My shoes were caught in a storm. When I got home I filled them with tissue paper and let them sit out to dry. The next day I noticed a crack in the sole (which is already pretty thin). What can I do? Does this mean I should resole them? These are Allen Edmonds Cliftons and it's not the first time they've been caught in the rain (maybe 3 times before). I bought them lightly used about a year ago.
I've checked a bespoke maker's window at night in Florence right after I have arrived with the light of my mobile phone and I've seen an almost finished badass laofer of mine.

Why don't you train your shoemaker to send you photographs to keep you informed of the progress.
Then you don't have to flatten your nose on a shop window.
Just received this picture of my next pair today - the shoes will be ready later this week.

Bad ass loafers? Is that like bad ass Fiat?

Like the look of the last, not crazy about textured leather but knowing that this is probably your 89th pair of shoes, I'm sure you got the basics covered.
