@suitforcourt is bankrolling a very worthy project. For those new to the story, here was the status quo pro ante on that pair.

To reunite them, I had to nearly empty one of the deep bins you can see piled up on the left here which was 2/3 filled.

But from this will come a redemption story worthy of being recycled into a jury summation. I know it can be done.
What an improvement! Here's as far as I was able to get them before shuffling them off to Buffalo.These are all pics from the cobbler. New insoles, cork, and Vibram lug soles.

I had these gorgeous Hanovers for a few months, great condition and all leather construction.

They were too wide on me, and I never found an insole that made them work. So I put them up on eBay.
No takers for a while, then I got an offer from some guy in Buffalo. Negotiated the price and packaged them up, then I noticed the shipping address:
Sole Man.
Whether he's planning to wear them or resell them, I'm glad they're going to someone who can appreciate them.
Thanks, but I need to go 11.5 in C width. That particular pair was in excellent condition - serves me right for not bidding high enough.
I do have these incoming, which takes out some of the sting

Any tips on digging through those big blue bins? I was in a thrift store looking at them one day but didn't quite know where to start.@suitforcourt is bankrolling a very worthy project. For those new to the story, here was the status quo pro ante on that pair.

3 pairs of GH. I'm so jealous. I would be over the moon to have ONE pair in my size.I have developed 3 new skills to remove the sting of losing out on shoes I really want:
1. Bid as high as I am willing to. I never bet on others not being interested or noticing shoes;
2. Being content with what I have. These are material goods after all. I try to buy experiences and not things. Still working on this one;
3. Realizing no matter how rare, other pairs do eventually show up. This is how I ended up with 3 pairs of Golden Harvest in varying sizes and conditions.
Don’t stress. There are many other pairs waiting for you.

I'll take this comment to mean that people in this thread would want to draw and quarter me if I bought the one in my size available on eBay and dye it a different color.
