I have sold off most of my AE collection, and have moved on to other brands. But the shell trunk show always grabs my attention.

I also largely swore off used shell because I've had pairs crack on me.

But then my size twin Nick Papagiorgio reached out about these lightly worn shell Freeports. And for a great price. So I couldn't say no.

Perfect fit, and I'll take them for their maiden voyage during the next snow fall.

All a
It's an acquired taste but then I have 3 bikes, so I have a number of moto boots (real ones) so maybe I'm just used to the look.

I have the same feeling on Monkey Boots, just not my thing.
All a matter of taste of course. Completely agree with you on the monkey boots. Don't tell Crafty I said that though - I hear he quite likes them.

I have a pair of Bodileys Westminster Balmoral boots made by Cheaney. They are on the 11028 Last and have a very wide shaft. Does anyone have any advice (apart from just wearing thicker socks) about anything that can be done to reduce the circumference of the shaft?

You can put thick moleskin on the sides to take up some volume
