I am not a bond salesman, but I know those guys resume travel while dressing up quite dapperly. There are certain jobs still require suits and ties by nature. I imagine laws is still among those too.Maybe this has been previously discussed, but am I correct in my assessment that dress shoe prices (including shell cordovan) are depressed? I would suspect the need for dress shoes (vintage or otherwise) has diminished with the pandemic, and may never fully recover given the increased, long term acceptance of working from home.
Yup! Congrats. You win ... uhhh ... the eternal glory and respect of this thread.
Wait... what?!
awww yeah!!! Welcome back. We've missed your knowledge, wit, and awesome shoe collection.Guess who’s back...
Back again...
Sorry, I had to disappear for a long while; just know it involved an insane amount of work saving (what was) a terribly broken company (which is now not broken).
So, here’s some shoes: they are AE’s; your mission is to identify the model name and number. Know that this one is harder than it first appears. Bonus points if you get the era and catalog entry correct.
I am, indeed, wearing these shoes today. In public.

I might be the wind... but I’m not sure you want it beneath your wings, counselor.Your intermittent disappearances always worry me and make me assume the most horrendous situation.
Welcome back, brother. Your presence and contributions always brings a smile to my face.
You are the wind beneath my wings.
Snazzy. When you say cobbler rebuilt them, what did they do? Got any before and after shots? I love rebuilds and restorations.To celebrate @wasmisterfu's return, I present, a pair of Florsheim NST. I rolled the dice on the 9.5D size. And they fit. Width wise, no issues. Obviously long, but my feet don't flop around in the toe box.
A cobbler rebuilt from scratch.

As for my disappearances, they are unfortunate, but the work (which involved saving jobs, a lot of investor money, etc.) demanded pretty single-minded attention (the rest of my energies are then reserved for raising my two monstrous kids and maintaining my shoe “collection (hoard)). Since things are a tad more stable now, I can devote some time to my love of playing dress up and wearing fancy shoes.
That said, I always want come back with some insane James Bond level adventure story, but I know that you know that I’m just some weirdo with an unreasonable number of shoes. It’s good to be “virtually” back with my own kind. (See what I did there?)
Your lawyer friends also sound like excellent future clients to help you start your private criminal defense practice.I was thinking cocaine. My lawyer friends tell me it's an amazing upper.
