    Any chance you could snap a pic or two of the damage? Maybe across different shoes and different style trees?

    I’m a shoe enthusiast and a long time lurker here. Mostly I enjoy coming to this and other forums in my evening downtime for some relaxation, learning and the occasional good natured humor around here. I have to say however @ShoeWho you have such an abrasive vibe that just sucks the goodness...

    Stretching my shoes - a true diary of torture

    I'm afraid you need a stronger stretcher than shoe trees. It really does take some pressure to get the leather fibers to stretch. Try one of the stretchers outlined in this thread. I've found good success with the wooden versions - it's worth the extra money. You should be able to get a good...

    Stretching my shoes - a true diary of torture

    I have a bunion on my right foot and must choose my shoes carefully to avoid discomfort after a long days wear. Some lasts are simply not for me. Given my chosen career however, dress shoes are a necessity and sleeker shoes can become especially uncomfortable later in the day. FWIW, i’ve had...

    Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."

    I just had a fantastic experience at Carreducker's 2 week Intensive Shoemaking Course in London. Deborah Carre and James Ducker have built a business on the right things. Besides making gorgeous shoes (bespoke and some RTW), they obviously enjoy sharing their knowledge and teaching newbies...

    What construction are these shoes

    Looks like Blake/stitchdown?

    Sorry but I want to better understand. Pre-stitched? Thanks.

    Thanks Mike. Definitely not Blake. Number of websites (including Shoemart) state GYW. Model is 1272S. Given the upper row of stitches what else could it be but norvegese? Whatever it is, it was a pleasant surprise.

    Took a flyer on some Shoemart seconds kudu chukkas. Love this greasy ass leather. I was surprised to see what looks like norvegese welting though. Pretty sure it's GYW but there's two rows of stitching on the welt. These are Cape Cod Collection. Anybody know more about this line? Does...

     As one who's been working in microbial control for quite a while, I am a bit skeptical here. Assuming proper intensity (bulb maintenance is important) and exposure time (needs at least an hour or two), UV radiation will kill microbes and this may work well for light surface fungal...

     Check out Enzo Bonafe. Saw a suede side zip GMTO through Solegarb for $625 on reddit/Goodyearwelt today. Looks nice and they're hand welted. I assume you could get a single MTO done through Solegarb for just under $700 if you have the time and parience to wait for delivery. Good luck

    Paul Sargent (formerly Alfred Sargent) Appreciation Thread

     It's just frustrating because there were other vendors with Cambridges on sale for Black Friday. If they had proper inventory control, we could have known they were out of stock and gone elsewhere for a good deal on the Cambridge. Granted, the Pediwear deal was the best I saw but I would...

     +1. Finest belts I own. The store in Buckhead (Atlanta) is a pleasure to visit (although I think they are moving or renovating currently).. SAs do a great job in customs. They recently made me a burgundy gator belt with silver tips and keepers that I can remove when I want to tone it...
