What is Corfam exactly? ls it cow/calf that has been treated or some different type of leather.
No wheeling marks on the new AE shells. How disappointing. Spoils the look.My Allen Edmonds Shell Cordovans, as featured in my latest write up.

What are wheeling marks?
They are special order. Done on the #1 last and with a single oak sole. I asked them to cut the edge close with no wheeling because I dance and extra sole means less utility... more trip ability. It's better the way I did it.
next up is a pair of J Brown brogues, they need a new heel but the leather is quite supple with no splits or cracking to the leather;
Original late 50s Florsheim Two-Tones! What I paid for them, some people spend on a crappy meal at a Dennys!
I got these old Edwin Clapps (my first pair) recently on ebay. I had to apply some elbow grease and some new laces, but they cleaned up nicely and fit well.
