You started all this.
Or are you just too close to all the violence to accept your hand in it?

Killer boots. I have a very similar pair of unknown vintage and origin that I got deadstock many years ago. I always suspected they were 1920's.mattfink said:Ok, calm down...here they are. 1920's kidskin bootes:

I was thinking of sanding off the black paint on the soles like Marineabilly did with his SAs. Should I, or would it be wrong to mess with true vintage?
Doug C said:Hey Martineabilly.. I've said it here before but I personally think the SA madison's are a little under-rated. I originally based that statement on a pair of vintage ones that I owned. The leather didn't seem all that bad to me then.. I suppose the more recent ones could use a poorer quality leather. I sold those because they were much narrower than a modern size D, do you find these to be narrow(er) than what you normally take? I've been thinking about getting more (maybe the brown this time) and was thinking about getting them in EE or something. Also, how did you go about removeing the black edgeing paint from the top of the welt where the white stitching is? Those boots look great BTW. I've searched these at Zappos several times in the past and am trying to rememeber if they even offer the reg. leather (non-Kid) ones ?

I've lost my mind. I never thought I'd drop that much on a pair of shoes. They are comfortable, though....

Doug C said:maybe not 30s & 40s, and well.. maybe not even boots but has anyone noticed that cultizm are now offering a Red Wing work SHOE. They come with the white crepe soles (like construction boots, Irish Setters, etc) in a full welt. Offered in a mohagany and a black. I love 'em but the price is killing me. http://www.cultizm.com/product_info...-BOOTS---8109-OXFORD-MAHAGONY-ORO-IGINAL.html
