would prefer to see a bal boot in a lighter calfskin. This + danite sole would be good for a Mar-May, Sept-Nov boot.

I just think people are thinking longer term. any shell boot in lighter color will take > 1 year to deliver , if it's possible at all. and if you are gonna wait that long and spend so much $$, might as well get exactly what you want, even if it happens to arrive a few months too soon/late than is ideal

I don't get the boot fixation at all. Time for a nice dress shoe that could go with a suit or with jeans.

This SW&D, where people like cordovan boots, but I do think we need some diversity, which is why I support a nice shoe in calf

You can get away with some boots in the summer (lighter colors, etc) but for the most part i'm in loafers, mocs, desert boots in the summer. There seem to be no shortage of cordovan loafers (Alden, Ralph Lauren), suede loafers (a huge varieyt of brands), moccasins (Quoddy, Oak St, etc) and desert boots (again, large variety) for the summer though. I guess custom boots are rarer.

Boot in shell

Dress shoe in calf

Those two options seem most popular

you can find rtw dress shoes from all makers that will probably be similar to any idea this group comes up with. it's more difficult to find shell boots in the rarer colors in a style you like.

I think the balmoral boot is quite rare. Add chestnut or saddle cordovan to it and you'll likely never see it again (unless you pay the single order premium). I prefer no hooks as I've had enough trouser hems ripped up. Dainite makes them useful in the winter for me.

Good call to narrow this down.

I appreciate the explanation...not being a balmoral boot wearer I had no idea that they are rare.

How about a dress shoe in a lighter colored calf, on a sleek last like the Rain with a rams-head medallion? Do it as a whole-cut.
