    Florshiem lmperial sizing

    hopefully by tonight. A bloke has sourced a pair for me. l'm paying over $500 for these babies, so l hope he posts in the next few hours. l feel 95% confident i've got my size nailed, but i'm still alittle paranoid.

    Blundstone Boots

    l keep my old bludsones in the shed for most of the year (a great home for all the spiders to live in). But l do get them out and wear them when i'm down the beach.

    Blundstone Boots

    l cannot agree on that. l bought a pair 20 years ago. Nice cow leather work boot uppers and a strong glued sole (back then)....BUT as usual, the achillies heal of all cheap shoos are the soles. They Crack! Blundstones were very very popular with the Uni crowds (esp girls) in the late...

    Florshiem lmperial sizing

    Do the old 50's and 60's Florshiem lmperials fit true to size?

    Leather Heels

    When l get heal replacements, i'm going to ask for an all leather heal.

    Leather Heels

    l prefer the look of all leather heals too. l think the combinatioin heal came in during the 60's. The soles of the vintage Florshiem lmperials are amazing.

    The need for `tweed'. Show us your stuff.

    l'm only new to tweed, but l love the stuff. l'd love to see all your vintage tweeds. l don't have any vintage tweeds yet (i'm working on that), but l have a few nice newer tweed coats. Here they are: Note: the photo's do NO justice to the colours of the tweeds. A nice light weight...

    Johnston and Murphy

    Here are 4 excellent pair of J&M handmade shoos. They stopped being made about 12 years ago and retailed for $1,000 U.S at the time. Some of the most beautiful classic shoos you will ever see. http://www.filmnoirbuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3571

    Does this Look Like a Golden Era Shoe?

    lt's amazing to see how many shoos were highly decorated in those days. Because of cost cutting, you only see that type of stuff at the top end now.

    Plain-toed, brown, leather-soled Oxford?

    Crockette & Jones `connaught' would be the ideal place to get a nice conservative captoe if they aren't available locally. see second bottom row in this link: http://plal.com/images/cj/2007-09-20-1615-34_edited.jpg

    Plain-toed, brown, leather-soled Oxford?

    Most of those shoos pictured are not Oxfords. Most are bluchers/derby's. Here is a pair of brown captoe oxfords. l absolutely love them.

    l'd prefer Church's over Grenson masterpieces or C&J handgrade anyday. Sure i've bagged Church's in the past (bad experiences with ruining the beautifully grain corrected leather), but those shoos are totally superior to any C&J and Grenson ANYDAY! They are comfy and l feel like a king while...

    Perforated Stetson shoes.

    They look o.k. l'm after a couple summery perforated shoes. Been thinking of getting a couple of nice Vass to fill that empty area of my shoo collection.

    Black Church's monk. lt's a tough old rascal (built really strong). Fits nice. Not as good as my older Church's monks. l got this to replace my broken Church's monk (old black one on 73) with a newer styled model. Never pretty, but smart reliable shoos. Nothing feels like Church's.....they have...
