          They reminded me a bit of these vintage Alden's:

                        Crazy how each batch of shells comes out a different shade.  Beautiful stuff.  I'm still waiting on some whiskeys so I have a light pair to mix in with the no 8s

                            New laces on my Indy's. I'm digging the contrast of the blue.

                                my thoughts as well…those socks are pretty perfect when rocking with boots

                                  Just wondering how do you guys keep shell cordovan crease free and looking so shiny. Does using shoe tree help in preventing the creases from setting in?

                                  I know creases will appear on all leather shoes with more usage but for dressier shoes, I prefer to keep them looking spanking new.

                                    talking about creases…is there a way to remove them or make them less pronounced?
                                    would be interesting to know. thanks!

                                          Using shoe trees will reduce creases and wrinkles.  Put them in at the end of the day after you take them off and give the shoes a quick wipe down with a damp cloth to remove the day's grime.  Takes only a few minutes and will help keep them looking good and lasting longer.  Trees also help your footwear hold their shape and allow the interior to dry out faster, which keeps the leather from breaking down as quickly over time.

                                          We pay hundreds of dollars for nice shoes and boots, why not spend an extra $20 to preserve them?
