Shouldn't this poll be asking what proportion of your collection is shell? In Andrew's case it will be about 5% I imagine.

It seems like the ratio of shell to calf shoes is low. I have 20% of mine in shell. Planning to get it up to 30% soon.

No; the base rate is too low. It's different for suede.

Hopefully as in "I hope they don't discontinue them before I get around to buying them" or hopefully as in "I hope that bespoke maker will agree to working with shell for me"? Details, sir!

Those photos you take of your Aldens are great. I should buy those for my first pair.
