Here's an example of some new Aldens that exhibit similar "stains." View attachment 1336683 View attachment 1336684
The heel on my right shoe is starting to disintegrate. What's happening?

Kinda like my face, huh?i think it’s simply age related leather deterioration ☹.

Snagged these today for less than the cost of a medium, 1-topping pizza. Looks like @Jiqea found some ads in a previous post of the Copeg's advertised from the 40s to the 70s. I'd guess these are from the later period, but if someone has some better insight, feel free to chime in.

Just right over the top of the original heel? Or did you replace the whole heel stack?This happened to one of my pairs. I don't know the cause, but I suspect excessive humidity or dryness contributed.
I had a cobbler replace the heels with a rubber toplift.

Just got these 93605s (new to me) conditioned and ready for prime time when I noticed this. View attachment 1337064 ’ View attachment 1337079 View attachment 1337080
They are not that deep. But am I screwed? Should I have my cobbler put grommets on them? They are otherwise is amazing shape. This is heartbreaking. I can’t tell if this is means these are doomed or if they will hold as long as I keep them conditioned View attachment 1337066
