Re: split toes, I used to feel the same way about double monks. Wait I still feel that way about double monks. Bet there's a split toe double monk out there somewhere
When I stare at pictures of split toes I am disgusted, but somehow when I'm wearing them I don't have the same reaction. I almost never see someone wearing them, which might say something too.

Should cop some black jeans (overdye or otherwise)? Pretty stupid question I guess, but I haven't owned a pair in years since I can never figure how I'm going to wear them. Maybe attributed to a lack of nice black boots/wearing jeans less because of work?

The new APC black raws are all the rage.

if you're a 46 it will likely work for you but it's yohji so meant to be oversized

does anybody know what does Embossed Moc mean? I am thinking of either going with this or the classic moc, but I am not sure if I am a fan of the white sole of the classic moc. Anybody got any other suggestions before I pull the trigger?

I agree. The flourescent white stitching makes it even worse. Even when I removed asbestos for a living I wouldn't wear those. People buy the **** out of them though!

Back to topic - embossed usually means there is some sort of design on the surface of the leather.

How do people think those moc toes look good? They are the bulkiest, ugliest boots in existence.

Any recommendation then? Just looking for a good looking casual boot for fall/winter. and please don't say Alden or Trickster, I live in a place where I can't do returns. this would be my first boot, so I want a nice entry boot. Thanks in advance!
