How many of you are into shoes... (Dress Shoes)?

[beancooker]

So long before my watch addiction, I was into shoes. I have quite a collection and are wondering how many other forum members are into shoes?

Most of my shoes I have stripped, recolored and added a patina to. A few pairs were beautiful enough from the factory that I kept them stock.

I also decided a year or so ago that I needed a shoe specific closet inside my front door. It's deep enough for a large shoe and holds 18+ pairs.

So here are some pics to get this thread started...

Louis Vuitton Derby


Santoni


Magnani before color


Magnani after coloring/patina


Allen Edmonds with a proper shine


J Fitzpatrick the day they arrived from England


A different pair of Magnani after coloring and patina (first pair I ever did)


Scarpe di Bianco


A third pair of Magnani recolored/patina




Bontoni




Riccardo Bestetti (one of the most amazing shoes ever made) Also my Holy Grail of shoes!


The shoe closet I built...


Yes, that is an Oakley display case behind me... Sunglasses are an addiction too. Collecting for 25+ years...
