    Excellent, thank you! Now that you mention it I've seen the term "perf. cap toe" plenty of times, guess it never stuck.

    Thank you for the tip! I'll do some investigating! I have a couple random questions: On the Leffot cap toe boots I originally posted, the cap has the row of circular cutouts, what is this called? Another shoe styling term I'm not sure of is the zig-zag cut edges such as on Alden's LWBs, what...

    Thanks for the tip! You're right though, something about those look off to me. Maybe it's how bent upwards the toe is?

    Ahh, thank you. I've been traveling for the past week for work. Have been behind on this thread and sometimes getting caught up on such an active thread can be overwhelming. To somewhat contribute to the subject, everyone is saying that color #8 noticeably darkens over time. I have a ~3 year...

    Uncle, When you say MTO, do you mean in the same vein as when a retailer does a custom run? Or do you mean true, one-off pair MTO direct from Alden? Thank you

    These are absolutely stunning! I confess I'm not a big fan of grain leathers usually, but these make the details of the LWB pop!!! I'm not at all familiar with the makeup, but it looks like the more reddish Ravello of ~2012-2013.
