Cdiem sizing is very consistent- for normal toe box models TTS/ bubble toe models size down 1.

brokeassp- I'm quite sure Suus.es has the MA+ staple boot you are looking for.

Layer-0 AW11-12 Cordovan boots


Devoa SS12 Horse Leather.


Anyone here handled camel leather? Seen some stuff from IS made with that.

Camel leather's one of my favorite boot leathers. Usually on the thicker and dense side, sometimes tanned such that there is some hair left within the larger pores. IME it's also really resistant to showing wear/creasing.

Interesting that there is hair left on the leather....

Here is a pair in camel leather from IS AW11-12


Wonder how the flap/covering is IRL. I would prefer the pair without it.

Ahh damn I didn't know about that place. I just checked their website -- I was 2 blocks away from it a hundred times this summer, I wish I had known about it.

Question: I have these boots and like them a lot. But sometimes I find them a bit difficult to wear because they are a greenish black, and I don't have a lot that goes well with green undertones except lighter shades of grey. So I am thinking about dying them entirely black. One concern I have is that I already have black reverse backzips (cdiem), so a pair of black reverse laceups might be redundant and not get worn much Stupid or brilliant?

Seen some pics of the upcoming 2012 MA+ footwear collection and nothing much new in the offering.......but you will be able to find staple ankle boots as they are standard production and are definitely in the line up. 


where to view ss12?
