Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

[ojaw]

Done at last! I like the way they turned out, except for a small light spot on the left shoe. I think I'll give them a wear test tomorrow!

Looks like Golden Harvest, the model number almost faded but still fit with 93601. Anyone 9D want to jump in ?

Getting ready for lunch with an old friend. 97626 from Feb 1990. I wear these with a sole insert, so I just picked up a second pair, slightly smaller. Coincidentally, the incoming pair were made just a month earlier in Jan 1990. They are on their way. Florsheim was using some really nice shell in that era on this group.

I’m seeing the last digit more on par with a
a “2…” (so, probably, a 93602).

Eggplant, make that aubergine, Nettleton 4063 shell LWBs at Trader Joe’s just now. Yep, it's a color match.

Continuing the food theme, one of my sons is touring Italy with his girlfriend this week and he keeps sending me pictures of the great meals they are enjoying. I am of course jealous but in all modesty I’m the one that turned him on to gourmet food back when he was little. Aperitifs in Venice:

Shaved truffles in Trastevere. I mean that’s just not fair.

Cacio e pepe. It's Rome, after all.
