...Just found you blog today, and I love it a lot. <br /><br />I found a pair of really nice shoes, Florsheim as well, the other day, and think they need to be looked at. Where can I find your cobbler?<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration.<br /><br />PerPer Jacobsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236751340642764492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-55867926235742351202009-08-02T13:38:18.208-07:002009-08-02T13:38:18.208-07:00Classic post, I LOVE it!! ;-)Classic post, I LOVE it!! ;-)Speedmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193689033214490178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-27150914497526525832009-07-12T09:05:19.179-07:002009-07-12T09:05:19.179-07:00Its great you have a cobbler you can trust. I hav...Its great you have a cobbler you can trust. I have always said that you should have "a guy" for everything. A guy that cuts your hair, a guy that does your taxes, or a guy that does your shoes. But your cobbler is correct. Using cedar shoe trees can protect the leather, fabric, stitching, and soles of your shoes by absorbing moisture, acid and salts. Cedar trees smooth out linings and insoles making shoes more comfortable to wear. Cedar trees smooth out creases and wrinkles that prematurely age leather. <br /><br />And lastly, when looking for cedar shoe trees, use solid toe as oppose to split toe.A True Gentlemenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616444625964771843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-19497071318474525672009-03-27T11:25:00.000-07:002009-03-27T11:25:00.000-07:00I need to find a cobbler like that in my area.

Sorry about the sickness going around. <BR/><BR/>I think that picture of you holding the beaten shoe is one of the best pictures I've seen in a while. Jacket cuff, shirt cuff, double row of nails, v-cleat, and years of wear.<BR/><BR/>Absolutely classic.<BR/><BR/>ConorChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530840266353044781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-56676603445394469302009-03-25T15:47:00.000-07:002009-03-25T15:47:00.000-07:00hope life calms down!

Our 3 year old little girl got sick, then our 1 year old got it, then I got it and spent 3 days hallucinating on the bathroom floor. It's rough around here.<BR/><BR/>Hope the little teensy one stays healthy through it!<BR/><BR/>Wishes for wellness from Canada.<BR/><BR/>-JeffUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02128753482865916292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-63639894792472464052009-03-25T06:42:00.000-07:002009-03-25T06:42:00.000-07:00I, amongst many I'm sure, feel your pain.

Hang in there.<BR/><BR/>Also, in this same vain, I have purchased a few pairs of shoes vintage recently and taken them to a local cobbler. I think your quote hits the nail right on the head. Plus, they are about 20% of the cost of the same shoe new. Fantastic.Turlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466952089423973036noreply@blogger.com
