    I’ve had my eye on a pair of the St.C from Skoak that Cleav was showing above for a very long time. I happened to see Skoak refilled some sizes, and I went for it. They just arrived today. Excellent fast service from Skoak, and the shoes are even more beautiful in real life. Very happy customer...

    I’d also like to say I’ve had some rather dreadful experiences with Enzo Bonafé lasts. I love the 946 last although it doesn’t seem to be very popular. However, when I’ve ventured to others lasts I was very sorry. A recent much anticipated purchase in a different last resulted in cut heels and...

    (For the record, not belittling Carmina at all. Just not familiar with the brand and had too many brands in rotation to try to learn a new one. But I can’t totally empathize with those who love a brand only to have it pulled away)

    Carmina Schmarmina. Anyway I’m just seeing Skoak restocked that StC Russian calf derby. Any thoughts from folks? Man been loving that one from a distance for a while.

    I'm in the home stretch for a MTO VOAK thorpe. Went with double wensum - a first for me. These are going to be fairly casual/city wear and tear bad weather boots for me so I'm hoping the double wensum will work. I went back and forth over single vs double. And now trying as well to decide...

    I was just thinking about how I missed the "old days" when Skoak had all those great GG and EG lineups and MTO's. I've definitely slowed by shoe purchasing since then, but only because I'm hesitant to start over learning new brands (well other than the St C and EB that I routinely purchase : )...

    Leaves, Any plans to restock the St Crispin russian calf derby?

    FWIW, I have the EB black/peccary balmoral. I have to admit it was a bit of an impulse buy as I'm probably the LEAST adventuresome shoe person on SF. But I've really enjoyed them. I can understand how some would be turned off, but the peccary really is comfortable and makes for a different...

    Those VOAK Thorpe are just perfect. I've also been bitten by the boot bug so I'm deciding between the Thorpe and a Canterbury as well. Addicting.

    Thanks, Leaves. I know there have been strong feelings (and special shoe care issues) about the russian calf so wasn't sure if this was a similar type thing as I'm just inexperienced with this.
