Why does St. Crispins... - Page 4

Thanks fellas! This is the stock photo from their website. Mine are dark oak and have regular eyelets all the way up in place of the speed lacers. Many photos to come.

Yes - Saint Crispin's is a MTO-only business for stock models

Not necessarily.

There are retailer who keep St Crispin in stock. Which of course means, they are the models and sizes/widths that particular retailer has ordered. Diehl & Diehl in Frankfurt keeps quite a big selection, so does (I believe, never been there) Ladage & Oelke in Hamburg or Sir Max in Amsterdam. (I will be in A. at the of the month, so I"˜ll check it out.)

I had a pair of RTW St.Crispin's.

Andrew, these are way hott and beautiful boots.

but my concern for me is, the arch area is high. for me that is disaster, because with U last, same concept, the arch is too high.

looks beautiful , but when worn , my low arched feet creates space around my ankles due to the extra leather up there collapsing around my low arch

I think the spectators are really cool. The black is a little to much of a mix for me to feel comfortable wearing. Are the wovens considered one step more formal than the punched shoes? I have always hated the style, but had never seen nice ones before. The woven with a solid cap in dark brown that Vass shows is very nice.

Change the Bertoia chairs for Thonet!

They have pinched the idea for those punched leather ones off the Mapvintage ebay site methinks and the mesh ones are similar to a pair of UK John Whites mesh specs from the 1940s that were on the Bay earlier this year that someone found in Malta.

And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

I hold my manhood cheap for not owning a pair of those ridiculously gorgeous boots.

I don't like these punched plain shoes, it is too much, I think, but I really like the pair of shoes that meister posted, because it's not that visible:

Iammatt:

To which pair of woven Vass shoes do you refer?

I'd like this pair in a darker brown, I think:

Yes, exactly. I would like the model to which you linked, but in this leather:
