Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
I have another game of ‘guess the mystery English shoe maker’, I really have no idea on these at all. Any ideas on age, maker or anything would be greatly appreciated! These are another FB marketplace e-thrift - $20cad (+20 for trees). NOS women’s shoes, nailed heels, closed channel stitching...- Steppin'Out

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
Slightly outside of the realm of ‘men’s vintage shoes’.... I’m looking to buy my partner some high quality dress shoes, preferably loafers but finding it pretty difficult! Does anyone have any recommendations on vintage women’s shoes? Looking for slightly more masculine e.g not heels etc...- Steppin'Out

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
PNWer here with many pairs of leather-soled shoes. I have some pairs without leather soles that I use if I'm out for a long time in the rain but usually don't really have an issue. I tend to put shoe trees in the moment I get in and rest the shoes on their side so the soles can dry out in the...- Steppin'Out

Not my listing but some vintage Stacy Adams boots for $32 on Poshmark. 8.5, my size but not my colour and not in Canada. My partner would kill me for buying 3 pairs of shoes in a week. The soles look like they have had light wear and they definitely need a condition but a cool boot for sure...- Steppin'Out

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
The FB marketplace gods have been in my favour this week - a pair of Aldens and a pair of Trickers, both worn less than a handful of times, for $80cad each. Different sellers and the Trickers seller really had them listed as ‘Mens We don’t see a lot of Trickers around here and while these...- Steppin'Out

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
They aren’t labelled as Grenson but were sold as such. I got in touch with Grenson but they were even less helpful than I had imagined. I think they were confused why anyone would care. ‘British Isles Collection LTD’ - probably a North American store using an English maker, I’d bet Grenson or...- Steppin'Out

It’s been a while since I’ve been here, thought you might appreciate these boots! Grenson boots, made in England, no real idea of their vintage but very well made. Especially in comparison to what I’ve seen of theirs in stores lately. Dressing up to work from home, there is only so much I can...- Steppin'Out

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
it’s been a while since I’ve posted in here but I still lurk often. I just got these boots on eBay, this is them after a condition and clear coat polish. Completely changed colour and got much more red - very happy with how they turned out. I can’t find any information about the shoes or...- Steppin'Out

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
They are ‘Hunter Boot co’ only shoe of theirs I’ve seen, picked up for $38 in a thrift store that I’ve never found anything in before, not cheap but I thought they may have been shell and worth the flip. Size 11.5 so way too big for me. I’m in west van, moving in to the west end in downtown...- Steppin'Out

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
Been away from here for a little while, always nice to see this thread going strong. I picked up these boots, not particularly vintage, but about 9/10 years old I think. I was hoping to get some opinions on the leather used. It doesn’t seem like calf, there is no creasing and when you apply...- Steppin'Out

Ah okay, thank you for the width info. I was unsure about widths as I wasn’t really aware of dress shoe sizing when I lived in the UK. I’m a 7/7.5uk and 8/8.5us, so that makes sense!- Steppin'Out

They’re 11F, which I think is UK sizing so would be 12E in US, I believe.- Steppin'Out

This weeks Salvation Army find was some Crockett & Jones for $18, I was hoping to give them to my partners 15 y/o brother as his first ‘proper’ shoes but they don’t fit. Will likely sell them on I guess!- Steppin'Out

I have been away from here a while, just wanted to see if any of my Canadian friends had seen the new Etsy store (not mine) ‘Canadian Vintage Shoes’ and bought from them? Sorry if this has already been posted. Some great shoes in there and I’m really trying to not buy any!!- Steppin'Out

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
I'm a big fan of the roll on jeans and cuff on dress pants. I feel like it helps the drape on the pairs of dress pants I have them on - maybe that's in my head but it seems to add structure. On jeans, I like the colour break at the bottom when paired with good socks and shoes I think it adds...- Steppin'Out
