    Vintage Spade Sole Shoes

    I never get around to taking photos of anything but here are two of my three pairs of vintage shoes. The Burgandy ones are 1940s French Shriner and Urners and the red/orange ones were basically NOS 1940's Thom McAn spade soles. Shout out to Cookie, wouldn't have either without him!

    Remix Has a Man's Shoe.

    I own a pair of the brown and whites, Don't wear them much anymore since I got an original pair from the 40s. I liked them a lot, looked great and pretty comfortable, not comparable to vintage though. These are definately a good buy regardless.

    Best method of cleaning a worsted wool suit and wool jacket?
