    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Most of the high priced comps are for vintage shirts. This one is modern, not sure if it’s valuable, but most of those higher priced comps aren’t relevant.

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    As humorous as I find the theories, there really is no great secret. I started collecting around 2013, and it’s just a matter of checking eBay frequently, being able to identify quality shoes, and being flexible on size.

    People often ask if Stacy Adams ever made really high quality shoes. They did, and this pair is an example. These are shell cordovan longwings complete with the original box and receipt dated March 31, 1964.

    They’re just a D width, I think it’s the shape of the last that makes them look wider.

    Here's another unworn pair from my collection. These are Nettleton kidskin cap toes. The box on this pair is dated 1950.

    Here's a pair I've been wearing recently. These are 1940s Cole Haan blue suede shoes. I'm still looking for some period appropriate blue laces.

    Thank you! I get lots of compliments on the bolder pairs from strangers. I do have a reputation around the office for having the fanciest shoes.

    Hoping for spring weather with these 1950s Florsheim ventilated wingtips.

    Yes, the label inside does look very midcentury, but I think it’s likely a carryover. The design and materials of the shoe are very 70s-early 80s.

    What makes you think 50s? They look a few decades later than that to me.

    Here's another unworn pair. These are Rand French toes c. 1950.

    Here's a fun pair. These are 1940s, sold at the CH Baker store. No maker tag, but I believe they were made by Nettleton.
