New Arrived】Brift H GUARANTEED SHOES
Brift H GUARANTEED SHOES" are certified pre-owned shoes that are inspected one by one by Brift H's craftsmen for proper care and repair before being sold.
We, Brift H, are a group of craftsmen who polish and repair shoes.
We are happy to extend the life of leather shoes in the world, polish them beautifully, and give them a new lease of life, and we devote ourselves to it on a daily basis.
We believe that the charm of leather shoes lies in "nurturing" them.
New leather shoes are of course very attractive, but they cannot compare to the charm of leather shoes that have been worn and polished to perfection.
It may be like the difference between the sparkling good looks of a young idol and that of an actor who has grown older and has developed an austerity and a unique aura. Both are still attractive, but the aging of leather shoes is someone who has a mature coolness that a small boy does not have. I think it is like Koji Yakusho, Hiroyuki Sanada, or Brad Pitt.
This time, I would like to introduce two pairs of great shoes that are too cool to be called such used shoes.
JOHN LOBB's LOPEZ is a loafer that any leather shoe lover would adore. This pair of LOPEZ is estimated to be about 30 years old, before John Lobb set up its own factory.
It is handwritten "9005 6 1/2E 310 LOPEZ". These were the days when CROCKETT&JONES was making these shoes. Shoe lovers know that most of the shoes were made by C&J before they set up their own factory. The top line was made by a wonderful Italian shoe manufacturer called BONORA, which has never been seen before. And the cottage line, a casual line, was made by PARABOOT.
Of course, the current LOPEZ shoes are great, but the ones made in those days have a different aura...a sense of weight that is hard to describe in words. The quality of the leather is also outstanding, and the thickness and the fineness of the surface are extraordinary. I think the difference in leather is the biggest difference.
Brift H certified used shoes are inspected and any parts that need repair are repaired in a way that suits the shoe. In this case, the toe and the heel were worn out, so they were repaired.
The worn toes are reinforced with leather. Steel is then attached on top of that. Goodyear shoes have a hard sole, so the toe wears out quickly, so it is standard practice to attach a steel to the sole. The sole itself should be quite soft, but we did this repair so that the shoes can be worn with confidence.
The cuff was also worn out and has already been replaced. This is a bit geeky, but JOHN LOBB used a key-shaped heel part called "DOVE Tail" in those days, so the same part is used here.
There are no scratches on the entire pair, and I would heartily recommend them to anyone who has the right size, as they are an aged pair that could be called a miracle for JOHN LOBB shoes of this age.
This is a pair of beautiful semi-square 888 lasts. The size is also 6 1/2E, the same size as the aforementioned JOHN LOB, but the owners are completely different people.
I guessed from the old logo on the insock that these were probably made 10-15 years ago, so I can't say they are vintage, but the leather is still in good shape, and I'd say they are in their late 20's. The leather is still in good condition, so we can look forward to the aging process in the future.
The wrinkles are also beautiful. Personally, I think that a pair of black plain toes is a pair that every man should have. Generally speaking, straight-tip shoes are the most formal shoes, but black plain-toes are the most formal pair, except for enamel and opera pumps.
The toe cap is for reinforcement and is designed to be worn outside, but these plain toes do not have a reinforced toe, which means that they are indoor shoes. This means that they are more formal than straight-tip shoes.
The soles have also undergone the necessary repairs. Solid all-black specification. The kakato is replaced with a leather heel and the front half is fitted with rubber. We chose this specification because we want you to wear them a lot in the business scene even though they are formal.
Another nice feature is that they come with genuine shoe trees. The future of a shoe will depend on whether or not it is fitted with shoe trees that match the wooden pattern. We are especially happy to have genuine shoe trees for shoes made by manufacturers like EDWARD GREEN, who are particular about the lasts of their shoes.
In addition to these two pairs of shoes, there are many other shoes that we have carefully modified one by one, so please take a look at "GUARANTEED SHOES".
Lastly, we are also offering an "After Care Ticket" that allows you to have your shoes polished for free for six months with your purchase. We hope you will take advantage of it as well.
