I'll DM you. If the 8.5eee are in good condition and I keep, I'm happy to sell you the 9E. It'll be the SF friend's price

Thank you!

Bought these last fall, but I realized that I hadn’t posted about them yet.

NOS Florsheim 93602. Based on heel nail density, I’m guessing 1988.

Might be a museum shoe for a while (or forever haha)…

Here's a pair of 1970s French Shriner longwings that I'll be wearing if this snow ever melts.

Haven't seen those in a while! I still lament that I didn't pull the trigger on a similar pair before they were snatched up by someone else.

Here is one of my favorite unworn pairs. These are 1940s Connolly spectators in black suede and what I believe is embossed calf in a lizard print. Embossed leather was actually pretty common in the 1940s, and was not a sign of low quality like it is today.

Thanks for your kind words.

Here’s a few favorites.

The last being a custom Hickey-Freeman made for a man named Harold in 1988 (I found his obituary online and thank him when I wear it) that I turned into a double-breasted job by adding buttons.
