Does anyone have a shoe suitcase? Here's a few of my shoes set out on the suitcase, then you can see the inside and how the shoes are stored.

Wonderful spectators, Michael! I wish I could find a pair just like those that I can wear in rotation with my black and whites. Have you got a broad idea of the date on those? And how often do you condition your shoes?

Thanks. They are probably my favorite color pairing. I have no real idea how old they might be. An identical pair is listed on Etsy as 1940s, but I don't put much weight in Etsy listing descriptions.

I usually condition a couple of times right after I pick up a pair of older shoes, or newer ones that appear dried out. After that I would say not often, once a year at the most for my dress shoes. On my boots I use a sort of homemade dubbin as they are what I wear when there is wet weather about.

Wow - you can really carry a bunch of shoes. Almost everyday commuting and frequent travelor here. I use a modern Patagonia bag. It is boom proof. The pic below shows how (a max of 2 pair of shoes) can be zipped into protection and carried. For me shoe trees and cloth bags, for each shoe daily are my normal.

Just had these delivered not new but good shape blue suede nubucks Brooks Brothers like most of my clothes and shoes. For some reason they look a little blotchy in the photo but not in person maybe the flash on my phone

Just the ticket for those white linen pants and seersucker jacket

Can’t help but do a quick all positive (almost) review on these Sanders. They are just so comfy & stylish. After living in the world of heavy American workboots (Indy included), these light weight, plantation crepe suede just feel fresh. They hug the feet allowing no slippage in any direction, internally, & externally, the well planted, high traction crepe helps deliver friction to kinetic energy & makes walking so effortless, they are also quiet, no heel clunking, so I wear them indoor too like fluffy slippers, gentle on wood floor. No wonder the King of Cool plays frisby in them!

Those may be made in England as Brooks Brothers has a lot of things made for their brand by PEAL if I am not mistaken? But no matter what those are well made and sharp looking shoes!

I don’t think the Bucks are but I will probably look them up when I get time. One advantage of working in IT is I can query the purchase order system and see where they buy things from (strictly for my own entertainment)

But yes most of my B.B. shoes are Peal they also use Allen Edmonds as well some of the newer ones are made in Italy
