You don't know what a man-hat is? Pfft. I think you're in the wrong industry, bro.Originally Posted by Uncontrol
Well, I'm familiar with this kind of Man-hat. It's just more often named "Jimmy"

And while I'm complaining, I wish that I could go a day without hearing that something looks "gay." Even in brownstone Brooklyn, we're not immune to wandering bro's and their boring-as-**** significant others who deem any shorts without cargo pockets which hemmed higher than ankle length to be "gay."Originally Posted by Epaulet
As if "gay" is a look. I know gay guys who dress well and keep themselves in excellent shape. I also know some who look like Larry the Cable Guy and dress like a 1998 Old Navy mannequin. I'd say that both sexual orientations have equal propensity to look good or look like complete slobs.
I would submit to you that Liberace, Elton John, and RuPaul all look unmistakeably gay. Or at least ethnic.

It has nothing to do with the restaurant being Indian. You could drop salsa, salad dressing - or anything else - on your shoes.Originally Posted by mkarim
Salad dressing, yes. Not so salsa. And even in the case of greasy foods, you can blot most of it out, or use a very mild solvent to get it out (note that this is for expert use only, and that you'll probably need to treat the leather afterwards to keep it from drying out.)
The problem with curries is that the spices used are actually used to dye fabrics in certain cases. And you mix that with an oil base, and you have a potent stain indeed. I use an Amway stain remover that is better than anything available in stores. My mother-in-law introduced me, and I can't go back to anything else. The older, concentrated stuff could remove any stain I threw at it. The newer, more eco friendly stuff is a little less potent, and I've had to treat things multiple times. In conclusion, they don't make things like they used to.

This is what people are missing. This ain't no ordinary stain. The stuff I have been using to clean it so far, if I'm not careful, will actually strip the colour from the cap of the shoe (as I found when it did so on a 1mm spot, luckily not visible) without doing anything to the stain on the sole.
I am going to see if I can fade the spots on the grey part with hy-po to the point where they're not noticeable from 5 feet and maybe use white nail polish or something the cover stains on the white part. Not a perfect solution but shouldn't be visible.
By the way magic eraser works great on normal stains and dinginess on the old sole / cp sole. Tried it on my other Lanvins, much whiter and I didn't have to scrub too much.

the parts on the captoes doesnt seem that noticeable. i would just bleach/nailpolish/whatever the soles and not worry about the toe part.

What I would do is set up a proxy email account to some dodgy account and eBay those things without really showing pictures of the damage, I would then yank the money out of the account ASAP and never look back

^ Don't let lack of quality discourage you: fakes these days are often on par with the real deal.
