Maiden voyage of my Leffot perf. cap CXL's. Denim is still stretching/wearing and thus the massive jailers cuff.

great family pix guys!!

Ironically, I'm thinking of paring down drastically.

I already did - I will post a family photo soon. Now slowly building back up in a very methodical way

Amazing collection. Love the Color 4 NST and Whiskey Wingtip boots. Thanks for posting!

@chrisefi That is a superb collection of boots. You have all 4 of the boots still on my rare shell "TO GET" list, the Cigar and Ravello WTB, Cigar Indy and Ravello CT. Mighty jealous!!

Thanks! They're all obtainable with some time. Get on the lists and they'll show up right when you least expect it (and when the $ is needed elsewhere haha). You'll love the shell Indy boots - they're so comfortable!

A great looking collection Chris! Good balance of boots but you need more shoes. Fit is key and selling non fitting is the right thing no matter how hard they were to get... Good collection my friend, you need more black and Color 8! -Mike

Thanks Mike! I think I'm getting close to dialing it in. Boot socks make D width fine on most boots. It's getting my shoe sizing right I'm struggling with, but almost there thanks to your help!

Great boots but, even more, you're doing some great work over there.  We need more people like you making us look good overseas. Thanks!

Thank you for your kind words.

 

[Explorer]



awesome. i really like that boot. i would buy it if i didn't already have something very similar.

Thank you!

Ignore the socks, NST's from the seconds list.
