Yesterday, we were scuffed and unglazed, today, still unglazed but nourished with VSC:

I want more shell, but at some point....I guess I have to admit, it’s just not practical to own every shell boot there is.

The Grafton is one of the finest wingtip bluchers around. Gorgeous!

Love mine, just gave them a light application of neutral Saphir cordovan cream the other day and they came up great. Virtually removed all the rain spots from the vamp.

There are Florsheim CG from the late-90s to early-00s that are complete and utter disasters, not worthy of the effort. The CG starts to looks like lizard scales, and the underlying leather is garbage. Older shoes from quality manufacturers seem to fare better. I suppose it's good that these...
