I think Oki emailed me the full list about a month or so ago.

You just put your order in a month ago, or you got an update with the full list a month ago? I think when I placed my order there were about 3 or 4 other models being offered at the same time. I thought at least one of them was a Plaza last #8 shell boot, but I couldn't remember the rest of the details.

suede ptb x jcrew

ugh I want these...

 

[sevenfoldtieguy]



I really like the sleek modern look of the Plaza last but am concerned it may look too dressy. Do any owners of boots on the Plaza (preferably #8) wear these with denim? Or is it typically with a dressier pant?

My color 8 boots on the Plaza last:

1. NST
2. WT
3. plaintoe
4. captoe

I wear them all with denim (and, of course, many other things). I highly recommend any of them.

Unless otherwise noted yes. I've seen 1 or 2 done on other lasts I believe but it's not common

I'm interested to order Brown wingtip boots from Alden of Carmel.

Does anyone own such pair? I'd like to see it how it turns out. Thank you, gentlemen!

 

[Steel28]



yep, all the time.

These PT boots on Plaza look amazing.

I am waiting on this same pre-order. The CXL LHS was offered at the same time and was released last month. Leffot seems to have this same makeup in stock and I am a bit frustrated by the lack of response.

I love LS but sometimes I really don't understand them from a customer service standpoint. I have bought multiple pairs of shoes from them yet when I ask for an upcoming list I am told it doesn't exist, yet Bespoken PA just mentioned getting one from Oki

When did the preorder for these start? I got in on a pre-order for a pair of tan suede longwings from LS in January of 2012. I was hoping those would be ready for this summer.

Both, when I received the list the pre orders for the plaza cap toe and Indy were limited so I made an executive decision and placed an order.

Perhaps it's my winning personality or maybe it was the 14k John lobb croc monks I ordered. I'd like to think it's my personality.

I wear my #8 Plaza boots with both dress trousers and denim/khakis. Extremely versatile last, IMO.

Humpday calls for Color4 Captoe boots (barrie last) with some happy socks. Keep pushing to Friday gentlemen.
