    You sure those cleats are flush to the edge? Looks inset to me.

    Some boring black Aristocrafts in need of a polish. Training day in boots tomorrow so I'm hitting Wingtip Wednesday early. Great job on the '605s Stook! I've wrecked a couple pairs of vintage shells being impatient. Let em sit for a few days and condition again. Then sit em another day. They...

    Uneven colorwise or texturally? The chili always seems to pull differently in the layers of the heel stack and on the wwlt and sole edge because there is different density. With dainite you should get an even color on the welt. What has worked for me: Sand it with 240 to 400 to 800, hit it with...

    Purple plain toe Thursday? Some improved LBSheppards for your viewing pleasure. Perhaps not for everyone but they are my favorite redux.

    You did not know better back then. He has been counseled and cannot use that. You and I both have wide feet so that doesn't work either. He wears $700 puffy coats so he can afford new shoes. Yes, I am judging. I am personally offended by the continued existence of those bricks. HR should speak...

    Boycotted wingtip Wednesday and wore Strands today. Look at the fuckery in my office. These are "dress shoes" a guy keeps at his desk. Edit: I wasn't snooping, he left the box open like that. I've converted a few coworkers to vintage or AE but some people are beyond help.

    I stopped at 240 grit for the sanding because I wanted nubuck. I'm thinking go up to 400, 800, and 1500 grit after getting down to the raw leather. Dye, condition, cream polish then wax. Should make them smooth calf again in the new color. Unless its a shoe that can only be found in black, or...

    I was 30 pages behind... so a late response. I felt it needed a response. Please just call the game "bags"

    Since fall weather refuses to arrive I'm getting in another rotation for the spectatorized Royal Imperials. I like them more every time I wear them. Gonna be a JR recraft when the time comes. Have a good day gentlemen.

    Picture tells a story. At a dinner banquet for Mrs Shoonoob's work. Some lady fell out in the lobby and I'm standing out front with the fire truck lights reflecting off my gray trousers. Apparently I ate too much because that's not where the hemline on my pants started the evening. Lady is ok...

    Stuck in a car all day catching up on the threads with no TS2 purchases to look forward to. I really need one these in every color. And perhaps another full set with buff welt and double JR for summer.

    My thoughts about the shell sale at the end of 2018. They wanted to quickly increase shell production to evaluate their people and decide who was making shoes for TS2019.1 Whomever made my PAs did not make the cut for TS production. Next time I'm going to be near a store I will bring them in for...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2019 - News, Pictures, Clothing, Accessories, etc.

    I was going to agree with you because last wear was a couple miles of walking in Chicago. Upon closer inspection the welt has no dings and what looked like the uppers separating was just the tops of the welt stitching picking up highlights. The whole side of the sole wants to split. Prehaps a...

    Ignore the poor quality of the shell and the water spots. Got caught in a rain shower last time I wore them...they did not get significantly wet. Got these PA's on the 2018 December sale and they have 10 wears at most. How do we feel about the sole separation? AE problem or Shoonoob problem?

    Those are simply a terrible disgrace and should be sent away immediately! I'll PM you my address.

    @BFT9000 has the most glorious Strand collection I have seen. Go search images from his posts on the AE thread. I think he is somewhere around 50 pair.
