Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

[Satoman1]

I just bought this pair of Stetson from an online seller, first vintage pair after like 3 months of find nothing. Anyone have idea about their making date? I feel like its from 40 or 50s

Picked up these vintage Florsheims for a $10 bill.

Here's one of my favorite pairs. These are 1940s Stetson white and dark blue spectators.

Here is another unworn pair. These are 1956 Nettletons in kangaroo with an unusual wingtip design.
