Good Man!
Here is my pair of 1930's Johnston & Murphy spectators, in a size 9
Still in very good condition.
Yes its suede, and i'm a little weary of using conditioner, the leather is still so buttery soft and supple and i wear them so little, are there any risks of using conditioner on shoes this old?

LoveMyHats2 Thanks for the great info on shoe care, I have to confess I have never really done much upkeep on my collection apart from the odd slather of the old shoe cream now and again, and I thought working with suede wasn't possible to me, good to know someone else's experience
Isshinryu101 Thanks for the info as well, here's a picture of the sole of one shoe, and I always keep these puppies in a tree
As someone who has the last of the J&M handmades you are a lucky guy to have specs in those.

It makes me want to cry....seriously, it really is painful for me to see the results of storing un-treed shoes.Cue: Nancy Kerrigan "Why, why, why..." audiocrying for some trees.
