Shoes With Character - Page 22

20+ yr old LL Bean camp mocs that my dad bought for me when I was in 8th grade: Soles are worn and there's some cracking on the sides, but in great shape otherwise:

^ do they still fit?!

Yep. They might've been a little big then, but I think my feet'd stopped growing already by 13/14.

Does Bean still offer resoling? Iirc, they used to advertise resoling services (for their mocs and penny loafers) in their catalogs years ago.

Various submittals to the thread
Nettleton Norwegian toe
Brooks Bros unlined shell loafer
Nettleton brogue
AE loafers(still available)
Florsheim Shell cordovan loafers

^Very nice. Any particular adv/disadvantages of lined vs. unlined shell loafers?
I'm not sure. Website says they'll resole boots.

I'm sure that opinions will vary on the issue but I was able to comfortably wear the lined double soled in cold weather unlike the unlined. The lined also felt more substantial on my feet. The single soled unlined is more slipper like at my weight of 238.

Makes sense. Thanks.

Barker Nairn in cedar grain - Probably too much of a country shoe for some members, but they work well with tweed jackets and cords:

**Okay how do I add an image rather a link?***

You need to host the image on Photobucket or other such site, then paste the IMG link here.

Dig those Barkers.
