Shoes that look better with age...

MOTO #2121 in light brown Latigo

A few weeks ago we were in Atlanta for a family wedding, and my partner’s mom spilled a bunch of laundry detergent on these. Wiped them down with a wet rag and ordered some leather soap and leather cream for next day delivery (wonders of the modern world).

Still dry & dirty vs. wet after a wash:

 

Dry again after their wash…plus the view from the suburban front porch (could be worse):

 

Conditioned them right after the last photos, but didn’t have a good brush on hand. Fast forward to today, finally got around to brushing them off and lightly buffing. I’m sure I’ve said it before, but I’m really happy with how these are breaking in.

Another day...another old pair of boots. 

Freshly cleaned and polished vintage two tone Tony Lama Black Label Cowboy work boots with Vibram soles. Love the patina.

Recently pick this bowling inspired shoes from Radiance Blue Shanghai, it's collaboration effort between Hsin Wei (founder of RB) & Rock Yeh (shoemaker behind Feit, visvim, etc).

Very unique choice of leather (kangaroo) & shape, excited to see how it evolves...
