A wanted "dream to come true" that will more than not happen in my life time, would be for all the shoe factories that once existed in Brockton, Mass., to be in full operational mode if even for just a few years. I would even be willing to cash in my Life Insurance so that I could make a run to the shops, beg the management to have a fun "runs" of some of the shoes I would love to own, and fill a UHaul trailer with them!
Of course, then the curse would be, Fedora hats and some additional new clothing/attire to match up everything....all this is making me want to order a new suit this very moment, something nice like a new Oxxford brand suit.
The way I apply the conditioner, it continues to have more put on until it will no longer absorb any, then I am safe to know they are done and should be o.k. The next step is to flex the shoes a little bit, maneuver the leather around a bit to see how supple it has become. If there is not enough conditioner on the inside of the shoes, they will "squeak"! That always reminds me of that saying, "the wheel that squeaks the most gets oiled"!!!! Lol!This was very interesting to me. To think that the leather of one pair of shoes can suck up 8 FL Oz. of conditioner!

Found these in the thrift store...I like the colors
The creases look bad in the pics, I think the flash from my camera "enhanced" them.
Bizzarro?? designed in Italy..probably made in China
$4.00...cant go too wrong
Yes, seeing that photo being captioned as a 'Shoe & Leather fair' would support the argument that those boots were made to show off a bootmakers skill and catch the attention of buyers at a trade fair.
