I just received my Anniversary shoes from Leffot - the EG Westminister (double monk) in navy shell on the 888. They are very dark - look black unless you really look at them. First person I showed them to inspected them about two feet from their face and didn't realized they were blue until I said something. The creasing starts to show some hints of lighter blue. They are going to age very nicely.

Good stuff! I saw a pair at the shop a while back and they looked fantastic. I wouldn't be surprised if they lighten up a bit over time. I'm sure you're correct that they'll age nicely. Wear them well!

no more mr. nice shoe

I am a fan of the Dover but that is not a good looking shoe. Apologies but if that is what you want you can buy a $100 pair of hush puppies and they will look better.

My latest purchases, a bit different than the classical choices here:

Mr. Hare Miller brown cap toes from Oki-Ni, received this morning (24 hours delivery, impressed)

Tricker's Bourton green brogues from My-Wardrobe

Lodger Parker forest green derbies from Asos

Santoni Club sneakers from B&M CH (Bon Genie)

Does this sole curvature seem to be way too much?

Looks like the camera angle is just low. Note how the far edge of the shelf appears higher than the leading edge.

That said, some lasts will have more bottom radius than others...often more for aesthetic reasons than functional.

And overzealous bottom filling, especially in the case of GY, might create a bulging forepart, as well.

Slightly higher angle...

Very useful info as usual (if you don't mind further educating what is meant by 'shelf' pls) many thanks

^ I like that model. The toecap nicely balances out the balmoral.
