Wow those cleaned up nicely!Not vintage, but I had fun just now refreshing a pair of sad-looking AE Bradley shell I scored for peanuts on Ebay, for personal.
This orange peel deposit on the outside right heel was a bit of a concern.
Turns out they came right back with only water, trees and a good scrub with VSC and a stiff bristle brush. Then a rubdown with an automotive cloth and more VSC, brushing with a horsehair brush and buffing with a cut-up silk shirt.

The rough section cleaned up really well with the 3500 grit auto polishing cloth and some VSC.

Florsheim Imperial NST from 1967. These are a half size too small so I hardly ever wear them though I desperately want them to fit.

I have not tried stretching them yet but I should. . .Have you tried stretching them? @CWOyaji has a great method.
I'm also slowly sliding into watches. I've saved some Soviet era mechanicals in my eBay list. Same local seller, so I may make "lot" offer once I break my quarantine in December (I.e. I promised my wife I won't buy new shoes or watches until December).
