You are an absolutely HUGE shoo addict Meister. You are completely and utterly addicted!!! You're like Mr Pollock...you never stop buying shoos mate! lt is certainly easy to keep on buyin' `em. l remember in the late 1990's buying 20 pair in one year, at an average of $500 - $600 a pop it certainly added up in those days. l was a crazy bugger back then...just kept on buyin' `em and buyin' `em.

Keep on being addicted Meister. You too Isshy.

Hey thanks for the heads up on places for me to visit for shoes guys. And yeah, everyone may want long wing, but that doesn't make them any less awesome. Did they have any double soled shoes there?

And I knew it fxh, you are totally a motorhead guy.

Good cum back fxh. We'll always be more shoo aware and sophisticated than those yobbo types from Sydney.

"What has happened to The Shooman" people will start asking. They say "he never comes home anymore since he's become a shoo salesmen, he is on call 24 hours a day".

My first pair of brogues came not from Grace Bros but from Gowings, now also defunct. They were made in Poland and, despite being an el cheapo model, had a beautiful coarse grain. They had a double sole and stitched welt.


Ditto but I found mine on the Corso at Manly. My 1/2 Polish mate told me about them and I got a pair. Pure comfort and lasted for years. I still see some pop up in the thrifts.
