    B + M has a PTB order on Neocork, 270 antique welt and Barrie last. The Denali leather might be limited availability. I am eager to see photos. edit: I see now that Joe S already told us about this shoe order. Still can’t wait to see photos and receive my order.

    Another SU grad here. Still in the Syracuse area and enjoying the sweet 16 run. Don’t see many Aldens around town though. I love the socks.

    Yes, I am very eager to see the pair I ordered in person. Soon to be wearing suits and worsted trousers again. This shoe will be just the thing.

    Thanks for mapping that out for me. Some other interesting makeups there too. I will be driving up the New England coast in October, COVID permitting. That may be a good time to stop in their store.

    Thanks for your reply. I will check out LaRossa. A little more than a year ago you guided me to the Hampton last for oxfords and I am still appreciating that advice. I now have two pair of Alden oxfords that fit great and another pair on preorder.

    Can I ask what make up this is? I have been looking for Barrie or Hampton NST to fit my wide and high instep feet.

    Thanks for the info smfdoc. I own a nice pair of 93604s so I will pass on this pair of black shell.

    Is that a half sole or a Topy on the black shell Florsheim?

    Laces are a nice compliment to the contrast welt stitching. Looks sharp.

    Last week I took my 93605s to the nearby cobbler for heel lifts. He offered to do a leather lift with a “steel V tap” for $35. I hope this is not what he was talking about. I opted for the combination leather/rubber lift for $25. Pick them up tomorrow.

    I have a similar pair that are on the Kent last. Toe is a little more square than the 511 last used on current Leeds. Good looking shoes TC.

    Thanks for the heads up. Looks to be in good condition. I’ll study the listing some more as soon as I have time.

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    I appreciate your willingness to pass along any pairs that are not an acceptable fit for you. I have the same issues of wide foot and high instep. My 93602’s are 11 E and fit comfortably snug but the gap at the laces is wider than what I prefer. I love the shoes and won’t give them up until I...

    I was watching that pair but couldn’t get myself to pull the trigger. I also had concerns about the piping and the heels. With only two pair of vintage shoes I don’t have enough buying experience to come up with a value for the condition of shoes I’m looking at.

    @smfdoc - I was thinking that my AE Hopkinsons were the only black shoe that I needed but photos of your black LWB project are causing me to think otherwise.
