Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II

Today, I received a package from Alfred Sargent. Carroll loafers w/o the tassel:

Fantastic! I like the hinged trees also.

Thanks guys.

Fiddler, yep, the loafers are in espresso calf.

Sinnedk, you could email Chay Cooper at AS, or, if you're in NYC this week, you could order them at the trunk show going on.

Kolecho, the trees are nifty. These are my first pair of lasted trees. They're so snug, they fit like the shoes were made on the trees themselves.

Was looking for something a little "fun" and decided on a pair of navy suede tassels (so shoot me).

Was very impressed with these by Massimo Dutti. Not bad for the price (although in Russia they are a little more expensive). I was pleasantly surprised.

Great boots emptym.

Goddamn do you old fogeys need to learn how to use spoiler tags when quoting posts with pictures...

I wonder if 'a fine pair of shoes' would have them....those loafers are the epitome of louche.

The As website says 'hacked by hacker'...who the hell hacks a shoe website?

Modified Holburn boot in shell cordovan, with an 3 inches or so of height and a bellows tongue for increased water resistance:

Both are wonderful, but I'm amazed by how soft and supple the boots are. They slip on and off much easier than I'd imagined. More here in the AS handgrade pic thread.

Love the boots!

I would love to see these in 10 years time all patinated etc

Great looking boots.

Made by Jan Petter Myhre of Norway. Not a pair of mine, but I want to play a game: who can guess the grainy leather's origin?

Elephant Calf, born or unborn, I don't know and am afraid to guess.

Cross-pollinating from the Vass Appreciation thread: Old English II in bordeaux calf, F-last.

Lattanzi 'shoe Appreciation'

That can't be a real model.

^^I believe Lattanzi has produced penile footwear in honor of Gabriele d'Annunzio, who had one naughty pair made back in his days. This pair can be visited in d'Annunzio's museum, Il Vittoriale.
