So, it has been around four years since I picked up my first (and only) pair of G&Gs, and I just wanted to do a little photo update. If this does not show the worth of a good pair of shoes (with proper maintenance), then I do not know what will! They are still on their first sole, but I have worn them fairly frequently. At least a few times a month. They have been polished and conditioned after every wear. They are Grants on the TG73 last. Without a doubt the most comfortable pair of shoes I own.

[mrbrioni]

Look beautiful!

FOUR years old? That's amazing. Do you have taps at the heel and/or toe?

Great job and thanks for sharing!

Thanks bud! As a poor student, I have always tended to take care of my things .

Thanks a bunch.

No toe or heel taps, just the little plastic bit at the back. Now, mind, you, I do have the advantage of living in the south where I try my best to walk from air conditioned car to air conditioned office / building. But I am fairrrrly OCD. You can see some areas where I kicked the stairs though, scuffed them up, etc.

Really, it amazes me how great shoes look with good care. I swear by the elixir of the gods that is Renovateur.

Newcomer, those are exquisite! I love the look of worn leather though yours have been barely worn.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Anybody know why they crease by the big toe like that? Mine have the same crease and it bugs me a bit, sizing seems spot on. Thought it was cause I got a return but seem to see it quite a bit
