Detail post #1 - Allen-Edmonds Dress shoes 12D (Fit like 13E) $85.00 shipped CONUS

These are heavy-duty dress shoes, with Vibram "Gumlite" soles. These shoes weigh a lot and are made to last. They come with Allen-Edmons insoles included with leather on top. Technically labeled as a 12D, I find them both longer and slightly wider, more like a 13E. These are far from new yet have very little wear and tear. They could use a nice conditioning.

Detail Post #2 -- White's Otto White boots 10.5D (Fit like 11D) $130 Shipped CONUS

This is an easy-wearing, lighter weight pair of Goodyear welted White's boots, made of 4-5 oz Horween leather, and riveted in places as photos show. I purchased these new off the rack in Minnesota in ~ 2016 and have use them quite a bit since. They have seen me through quite a bit and have never let me down. These boots are re-sole-able, not rebuildable. They may need heel caps in the next year or two. Vibram V-bar (smooth) soles. Much lighter than traditional hand welted, hand bottomed and hand-sewn White's, so and easy pair to try out this brand as they still have the Arch Ease design of insole and foot-bed. Plenty of life left in this pair and nice patina in the brown Horween leather.

Here is my detailed review of these, from 2021 - https://www.thefedoralounge.com/thr...eview-otto-whites-vintage-line-packer.105015/

Detail post #3 -- Nicks Officer Boots, new rebuild 14B $285 Shipped CONUS

I am not as clear on the history of this pair, I took a chance with minimal detail on eBay some time back, and they are a recently rebuilt pair of the Officer Boots, the uppers having had only a small amount of wear. I thought being a "B" width, I could use them, and they will snug up on my feet to some degree, but at the end of the day, they are too long for me. I need to move them along to someone who can use them. With the recent rebuild, and very light wear to the uppers, these are very close to a new pair of boots for someone to break-in to their feet. Mini-Vibram (430) soles on these boots.

Detail Post #4 -- Corcoran military cap-toe $40 shipped CONUS

I Picked these up at an Estate sale locally, swapped the laces and gave them a conditioning (mostly have been polished prior). These boots exhibit moderate wear to the soles and uppers. Neat cap-toe design, 100% eyes up and down for lacing, size 12D and appear true to size. Easy to wear and lighter weight.

Detail Post #5 -- Nicks Tanker Boots 13B $450 shipped CONUS

I dialoged with the original owner of these boots several times prior to purchasing them via eBay a little over a year back. These technically have the Leather soles, and then the original owner added the green Vibram sole material over the leather soles.

This pair of Nicks has the Burgundy Siedel leather and bright brass hardware. It took some effort to get used to the tanker straps, but after some initial struggle, they have become quite normal and easy to get on & off for me. However, they are simply also too long, and with the straps, it's difficult to snug them up quite enough for me. So even though I really like how these look, I need to move them along. I have used them sparingly in the 1.3 years I've owned them, but they are likely only about 50% broken in at this point.

Those Tankers look SWEET. If they were 10.5D, we would already be talking!

Thank you! Yeah, I really need an 11.5 on these, but it's difficult to give them up as they do look quite cool.
