Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II - Page 706

The last pair is the Archdale by Barker Black.

PB I am with you. I hate the topys and I have never had a problem with the metal toe covers on the front of the shoe scratching the floor. Ocassionally, by accident, they scratch the front of my bosses desk.

If thats the worst thing that happens on that side of the desk, you're doin alright.

I would have to agree with that, Spoo. However, I am hoping he doesn't check out some of the slice marks.

 

thanks, had a look but I'm not seeing any  flip flops, more's the pity

 

 

pics of US bespoke very welcome -  love to see some of Vogel's work e.g.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for sharing this B.  I, for one, make no judgements.

My new AS Handgrade model Blake Last AS 53 Size 6F

Wear them in good health... also let me know when you're tired of them since I'm also an AS 6F

I have a question. If it is a Wednesday and really humid, is it ok to use lasted shoe trees? Because the leather should be a bit swollen due to the moisture in the air and it might stretch out the shoes too much. Of course, if there is percipitation in the air on a Wendesday one shouldn't use trees at all, however if it is a Saturday during the winter, the dryness would require the use of lasted trees, correct? But, what about if the axis of the earth is changing like in spring and it is a Friday and not humid yet like in August, should I use lasted or regular trees, if regular how tight should they be that the dryness won't crack the leather, or over stretch the shoe?

Picked these up today at Saks in NYC.





Model is the Belphegor - A Ghillie version of the Arca.

They have a nice style selection (about 8 styles including a black Arca with red piping accents; an Arca monk; an Arca ankle boot; an Arca Chelsea boot)
