1 Ravello LHS regular, lined

C&J for Polo -

I have 2 pair of Florsheim Shell Wingtips. Both were my dad's. I am guessing he bought them when he was around my age (35). Still look great.

I'll wager that the forums account for 77% of the worlds cordovan shoe consumption.

I love the idea of shell cordovan, especially for the waterproof qualities that would make it ideal for San Francisco weather; but I can't get over the way they look after wear. The large creases make them look like a grub worm.

I have two, but have never worn one pair.

Not after you manouche it off thoroughly and hit it with a brush for a few minutes.

You should take a pic, JayJay. Would love to see the herd.

It so happens I wore my Martegani shell chukkas today. Since I first answered the poll I've gone from one pair of shell to, I think, four. But one's gonna get sold off for fit reasons.
