I also have a pair of shell boots in Mahogani from Ron Rider on a sleeker last.

God those are great!

May I ask what you paid for the boots from Ron? How did you arrange it?

iirc, martegani had an oversupply of shell last year due to a deal that fell through, so ron arranged for people to do special orders. i don't know if these are one of those, but a number of forumites got MTO shoes and boots through Ron.

Has anyone noticed the guy with JL boots for 10k on Ebay?

would cigar shell chukkas look good with a navy suit? or would it look too light of a brown?

Cigar goes really well with navy.
