It occurs to me that if you're going to get stuck with the "worthless" beaten-up shoes anyway, assuming they're beaten-up versions of stylish/good quality shoes, they may be of some interest to forum members who like, or are interested in learning how to, antique shoes themselves.

This is very compelling. Some of the shoes look new. I am fond of estate sales-it brings out the worst in people.

i'll definitely offer the more worn ones, and they'd probably be like $20 or something low, especially if people were to experiment with antiquing on shoes that didn't cost a fortune. otherwise, i'm donating a lot of it to goodwill, but i'll certainly take pix of all of it on the chance that people want some of it

The RLPL monkstraps look excellent. I'm a US12, so I can't wait to see what you get.

Very interesting. Does anyone have a link to the online viewing that works? The one in the article is for one of those fake search engines.

ED: NM, only one of the links doesn't work.
