Nice! Those new? I have the exact same model. I do have to admit my EG DMs get in the way of wearing my Williams.

Edit: Opened the boxes up

Great looking shoes and boots, Congrats!!

Just love the redness of the austerity brogues; drooling with envy

just an fyi for those interested, spoke with a SA at JL NY and there were two pairs i was given info on:
cavendish 7.5EE black 7000 last
langton 8EE black 1105 last

iirc the cavendish was $850 and the langton ~$560

Might be able to proxy for you.

Thanks, already found that Chambord II shoes are not on sale

The Chambord II boots in dark brown and tobacco suede to go with the pebble grain ones I got at the last sale!

Andrew - do the Boots come with Trees?

Nope (hope you don't mind getting the answer from another source). You can buy their trees separately though.

Both! I really like the Meleze Buffalo but it's has the SAR soles... argh... I might still get it anyway...

 

[NAMOR]

sar is rubber

edit - sar is jls equivalent of a commando sole

I know... I'm talking myself out of it because I really don't need another pair of JL, or boots, or NST, or pebble, or rubber soled, etc...

You normalizing it is not helping

 

[HRoi]

nobody here really NEEDS anything...

 

[sevenfoldtieguy]

They are boots and were on 8000 IIRC.

Taxes suck!!!!

BTW, nice pickups DD!

Thanks man. Do you have experience with 8000 last? How does it fit in comparison to 7000?

Same size for me. I probably like the 7000 slightly better.
