    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    Elegant. I mean like these. (NMS. Not my shoes, not my size, not my sale, not in my budget) https://www.ebay.com/itm/396094686689?mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&mkcid=1&campid=5338039091&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

    Split toes are more elegant than the gunboats. I’d love to find pairs in black and brown.

    That, and they were very popular. They made a lot of them.

    Could you get a couple of pics of the interior lining? How do they feel? Do you see the vertical tuft stitches I mentioned?

    A pair of vintage, brown, AE longwings recently sold on David’s watchlist. (Not mine). My limited experience with AE is that they have the most comfortable interiors. Would this be due to the vertical tufting stitches of their glove-leather lining?

    And the color. Not sure if the color is “cognac” or Me too, bro. I also have a black pair, with the slightly taller heels, like your squeaky brown pair🤘

    That’s a great look. The red socks work. I’m really diggin’ the trousers, though. Can you tell us about the trousers?

    How to soften/renew a can of kiwi black wax? I haven’t used it in about a year and a half. It’s pretty stiff.

    I love those. I notice your right foot is a wee bit bigger than your left. Normal. How do they feel?

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    On second thought, perhaps it would be best to double v-cleat all my brown pairs. A very good cobbler gave me a set of new cleats a few years ago. Is this something good cobblers might have sitting around? I haven't found any since. I'll check supply house websites. Anyway, it wouldn't be...

    Nice job. 👍 Back when, I would have used Brasso to polish the brass, but Brasso isn’t what it used to be, and I like the slightly tarnished look as well.
