I got my Alden 990 thrifted shoes back from the cobbler. He resoled them and installed metal eyelets on the inside for the laces. I'm happy with the results!- slimjohnil6

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
Final polish on the Alden 990 shoes - I had trouble with the the left shoe (on the right in photo) with the 'tiger stripes' - I worked at it for a while w/ Renomat but was afraid to damage the leather, so I stopped after a few rounds. Still, not a bad end product for the $7.99 thrift. Probably...- slimjohnil6

They're Alden 990s.... color is significantly lighter due to all the cleaning. I'll use some Saphir cordovan cream to bring them back to their original color #8. Here's what they looked like after the initial cleaning.- slimjohnil6

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
Cheap thrift store find - Alden Shell Cordovan 8.5 E. Other heel reads "Tom Austin Biltmore Hotel" - so I think this was a specialty shoe store at one point. Pretty rough looking at first, but they cleaned up a little with some saddle soap and then some AE shoe cream. One thin coat of Venetian...- slimjohnil6

Hoping one of you gentlemen could offer a suggestion on shipping a pair of shoes from Canada to The Netherlands- (Holland). Would you just use Canada Post or another shipping service? Thanks....- slimjohnil6
