Talk about shoos can save the day and save the man, Shooey.No, those days are long gone. No more cuddly softy ole Fritzy, now just a man hardened and made bitter by life.

....Fritzl I remember well from FNB. To me he was a good, knowledgeable and interesting poster on the topic of shoes. He was a Big Grandaddy.
I hope he is just having a laugh and will soon be conversing with Shooey as in the old days.
But should shoes be "soft as butter and fit like a glove"?
He's right when it comes to women. Sammy Ambrose frequently gets approving comments from female colleagues that he is 'smart from head to toe '. Women definitely pay attention to shoes.
Haha.Women don't like Vass in my experience, they can't comprehend it. Another lady said, lets get those shoes off (Vass F last) and get you into something better., Zegna xxx derbies with a sharp toe
Fritzl used to love jokes as much as he did teaching the world about Project Paprika.Sorry Fritzl, l know it is a sick joke and you probably won't like it, but l am just playing trying to amuse the average bloke with the tired old jokes.
well, than my work is done ..., here. teach/inform, at least it's your mother tongue.Fritzl used to love jokes as much as he did teaching the world about Project Paprika.
to be fair, it was always operation paprika. voxsartoria, iammatt and even manton called it a cause. gives me a sign, where to put my money, not?Project Paprika.
Yes. Operation and not project.to be fair, it was always operation paprika. voxsartoria, iammatt and even manton called it a cause. gives me a sign, where to put my money, not?
well, if getting laid is an ambition, gucci or ferragamo horse-bits would take the lead ..., probably.As the mighty Grayson (Marc Grayson) once said, "you won't get laid in Vass"

Nah, it's our old friend fritzl/walker/Gerd Michael Wermescher. Austrian village idiot who seems to be off his meds again. Looking for an unwashed peasant with a know-it-all attitude on all things shoes, constant anger issues and a penchant for cheap provocation? He's your guy.
actually, I like the big picture of them, particularly the last shape plus the heel height and size ratio.
which colours does shinki offer?
phew, the information flow of shinki is still static and/or pathetic. bummer, their business model is not for shoe hides, unfortunately.Shinki is a Japanese tannery specializing in some really amazing horse hides in analine, veg and chrome tanned leathers as well as popular pigment died (‘teacore’) hides. They mostly seem to sell to the vintage leather jacket manufacturers. While the range of colours in other leathers is pretty wide, I’ve only ever seen the above brown (Viberg did a limited run) and a black in the horsebutt.
Benzein is a one-man (with some family helping in the front of the shop) operation from Indonesian doing custom, made to order boots. What hides he has available at any one time can vary a lot.

fwiw, I'd rather have shinki than horween. the latte doesn't appeal to me.

It’s way nicer, though Horween CXL is great as a practical, water-resistant work or outdoor sports boot.

Hello! My name is Masaichi Hasegawa and I am the Founding Partner and Director of Asia Pacific of Gaziano and Girling Limited.
Since my last trip to Sydney and Melbourne was extremely successful and now that Australia is open, I wanted to visit Sydney and Melbourne to hold trunk shows in late September.
However, I need to know that there is enough interest before booking the trip.
Should you be interested in attending our trunk show, please send me your interest to masaichi@gazianogirling.com. My tentative plan is to hold a trunk show in Sydney on the 16,17,18 of September, and Melbourne on the 20, 21, 22 of September.
Again, my email address is masaichi@gazianogirling.com.
Please send me your interest with which city you are from, your mobile number, and your shoe size.
Yours faithfully,
Masiachi Hasegawa
Gaziano and Girling Limited

Those are the monkeyest monkey boots I have ever seen. Wearers should not be surprised if passers by throw them bananas.I’m not into monkey boots at all, but the colour depth on the Shinki leather is just superb:
The woodsman heel is all wrong for a service boot:
What’s a woodsman heel? That just looks like it’s a normal heel.
I’m gonna guess they’d be around $700 shipped, MTO.The cognac is gorgeous. How much do those boots cost?
Look at how this great shoemaker describes himself,Shooey.Discovery of a great shoemaker in Rome:
Or perhaps Sammy Ambrose doesn't. I had always thought the term was restricted to repair. Merriam Webster, however, includes 'making'.Look at how this great shoemaker describes himself,Shooey.
"Representing the epitome of the cobbling craft, our Bespoke creations remain a creative opportunity to design your dream shoe. "
He doesn't seem to know what 'cobbling' means.

But setting that aside, how do we know this guy is any good. Can we believe him and Crompers?
What do you guys use to clean your shoes and sneakers?
