Thom McAn Bootmaster Longwings

November 29, 2015 david

More vintage. This time its Thom McAn shoes likely from the late 1960s or 1970s. According to Wikipedia, Thom McAn was a retail shoe giant in the United States during 1960s and 1970s. The “Bootmaster” line was a premium line for their stores. I kind of remember Thom McAn in the 1980s when I worked … Continue reading Thom McAn Bootmaster Longwings →

Three Florsheim Color #8 Longwings

November 28, 2015 david

A sunny fall day in Seattle? Its a perfect time to take some photos of three vintage Florsheim shoes. This trio includes two shell cordovan Imperials Kenmoors (model 93605) and one never worn Royal Imperial (model 97626). I believe all three were made in the 1980s. For you Alden fans, these are basically the same … Continue reading Three Florsheim Color #8 Longwings →

Vintage Bostonian Flexaire Wingtip

November 21, 2015 david

More shoes? Yep. This post focuses on a pair of early 1960s Bostonian wingtips. The pair has never been worn. Which is sort of amazing. Why would someone keep these shoes unworn for 50+ years? Its a mystery or maybe even a miracle. Like magnets. How do I know these shoes are from the sixties? … Continue reading Vintage Bostonian Flexaire Wingtip →

Vintage Shoe Tear Down

November 8, 2015 david

If you like vintage shoes like me, you send a lot of time looking at eBay. Finding a shoe is sometimes difficult because of the generic eBay search tools, poor photos, and wrong seller classifications (i.e. David to Seller “why does the title say 11D but the description has 9.5C?”). If you look at eBay … Continue reading Vintage Shoe Tear Down →

October eBay Dress Shoe Sales

November 3, 2015 david

New month but the same names on the top 10 list. Sales were down from the previous month across the board. It must have been due to the Canadian election. Yes, probably Trudeau. And his hair. He has the most famous Canadian hair since Bieber. Let’s hope he turns out better! I love you though … Continue reading October eBay Dress Shoe Sales →

Allen Edmonds MacNeil Recrafted

November 1, 2015 david

In a previous post, I wrote about sending off a pair of Shell Cordovan MacNeil shoes to Allen Edmonds for their “Prestige” recrafting service. Since then, the shoes were recrafted and sent back to me. How did it go? In short, very well. Was it worth it? Yes. Read on to find out more. This is the … Continue reading Allen Edmonds MacNeil Recrafted →
