    Show us your SHOES !!!

    l can spitshine mine to glass. Takes about 4 - 5 hours. l don't agree with spitshining, so l don't do it anymore. RAF MAN: nice TL's, crockets and totally awesome Lobbs.

    1930s SEALSKIN shoes

    You'd be very surprised how small a piece of leather is needed for shoos/boots. l had a pair of croc boots made from what seemed to be a really small piece of leather. Cain Toads are everywhere in Northern Australia, a real pest. Maybe l should get some shoos made out of cain toad leather for...

    1930s SEALSKIN shoes

    Yes. My guess would be one big bullfrog per shoo. lol l actually like the frog leather, they'd look awesome after wearing them for a few years. What brand are the Sealskin babies?

    1930s SEALSKIN shoes

    l'm not too keen about the frosty looking leather, but i'd still be more than happy to wear Sealskin occasionally. lt's exciting to have shoos in many different leathers. Here is an Edward Green bespoke shoo made from Bullfrog leather.

    Edward Green Shoes

    Nice shoos indeed. l want to special order some captoes in navy blue. Not so keen about the $1,500 ASD price tag though. Sooo much money for a machine constructed shoo.

    l strongly dissagree. There are soooo many incredible shoos out there, 40 is far from enough.

    l just can't help myself when it comes to buying shoos. l've loved shoos from 6 months old and have been constantly collecting since l was 16. l buy shoos with the view that they will last a lifetime. l always like to buy multiple pairs of the same brand so l can really get the feel of what a...

    What do I wear on my feet?

    When l used to wear rubber soled shoos my feet always got hot. ln the hot weather, wear leather soled shoos ONLY. Never wear dress shoos without socks.

    All the shoos l have photographed and spoken about are made from Melbourne Australia....in a factory. My grandmother helped make those shoos above.

    The Shoomans highend ltalian shoo photos.

    l've only seen a few Tramezzas before so l can't comment too much about quality, but they (Tramezzas) do look nicely made and of nice leather (l would prefer Santoni FAM [tan sock.....goodyear constructed]). l've actually had my eye on a pair of Spectators Tramezzas 50% made from...

    1942/43 Army Shoos (pics)

    The shoos were made in local factories in Melbourne, AUSTRALIA. Made specifically for use in the Australian Army. Many cordwainers and shoo factories in Melbourne 70 years ago. Fitzroy and Collingwood had alot of shoo-making activity going on.
