Today is a good day for Black Shell...

the scuffs happened today...I gave them a solid brushing before I left...but its a cruel, cruel World.

You guys are torturing me with all this ravello.
Also +1 on the lighter edge trim for me. My Cigars sport the same one and I'm SOLD.

I think the lighter edge trim works better with the cigar because of the contrast. With ravello, I think it falls more under personal preference. My personal preference is to have both.

I run like a girl when it rains and I'm wearing shell lol

The reason I keep an extra set of overshoes in the office.

black polish might alleviate this. I've scuffed my shell footwear enough times but polish (cream or wax both worked in my experience) blended it well enough for me.

Cigar LWB today. I will be picking up a Cigar Medallion Cap Toe after work today. 5:00 can't come soon enough.

Is cigar the new ravello today?

 

[Profligate47]



The way I walk seems to put a lot of wear on the toes of my Aldens, and all pairs that I own have this same trait, but this pair has it the worst. Will toe taps fix this issue?



I've only worn these five times, it would be a massive shame to have to do a premature recraft.

Best to see Nick at B Nelson, NYC, for steel toe taps IMO

jealous of all the Ravello today....if anyone wants some Ravello in their life and can find it in their size, do not hesitate. There seems to be a Ravello shortage and it might be a while before we see any new offerings in this color shell any time soon.

More cigar for a beautiful day in San Francisco. Stopped by Alden SF during lunch and had to restrain myself from opening the wallet....

For me, Plaza vis-a-vis length and volume.

Thank you, having a hard time deciding between a ravello LWB and a Cigar cap toe, sadly need to choose 1.

Yes, buy my listed LWB!

It is a nice color and can't wait for my day tripper...
