Most of this has probably been posted here before, but yesterday I had a tidy-up and sort out. In the bottom of my wardrobe are four racks of skeletal shoe trees, they are perfect for keeping shoes in good shape. Here's a couple of those racks, removed from the wardrobe.

Having so many multi-coloured shoes requires a quite a paraphernalia of shoe creams, polishes and cleaning equipment. That was mostly what I was sorting out. How simple it would be to have a larger version of the kit that I take with me to festivals, dance weekends and other events.

Collecting dust at the back of the wardrobe is my shoe suitcase. It came up a treat after a dust and light polish.

Now I am sorting by style, but that won't last long, I still put shoes back on any available tree, at least I keep them in pairs.

Am I getting a pair? Tell me Eric, is the Pope a Catholic?I see a lot of oh's and ahh's on this thread when spectators get posted. Are any of you fans going to get a pair? https://simonjamescathcart.com/collections/footwear/products/navy-spectator-shoes
Excellent priced modern shoes directly patterned from vintage models.
Cheers, Eric -
Excellent job. You did well.Hello all. I'm pretty new to FL, and up to now have only posted in the Hats forum.
I picked up a pair of Dexter derby shoes at the Salvation Army store today. I was wondering if anybody had any idea about how old they might be or maybe a model name. The were made in U.S.A., and a Google search told me that Dexter stopped manufacturing in the U.S. in 2001. Beyond that, I wasn't able to find much.
All the pictures except the last one are of the shoes in the condition I bought them in. The last one is of how they looked after I gave them a little TLC.
Thanks in advance for any insights!
