Yep, plaza last from Brick + Mortar. The restock I believe is coming in on scotch grain.

So, the strangest thing happened to me this morning. I woke up early and went to the office, then the gym.....came home and did a few chores, then went upstairs.

I wore my tan suede chukkas yesterday and they were next to the bed and one of them was literally full of water.......water literally poured out of the shoe when I picked it up. I know this sounds crazy, but the water was not there when I got up this mornig and none was on the other chukka which was literally right next to it......no glass knocked over or water anywhere else on the bedside table or floor. The wife was downstairs and both kids were still asleep, so nobody has any clue what could have happened......hello X Files!

So, now I have one chukka that is pristine and another that has serious water marks......they had been sprayed with nano, but the water came from the inside of the shoe so that didn't help......please help me with what to do to get this one back into shape!

TSM Whiskey Shell LWB seconds came in. Blemish on the left shoe and bad welt join of inner right shoe. Leaning towards keeping them. Thoughts?

Spoiler

No question... Keep.

Hi guys! I received these shoes yesterday. Cap toe #8. A good price being in europe. I thought they were barrie when i ve seen the pics but i m still not sure about that Here the pics.

Strange, those look more Aberdeen to me and that makeup is typically made on the Aberdeen Last, but as others stated, that isn't the typical model number for that shoe. How do they fit? Are the TTS and fit well or are they big or did you size down and they fit nicely? Honestly, only way to know for sure is to ask the Vendor or Alden directly.

You should be, those are killer gunboats! I think a brushing session or two could get those looking perfect again!

That's really strange! Frankly, I have no clue how to help you here. Maybe shampoo them and do a deep cleaning? -Mike
