT's...- mry8s

I've got two wears in mine. One included a full day at the office plus a half mile to and from and the laces had zero issues. I had the brown in. Coincidentally I did get another pair of shoes (Gap 1969 canvas sneakers) tha tcame with extra laces of the same length. They're two-tone...- mry8s

The Allen Edmonds MTO Thread
I think #4 was more about how GMTOs happen. And the answer is: they sort of coalesce around common interests. Someone suggests something and if enough people are interested in something similar, then a GMTO starts to form. Usually there is some back and forth about specs and what some...- mry8s

The Allen Edmonds MTO Thread
What would you guys recommend for the speed hooks? Filing them seems to be less than ideal and definitely not very effective.. at least at my desk here at work. I'd almost rather just bond something to the three hooks backsides and never worry about it again.- mry8s
