Ravello is pretty smashing.  I'm equally wow'ed by ravello and cigar! Not a huge fan of whiskey.

Great boots, frank. Straight tip color 8 captoe is the way to go

I agree, they won't sell. He has only 26 feedbacks and in all but one he was the buyer, not seller. He doesn't know what he's doing.

thank you
the boots are on the plaza last

i know leather soul did this shoe once and it was the Leydon last (which i hope this is). but the LS version did not have a storm welt as this does, and I can't find any other store that did this model, let alone with a storm welt.
thoughts?

nephew,
ls version was on the plaza last and the style #89518

Also thought I'd post a copy of the insert Frans Boone sends that describes return policies, which seem pretty good to me. This may be on their site somewhere, but I haven't looked.

wear in good health

What stitching are you referring? I don't think the stitching determines the last, nor does the last determine the stitching.

Probably more like whatever the merchant specifies for the make-up is what Alden does.

We have confirmation from Alden themselves that those cigar Indy boots at the Alden San Francsico store are Barrie last, along with a couple of people who have gone there in person and tried them on all confirming Barrie last...

I don't have to wear suits anymore.  Jeans, chino's blazers ...Thoughts cousins?

I have the shell rainbow in chukkas. icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

Given your post above, I would recommend cigar, then ravello. nod[1].gif

Has anyone had any transaction with http://jgilbertfootwear.com before? How was it? I am lookng at buying a pair of Alden boots designed by them but communication stopped after 2 emails regarding getting the right size for the boots. I was going to provide my credit card details for the purchase but am unsure if I should go ahead as providing credit card details coupled with the poor communication seems rather risky.
