Absolutely outstanding.Absolutely my most-complimented shoe. Normally I’m 11.5EEE, but lucky for me, this 12E works just fine.

Thank you. Acquired at the dearly departed Clarksburg MD outlet (RIP) when the company was blowing out a bunch of unclaimed orders and such a few years ago. I think they were $99. Maybe my best shoe purchase ever.Absolutely outstanding.

Incoming...Cornwallis in Navy. Factory Seconds care of Tom in Destin, Florida.
Old logo—score.
Evidence of in-store try-on/vamp creasing, but Tom noted this on the phone. A little Saphir Renovateur and Marine Blue polish should do the trick...
Price, you ask? $112.48 shipped.
10eee. Slightly shorter than the 65, but I like where my toe sits. Very excited.

I’m a dainite nut myself! I’ll post some pics after the first shine...NNIIIIIICEEE!!
I have some with Dainite I got for a song off the bank. Love 'em.
Navy and black wax for the toe. They look fantastic with a little minor darkening....
Couldn’t agree more. Even the old boxes are better. Probably looking too far ahead—but I hope they do something spectacular in 2022 for the centennial. I really like the script on the first run of the Independence line, but I never bought any@Vincent George So cool that you got one with the pre-2018 logo. I know it's just a small thing that no one sees when we wear them, but I miss the old logo. Just looks more subtle and classy to my eyes.
Not that any here, or on other shoe threads, are "weaseling" anyone.............and that I possibly need more. lol. Thank you all for your enthusiasm, great taste and inspiration. ??
You went down half size from your 65, or you're noticing that 1943 has a sharper taper than the 65?Incoming...Cornwallis in Navy. Factory Seconds care of Tom in Destin, Florida.
