It happens. If shell, brush the scuff out. If calf, polish it out.

it's shell.

so just keep brushing and it'll go away? good to know

If I get a scuff on something shell, I usually just wet my finger a little and with a few rubs the scuff is usually gone. A little buff with a soft cloth and it's like it never happened.

This has been my experience too. The finger works magic.

I would start with the king and then work yourself downwards

this model has already made a few appearances in this thread. unlined ptb in brown cxl from alden SF. i can't believe it took them so long to make this shoe, it's a no brainer to me

Spoiler: in more serious local seattle news...

there was a shoot out between a suspect and police this morning outside of my office building in downtown seattle. thankfully the only one critically injured was the suspect. a bus driver was also shot but he's expected to make a full recovery based on early reports. crazy way to start the week. crappy phone pic of the view

Alden finally cashed the check dated June 7 that I sent in with my shoes for recrafting, does that mean they will be on their way soon?

great shoe, love the unlined shell and all it's wrinkly glory. I gave it a shot but the D width barrie shoe just doesn't work for me.
