Dacks and other Canadian shoe brands
I have hard time telling camel from oxhide and elephant -). The only exotic leather I can ID with a certainty is kudu and maybe "fighting seal" (though is this case I might confuse it with "shark"). I love Dack's for actually marking the materials on the insole.- Dit_rich

Today's pick. Almost pristine Florsheim (McHale??) made in Canada. For the leather I would guess camel.- Dit_rich

Darn, I would've jerked the price up if I new -)) LOL. I had my suspicions but the model # was absolutelly unreadable so I played it safe. In any case, I am happy they found a new home and are in good hands -)). Hm, now you made me wonder if the pair of Hanover saddle shoes I have - not for sale...- Dit_rich

That makes sense. I was quite confused how could Dacks & Brown manufacture shoes together... A bit unfair by Florsheim not to mark them as made in India. I could've missed it though.- Dit_rich

Just an interesting pair I saw this weekend. I didn't pick it up - have enough bluchers for a lifetime and the outsoles felt a bit soft even being double ones. Uppers though were nice, of a very soft pliable leather, thick too (like some expensive leather jackets almost). Never seen a sole stamp...- Dit_rich

This are just beautiful and NOS - never picked Dack's in such a condition :-). Might be glued/cemented, the insole is so tightly attached that I couldn't check for Blake stitching.- Dit_rich

Hi, Could somebody please help to ID this par? Fits me great. I could not left them behind but the only stamp on the insole - besides the size - is "A&N Fine leather Special"...- Dit_rich

That's must be why I could get my feet in - the length is good but they feel too tight because they are too narrow. Thank you!!!- Dit_rich

Wow, I though it was some kind of a buffalo or something simple :-) ... Size is unfortunately for me is 9. I managed to squeeze in mine 9.5 but it's too tight. So they are for cleaning and selling.- Dit_rich

Nothing really special but I thrifted these Dack's for $6 so it made me happy. Can somebody help me out with what kind of a leather this is (I am a sucker for exotic ones :))?- Dit_rich

Merry Christmas!! Not much can be seen on the soles because a previous owner had put very thick rubber covers on them (very practical thought and the did keep the soles in good condition). Size is apparently 9H - they fit me perfectly even though I usually can wear shoes in a range of 9.5...- Dit_rich

My fist day in beautiful Paramount shoes. Still don't know what they are. I am still betting on Cheaney made for a defunct brand. Though the side stamp is quite different. ..- Dit_rich

A couple of pairs thrifted today - finally!!! was like months. First pair is in a great shape and appears to be Cheaney for Eaton's Sanitized Royal Sceptre. The second one is heavily used/ loved of Custom Grade Paramount Shoes (hardly readable on the insole). Never heard of paramount? They look...- Dit_rich

Love these! Water bison in brown is really fantastic. I recently thrifted a pair (NOT my size :-( ) and would agree with you - this leather can take a beating.- Dit_rich
