Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II - Page 713

I don't like the pebble grain leather on those veldt boots -- it looks very artificial, more so than other pebbled grain leathers that I've seen here. Probably it was chosen to make the boots more waterproof. I bet it looks good with cords/tweeds/moleskin trousers in autumn/winter.

A long time to wait but . . .

well, i appreciate your feelings towards your supplier. after all you're in europe frequently. there's just a little step out of your comfort zone, imo. stop buying soulless shit, if i may say.

i can't tell you, if it's better. it's just more rewarding(think of your AS medaillon), imo

You always speak your mind - and I respect your opinions. I like a variety of shoes. The Sargent's Chay made for me with the Boar's head medallion are special to me in a unique way. Made by a friend with a family symbol, they cannot be duplicated, and if they are, they lose their meaning. I love EGs, but you know I love many of the shoes from your neighborhood. Someone once told me that all black shoes are soulless--some definitely are, but many are beautiful. Different shoes different rewards.

too hot and too much porn the last 2 pages compared to these but I really like this pair a lot, I love the shape of the 341 last and it fits so well and comfortable. it's a shame they don't have it in the handgrades.

Posted in the C&J thread.

Haven't posted in a minute. Got a few pm's hoping i'd keep it up. No worried, not discouraged by a few strong (yet closed-minded) negative opinions. Just busy, as the recent SF "back & forth" has drummed up a few serious Vintage Shoe clients. Anyway...

1930's Edwin Clapp, Seal & Calf oxford wingtips. Very G&G in the design (as in elegant & pushing the envelope simultaneously), I'd say... or is it the other way around?

Those are pretty. I like the contrast of texture and colour and i like the toe shape, actually. Any pics of the bottom work?

Thanks, gentlemen. Very glad these are bringing some enjoyment. Sadly, they were too large for me. However, a good friend in Germany will be wearing them in a few days, so they will be worn & enjoyed (as all good vintage shoes should be)! DWFII, of course your seal of approval is ALWAYS much appreciated. I committed the cardinal sin on these... they left me before I took a proper and FULL set of pics. However, they are the traditional Clapp 30's closed channel sole... much like these...
