Your mileage may vary, but I have three pairs of Cordwainer Wrights, and I would say their quality is equal to Florsheim or Hanover. They're lovely shoes...gotta take them in for a little cobbler TLC. Definitely not cheap junk.These Cordwainer Wright LWBs caught my eye. They seem to have a very deep burnt orange color and some interesting patina going on, but I'm wondering how much of that is dark polish that has been caked on.
They've got replacement top lifts, the soles are suspect, and the footbed looks like it could have some heavy wrinkling and possibly deep foot impressions... so possibly in need of a full recraft which means $$$.
But that color!
Thoughts anyone? I know Cordwainer Wright was ET Wright's top tier brand, but overall how is the quality compared to vintage Florsheims?
