Whiskey LWB
MrDV, you can't show these shoes enough sir. Very classy!
Since joining this forum about a month ago I have been like a teenage girl (or boy) looking for an outfit to wear to the prom. My level of indecisiveness has been stunning. It's not just that I've returned (exchanged) two pair of shoes, its how many times I've seen shoes that I had to have on this site only to check back later and see another pair that were better than the first. The problem was that the idea of spending over $600 for a pair of shoes was not something I could easily wrap my head around. So, rather than spend $600+ on one pair, I spent $1,300 hundred on two, and I am completely at peace with my decision. In addition to a pair of color 8 shell Chucka's with commando soles from Alden of Carmel, I just got these cuties from epaulet of New York
I will continue to scour ebay for a rare deal on shell's but I am done with new shoe purchases for now (unless I can steal some LWB's in either whiskey or ravello). All of this does come with a question. My first instinct is to put plastic heel protectors on my shoes but I thought I read in this forum a few days ago that this can somehow compromise the integrity if the heel. I would appreciate the community's thoughts and advice on this issue.
Again, thanks to all. This really is a great community.
That's it, I'm going to bed. Devilishly stylish combo sir.
Looking terrific!
Very cool Frank! Love the Whiskey and the combination... wear in great health my friend!
Thanks gents. And Shawnc, FTFY:Stunning, I've always told myself I don't need a whiskey LWB. Currently changing my tune.
Ha ha.It takes a certain amount ofconfidenceobliviousness to pull this off. Not sure that I'm there yet but this sure looks good on you. Very nice.
Looking good MrDV.
Someone asked recently, and Uncle confirmed, that those LHS originally had a dark welt and sole edge. When Uncle had them resoled with a double leather sole (opposed to the single they were originally made with), he had the edges dressed in antique. That is why the welt is still dark, but the sole edge is antique.Uncle, great looking welt/edge trim. Question, is your gyw deck stitch black thread? It really looks dark, lot of character.
