Alden Shoes – Aging of Color #8 Shell Cordovan

The aging process of leather shoes is something a shoe connoisseur relishes. The patina, or the color age gives to the leather, is something to really behold.

This particular pair of shoes is a pair owned by Tom Park from back in 2001. Notice the lightening of the leather and development of a unique patina.

*Please note, this pair of shoes were intentionally kept in a manner to lighten the leather.

To give you an idea of how the shoe looked originally, please follow this link: Alden NST Blucher

Gaziano & Girling – Isham in Vintage Maple

The Gaziano & Girling Isham is a stunning shoe to behold. The handsewn apron front with skin stitched split toe is the main attraction, an extremely difficult task for even the most skilled artisans.

The GG06 Last, coupled with G&G’s Vintage Maple calfskin (which takes on a wonderful shine), makes this derby a wonderful addition to your casual wardrobe.

Isham, GG06 Last, Vintage Maple, Double Leather Sole
$1150.00

All Gaziano & Girling shoes will be sold with Lasted Mahogany Shoe Trees ($150.00 additional cost).
