Bought over the weekend from a Vintage clothing shop in my city, Chester.
These shoes originally came from a shop in Chester or Liverpool called J.Collinson & Co. They fit beautifully and cost me the small sum of £25.00.

Not vintage or classy, but...

...I found these custom made cavalry-style boots at the thrift store last week. They're in great condition and fit perfectly, but I'm not sure yet if they're destined to be keepers or something I'm going to try to make a few bucks on. I like them a lot, but they don't go with anything in my wardrobe - in fact, I don't even know what to wear them with other than reenactment or steampunk outfits. Still and all, they're really beautiful boots. Any suggestions on their wearability outside of costume situations?

An original pair of '60s "Hush Puppies" in excellent condition. I love these shoes. :D

About a size 8, unfortunately they're too small for me so for sale they'll be going. :(

Nice Rockabilly feel to 'em. I need to find these shoes in my size.

Curse my size 12 feet!

So I don't think I had ever gotten around to taking photos of these before, they're vintage florshiems, courtesy of HarpPlayerGene a while back. Photos taken after I polished 'em up Saturday, first with flash, second without. The pic with flash shows how the toe has lightened up better, but the second shows the color more accurately.

Spectator shoes by After Six. Size 48/US:14/UK:13.
Nearly complete synthetic but I was short on time and I was glad I found them in the UK (no customs).
Guess they were 40 quids and with shipping it was ~83 Euro.

The black ones are Borellis reduced from 100 Euros to 60.
Size 47, complete leather, Goodyear welted.

The chocolate brown ones are from Sioux (german brand) and I bought them yesterday for 100 Euro.
Size 47, complete leather with rubber soles - luckily.

Thanks for showin' 'em to us, Stoneface! :)

Thrifted some odd ones lately, but I like 'em.

Vintage JC Penny's in 9-1/2 B. Perfect fit for me! Very nice leather. Not sure what to call it though. Calf? Cordovan? It has a slight pebble but a high-shine toe. Ideas/Info anyone?
