Looks very nice. What exactly is a translucent sole finish?

This is when the sole is just a natural tanned colour instead of the standard Gaziano & Girling finish that looks like this (darker edges and waist is also darker).

^ Thanks.

I also posted these in the shoe damage report thread. Ron Rider Chukka Boots in Chocolate Brown Suede, Goodyear Flex. I picked these up at the trunk show at leffot a few weeks back. It was great meeting Ron and chatting with him. The man definitely is passionate and knowledgeable about his shoes. Steven was great as usual.

Damn nice! I hope to see these shoes in action around Sthlm!

Is there a term for how the middle of the sole is slanted? Is that done for purely an aesthetic effect?

beveling or a fiddleback

My favorite casual pair of shoes.
Allen Edmonds Orleans in Light Tan

like that!

I really like the Orleans - I wish they still made that shoe.

I don't understand the benefit of this. Is it just aesthetic?
