BIP, what size do you wear?

DeNs415, you've got mail!
I'm a 9 - 9.5. Will occasionally stretch to a 10 - mostly in highs or mids.

I agree. However you feel about reselling - anybody willing to pay a grand for those things deserves to get got. I'd feel no guilt - it's like in prison; rapists get raped. But, I'd only do it if it was almost no effort to do so.

very nice, phase2x! really like the look with the white midsole stitching. so many id selections are grouped together, it always keeps me away from doing them. hopefully the white supreme option is there for march

Hey fellas, I've got a question I would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on...
I've got a pair of White/Caro Sheeds from a while ago that are in pretty good shape but the patent leather is very dull, like it lost its luster. I searched Google for ways to try and restore it but for every solution someone proposed it seemed like others were saying it was ultimately not good for the patent leather. I tried "waxing" them with some Vaseline as I saw a lot of people recommended that and no one really said it would damage the shoes, but it didn't work very well and faded again after the first wear.
Do any of y'all have techniques for re-shining patent leather? Any insight would be much appreciated.
By the way, I lurk this thread all the time and y'all have had it poppin' the last few months!

No problem, Jae. Glad to be of help.
I love getting vintage stuff with evidence of the price at which it was last sold. I have a '95 navy canvas pair that just says $44.99 across the box. ...I wish I had the receipts for $49.99 AJ IIIs from '94 and 1/2 price Infrared VIs from 2000 to really blow these kids' minds...
MPLS - Restoration is not my strongsuit, but I don't really know of any tried and true techniques. Has anybody tried Armor All products? Funny you bring up the white patent Sheeds. I was just looking at a pair the other day and thinking to myself, how come these are perfectly pristine and the Columbia XIs are so hard to find un-yellowed?... I know we're talking a few years difference in production date, but they look like they were made decades from one another.

jae... those look SO much cleaner in your pics than they did in the auction pics. i really should've bid on those, but i'm glad you got them, and that you're stoked about them. i've seen many size 10 pairs and a couple of 10.5 pairs of those over the years (used to own one of each, actually), but never an 11 in that condition. congrats on the score.

I was being sarcastic as well... bad execution-
Damn Jae, those do look better than the pics, wish I bid now.
Got my shipping confirmation today, my ID should be here on the 1st. Hopefully they don't get stuck in customs like last time.
