Shoes that look better with age...

[Megatron1505]

I know some of you guys don't think much of Grensons quality these days, but I love the Fred boots, and for the price I think they're amazing.

I want to buy a pair this week, and can't decide between Vibram or not, what do you guys think?

[ThinFinn]

^since the pics aren`t big enough i`ve fixed it for you!

and it`s +1 for the normal leahter sole...

[Megatron1505]

Thanks Rafa, much better

[nicolnicolnicol]

I would say the ones with the leather soles.

[jigsaw]

leather sole +1

[CrashTestBrummie]

I'm with the leather soles, too...the oversized detailing works better with the chunky soles and dark leather...

[denimjunky]

HH-new whites look great!

[SLAB]

anyone know whats the difference between the black leathers that Wesco offers? they have black, black fire and black tie. Do they evolve/look different from eachother or is it just the tickness that differs?

might have to jump ship to Wesco or Whites if this Viberg group buy does not go through or becomes too expensive

[coleslawyum]

Black: Oil Tanned Leather

Fire Black: Matte Finish

Black Tie: Polished Black

Folks,

I have a gift from my friend returning from Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's the traditional sandal, Peshawari Chappal. I wear 13D in most shoes and 14 in Nikes. The one I received is too small,. If you're size 12D, you can claim this sandals for free, all you need to do is pay the shipping fees. First one to PM me gets it.

Just got these shell Aldens. Theyre a little big on me, but theyre so nice I'm gonna try to make em work.

Those are very nice - they have a plain toe as well... Haven't seen those before on an Alden Loafer

[chantheman]

I had a guy stop me at whole foods yesterday asking about my SD... He thought they were Julians... and we talked boots for a minute or two. I guess the polish made them stand out a bit...

[CrashTestBrummie]

I guess the polish made them stand out a bit...

Always helps, I can vouch for that

My now-brick-red Cheaneys got the thumbs up from colleagues today...

[SwedeAlex]

I just purchases the Alden Indy Boots. I decided to go with size US10.5 after some advice.

They are being shipped from the US to Sweden so they´ll be a while. I´ll post pics when they arrive!

[CrashTestBrummie]

Polishing shoes obsessively is a great way to kill time whilst waiting for news of people caught up in rioting and looting less than a mile away...

[sweapea]

^ I saw that on the news Made the Vancouver riot look like a walk in the park. So sad - I hope not many were injured.

[Maynard Friedman]

I saw you trying to break the bars on the Crockett & Jones window!

[CrashTestBrummie]

I saw you trying to break the bars on the Crockett & Jones window!

Ha, nicked!

The C&J shop is on one of the streets where the looting started...I bet there will be some very dapper feet hanging around street corners in Brum for a while

[Maynard Friedman]

There was small-scale rioting about a mile down the road from me too - in Harlesden.

[Happy Hooligan]

why does rioting and looting always go together...? I guess without the words rioting before the looting, it's just common theft...

Thanks guys! She is a cool chick! Let's me make a leather mess around the house. And let me quit my career to learn to make leather handbags.

Yeah, that's the fullerton train station and the other is a trail up at the highest point of town. Off state college blvd..not too far from cal state fullerton college.

[haha im a panda]

These definitely look much worse with age. I was hoping they'd last more than 4 months. Oh well. Back to Redwings.

[Happy Hooligan]

you did that to your aldens in 4 months?

[erk]

These definitely look much worse with age. I was hoping they'd last more than 4 months. Oh well. Back to Redwings.

uhh. I dont really see anything wrong with them other than -

they need a new heel cause you didn't replace it

they have paint on them, cause you probably painted while wearing them

and they need to be cleaned

get some soap, some water, lexol cleaner, obenauf's, and kiwi brown and they'll be fine.
