The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

that almost looks like an alden heel pad to me definitely does not look like an alden heel pad to me and wes.

damn i just got schooled.

Lol...Hey, I'm just as stumped as you are. I think I'm going to sleep on this one.

DM7 must have the thrift equivalent of the Contra code...he seems unbeatable.

He has the Bezerk Pack perpetually enabled.

Ok I feel super nerdy saying that!

For those not old enough to remember, it is a reference to that game Doom where the Bezerk pack allowed the said hero to become a nearly invincible punching machine .

Damn, Doom was a good game at the time albeit with a nigh on impossible difficulty!

Kinda, but the curve on the end isn't correct...neither were the numbers.. Ive never seen a foot bed like that one. The little notches are usually on the side, not on the end like that.

It looks similar to Bostonian but it is hard to be certain. I am by no means as versed in this as the rest of you are as well, so please correct me if I am wrong.

And here's the shell, these are the best pictures I could come up with, they cleaned up quite nicely if I do say so myself.

Just a guess, but it appears to be an 'S' at the end of the label, possibly Stacy Adams.
If true, they must be an old vintage pair when they were still quality shoes.
Study the 'S' and its font in the images below for comparison. (right-click - 'open in new window' to see full size images)

Hope this helps.

edit.....wait....there seems to be the letter C or G before the S....oh well.

Picked up some florsheim imperials today... did I strike cordovan? Blacks an odd color, but the valleys check out to me...

Brand friggin new Ecco Track II Gore-tex SZ 12 available

I'd be all over these if I hadn't just found the exact same boot (actually 13's) in the same condition last week. Bet you paid a fraction of what I did though.

Actually I was thinking that as a possibility, just waiting to see some more pics.

eazye, can you snap a few more pics of the insole where the company name would be, preferably without direct light? Although it probably wont work, I have an idea....

The mystery shells could have been made by who-knows-whom for a men's store and had a heel pad with the store's logo on it. I've seen that a couple of times - I know Alden has done it for a long time, and I think Hanover may have done so too. I'm sure other makers did.
