This pair of 93605s landed at my door while I was on a zoom call, so they were intercepted by spousal customs.
After a bit of explaining (apologizing) they were allowed through.
I acquired them off Yahoo Japan's auction site from a Japanese gentleman who bought them while living in New York in the late 80s.
There's a bit of a deep crease on the right vamp, so I'm going to hit it with several coats of Bick 4 and hope that it doesn't turn into a deeper crack. But overall they are in pretty nice shape.
I already have a really nice pair that I got from @stook1 so I didn't need another pair of 93605s, but this one had made a few rounds on the auction block with a slowly decreasing price tag and 21 people eyeing them... so I decided to pull the trigger before I had to watch them get away.
This new pair is a very wide 9.5EEE which I don't see too often for Florsheim LWBs, so I'll see how they fit me.
