Alright fellas I went and grabbed the AEs, here's better pics of the other parts of the shoe. the back has some thread breakage going on but i'm guessing its still good? View attachment 2048499 View attachment 2048501 View attachment 2048511 View attachment 2048533

These shoes have been previously restored (resoled) and the heels look very rough. On shell cordovan it's been to inspect the shoes very closely for rips or tears. On these shoes, at the instep notch is the most common area that tears.

Usually pass on Hickey Freeman but this was rolled out on the rack of the Salvation Army when I was about to leave. 100% cashmere and very thick. Too big on me but that is kind of the style now a days.

Thrift fit with aformentioned sweater and some chimala jeans from a few months ago.
