Oh, hai...

Can someone just confirm I should not be running back to swipe up these 11.5 G shoes? They have all that pretty handwritten-y handwriting, but still...

Also found this vintage CBS covers the Masters sweater, will sell for US $1million... :teach:

Why the hell did you leave them in the first place? Go back and get them. Unless they're glued crap, which is unlikely.

What, really? They're size G! And they just struck me as crappy shoes. I was wondering if maybe this dude had to go bespoke out of necessity...or...do you recognize the scribbling? Are they a decent brand?

If those are European, then G is probably closer to a US E.

Stopped by the spot that I found the giant shoes. Found my first Corneliani in the wild! Nice sized moth holes on the back

ISAIA diffusion? Confusion. Orphan 3/2 dual vent...


Does this Magli taste real?





Figured maybe I could bring the Magli's back from the brink, and they fit like a glove.

For the price, I figured I'd bring the Magli's back from the brink, they fit perfectly.

Those are Church's Chetwynd. Very nice shoes indeed. They appear to be an older model on the now discontinued 100 last (current model is on 173 last).

Short version of my drawn out post that apparently the forum "lost" while posting...

Vas es das...Legit? Orphan 3/2 dual vent quarter lined.


These fit like a glove but I didn't cop em, thinking of heading back if they're legit, just to see how much they can be cleaned up.






Also saw vintage Pendleton shirts literally chained to the rack for $30/piece... Gotta go back to grab the Filson shirt I forgot about.

G stands for E in UK sizing. Old Chetwynds were great shoes and ran a little narrow in my opinion. So this is really a US 12 D in my opinion. Their leather is really plasticky so that may be why you did not like them. New 500 bucks. They shine great and last, and last, and last. Got two :)

Whew, thanks, guys! Quickest thrift trip ever. I was able to grab the shoes, and they're in good shape. The laces threw me off: dingy, unimpressive, loose cotton-y things.

Available for cheeeep. :devil:
