    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    Is wax bad? Working on a variety of shoes and it occurred to me ‘When they’re gone, they’re gone!’ Won’t see these again. So I’ve read conflicting things on wax. I use polish. Should I use wax or not? (AE jodhpurs, 1944 plain toe, Florsheim 92604 and spot on carpet from some shoe product...

    Mine too. Looks like the St. George did not appear as a jodhpur until 1982. Prior to that it was a zip.

    Wyatt and Dad can resole, recork and re-insole a GYW shoe. It's like having a new pair if the uppers are in good shape.

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    What year? I recently saw a Lloyd in a thrift shop. But I could only find a short wingtip in the 1950s. Later decades it was a split toe, I believe.
