Ravello LWB

The Ravello's are real nice. It's the argyle socks that kick it up a notch.

+1

Lest the sock/sweater coordination go unnoticed!

The purple goes well with the ravello too!

Nicely done!

I really prefer the profile of the Nassau over the Dover.
The single leather sole suits it.

Well, I ordered it! In color 8.

I love the brass eyelets; amazing how much that one little change changes the appearance

Santa's been to my office! Or at least the UPS guy has. But I like to call him "Santa" when he drops off boxes like this:

show what's in the box!!

Well, the Alden bug has officially taken hold of me. Thanks to you guys and your awesome pictures and advice, I could no longer contain myself to lurking status and have instead been beset by one of the worst shopping sprees I can remember going on, the fruits of which I've decided to post about.

My apologies for the crappy iPhone pics, but I got a patient cancellation and am thinking about Aldens instead of doing progress notes. Here is yesterday's booty, the Color 8 975s sent by CitiShoes. The Indy's came the same day and are the Ultimate Indy's from LeatherSoul Beverly Hills (I'm loving the Commando soles!). I'm going with the Mac break-in procedure and am having fun researching shoe care products on the Hanger Project site.

I'll post more pics later, but in the midst of last Friday's snow storm, the UPS folks delivered J.Crew's brown CXL LWBs and the snuff suede LWBs. I feel like I want to change shoes between each patient I'm seeing...

I didn't understand it before the packages arrived, but I can now see how it feels like one can never have enough of these darn shoes!

Quick question: Has anyone used colored laces on their Indy's? I stopped by the mall today and picked up red Benjos laces, but can't tell if they should go back or not...

Thanks, my fellow addicts!!

We will have to agree to disagree on this point.

But a great shoe nevertheless.

Thank you, sir.

These are great looking! I keep almost pulling the trigger on these. I have the tan suede longwings so I can decide if they would overlap or not
