Barrie

Thank you.

Barrie last with a flat welt.

Ha, these are from the stockpile and are from last year. My go-to boot.

Nice boots.

I have a similar pair - NST on commando, Plaza last, from JGilbert. They might be my favorite boots.

fwiw the thread invites a lot of deja vu, like didn't I just see that boot eight times before this sort of feelings. Am I alone on this?

One would think the spoiler function weren't working or something

^ this will never be remedied.  it's like suggesting the multi-quote. 

 

also why nobody gets thumbs here

Black shell captoe bal today.

Beautiful and seldom seen. Hampton last?

^^^ That's the shell cap toe I'm waiting for (I think).

Yes, the black shell captoe bals are the Hampton last. Quite a comfy last, with more arch support and a narrower waist than the Barrie.

I hope was hoping to get some opinions on my next purchase. I'm wanting to get a dark brown Alden wingtip boot with a commando sole. I could get Alden of Carmel's AF84 Dark Brown Calfskin boot, but I've never seen how this leather looks in person after it's been worn. I'd be insterested in a Brown CXL wingtip boot, but all I've seen is Leathersoul's with the regular sole. I already have their Ultimate Jumper in Brown CXL that I'm gonna need to have resoled with a commando sole, part of me wants to find a pair of their CXL wings and have it resoled as well. Would CXL Jumpers and CXL Wings be redundant? One pair would probably go sitting if I had two in the same exact color. How does heir normal brown calf's character stack up against the CXL?

thank you

nephew,
good looking nst boots

nephew,
good shine on your cap toe

A black shell business shoe. Wonderful to see.

Am I the only one who's digging this boot?
