Thrift find yesterday, not an AE expert, but I think early 90s? The landscape insole logo makes me think older, but I know they must be newer than late 80s because of the lowercase:

@Hotel Cali. That’s a great color and relatively rare by comparison!

Thanks.

I like the bourbon more than the golden harvest. I think it is less jarring and more versatile.

The 'Windsor calf' is also good. It is coated but doesn't crease much. I feel it gives a shell cordovan vibe.

Strangely, my fat feet mostly stay in the 11.5 eee to 12 eee range. I can sometimes wear 11.5 e or 12 e.

Asked same question in Dacks thread, hope that’s okay…

Hey all, some cobbler advice please.

I’d like to resole (GYW) the nice-ish pair of LWs I picked up a ways back and am looking at recommendations for the required work. Preferred in Winnipeg (hah), followed by Canadian options. The resole will be full rubber, serious grip needed! For that reason I guess I don’t really need an artisan, yet I’m loathe to hand them over to someone who doesn’t actually do that kind of work, as I hope whoever is really good would put the same care into the job no matter how fancy or basic the shoe.

Thanks!

If you can get measured again - be sure to get the heel to ball measurement, not just the heel to toe measurement. They can be, and often are, different from each other.

I agree. That's the most important measurement.

I usually wear a 11.5D in an Imperial but 11.5C and 12C fit okay. A 11D Standmok fits me well. My Nike sneakers are 12.5. And my KISS Starchild Boots are a 12.

Andrew Morden at Ambros in Saskatoon and Martin Sugg at at Timeless in Thunder Bay are closest to you.

I like the way ‘Saskatoon’ sounds but never been there. I have been to a few other Provinces though. (Sorry no shoe info here)

I like the way Saskatoon berries taste!
I lived a little north of there in the early 70s, always enjoyed going to the big town. Been back a few times since, it still is charming with the usual caveats associated with city life.

Is there a way to get a hold of Mr Sugg without using phone or Friend Face? Don’t have long distance but will call if no other option.

This is a vintage violation. But, Saddle Shoes are certainly vintage inspired. They are from Ealdwine (an Alden retailer). They were a custom makeup for the store.

The Fayetteville in snuff and blue suede.

Avert your eyes if the violation hurts you.

Suede shoes are desperately missing from my collection.

not counting skate shoes…

I frankly prefer to take a taste of Regina.
