Dexter Long Wing Bluchers Before & After w/ Patina

Today's video features a pair of Long Wing Bluchers made in the USA by Dexter. Dexter shoe company made shoes in the USA from 1958 to 2001, and although they seemed to produce what would be considered mid-grade shoes, they are actually still desirable by today's standards as many of them use fairly good quality leather, leather soles, and are Goodyear Welted. I don't believe they ever made any shell cordovan shoes, but I could be wrong about that.
