    Shoe and Boot Storage

    After years dealing with dust getting on my shoes that I wear less often, I decided to buy some enclosed shoe storage boxes. Most of these kinds of boxes are very flimsy, hard to assemble and don't stack very well. But I found these Antbox units which have almost no assembly and are sturdy...

    Best common, highly available dress sock - I'm throwing my socks away!

    I'm throwing all of my socks out! In a house with teenage boys I'm tired of hunting for a sock match so I'm going to buy 20-30 pairs of identical black dress socks and throwing everything else away. Tried these gold toe windsor wool socks but they aren't nearly as good as the old gold toe...

    Road Salt, Ice Melt and Leather Sole Shoes - Save Our Soles!

    Help Saving Alden Shell Cordovan 990 PTB's Please

    I bought these Alden for Hanig 990 Plain Toe Blucher's used. Wear is minimal but the previous owner appears to have used the wrong color and type of polish/gunk on them. The greasy coating isn't phased by horsehair brushing and I can't tell what color they were originally. He said they were...

    Alden's just bought - hope they fit!

    I just bought these Aldens and can't wait to receive them. I wear a 10.5 D in Allen Edmonds. I've read the lasts vary on different models, does anyone know the model of these and whether they'll compare to AE's in sizing? Fingers crossed!
