Hey everyone!

This is my first post on style forum. Glad to be here. I've spent many years frequenting various music forums, but I'm a total newb here so hang in there with me as I get my bearings :bigstar:.

I recently made the decision to spend smarter money on my wardrobe and acquire some quality pieces - particularly shoes. I've been educating myself on how to do that. 3 months ago I knew very little, but thanks to this forum, youtube, and Vcleat, I feel like I can at least be a part of the conversation. Still LOTS to learn. To this end, one of my first purchases was this vintage pair of Florsheim Royal Imperials #97625 with VCleats. I believe they are of 1990 vintage and came with the original box and shoe bags. I also found some properly sized Florsheim Shoe trees to go with them. As you can see, they’re not perfect, but they cleaned up pretty good and still have some life left in the sole and top lift. If you have any advice, comments, dissensions, feel free to post them here. All is welcome. I'm looking forward to the process of finding more things that don't feel so disposable. Thanks for stopping by!
