I picked these up on Ebay for a steal. The description was very poor and basically only said the size, brand, and color. The shoes are in dire need of a good cleaning or refinishing, but they were only $25 and fit my foot like a glove! They're a ton better than those square-toed Clarks I've been wearing... So here are 3 very crappy pictures. The first one does not show the color of the shoe well at all, they're actually a very dark brown. Does anyone have an idea of what this model would be? They look just like the Cambridge but I doubt these are shell cordovan. I suppose they cold be the McAllister from the classics collection.
This shows the sole of the shoe, obviously (and a better representation of the color up there at the top). What does the "FR" stamp mean? Factory reconditioned? Factory rejects? Nothing?
Here is what's on the inside of the shoe. What does the "COMB." mean? Was this a combination leather/rubber sole at some point? Which last is this on?
Thanks for any help you can give me! If no one can figure it out I'll just get a hold of AE, but I thought you guys might enjoy the task. As a final, random question.. a local shoe repair shop carries Lexol leather conditioner. Is that a good product for these types of shoes?
