Corey Hiltz added toe taps, sole protectors, and grommets. I'm starting a 3 day course (yep, during Mothers Day weekend) so gotta dress to...- suitforcourt

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
My personal opinion is that NST is very casual looking. Have I worn them with suits? Absolutely. My understanding is that LWBs were originally casual but I think they're accepted as dress shoes now. At least I consider them dressy. I also have a pair of NSTs in brown, which makes them perfect...- suitforcourt

I bought these NSTs in really poor condition. Dan Frappier gave them a full treatment. Leather re-dyed, new footbeds, double JR soles, toe taps, cat paw heels, grommets, and French bindings.- suitforcourt

May the 4th be with you. Appropriately my Stormtrooper watch is ready. And some splash of spring colours for a warm day. These vintage Florsheim 97626s were rebuilt by Gary Coakley with "the K package" - JR soles, toe taps, grommets, and cat paw heels.- suitforcourt

Awesome find. Definitely not NOS. The soles were rebuilt at some point. Most telling, the original stitches were not properly removed from the welt. That said, I think you did well. John McHale are just pure awesome. Best tanks ever.- suitforcourt

You forgot about them - they're fine. You want to wear them? They're cool with that. You want to rebuild them? Your decision. You...- suitforcourt

110th anniversary AE Broadstreets. Have occasion to suit up today. The belt was made by another shoe enthusiast who also does leather work for fun. I originally had it made to match my Golden Harvests.- suitforcourt
