    I’d be interested in seeing a picture of how it wore out. I like the commando soul I was under the impression that it was rubber in two sections - front and back - and then leather in the middle. I’ve got a special make up coming soon using this commando soul that AOSF makes but i’ve never seen...

    Thanks Shawn - I just emailed AOM trying to get them to put my dream rare shell makeup together. This is my new mission!!!! Not sure if you watch NFL, nice to see Mr. Fields get a win..I'm rooting for him - he had a tough stay in Chicago - I think he'll flourish in the Burg

    The way I view this QC issue is that the shoes we discuss and purchase, many of them are handsewn - really when you think about it - individual works of art. Even when they use a machine to sew, the shoe is still held by hand to complete the various parts of the shoemaking process, the shoe is...

    I agree with you - Alden has a style all their own, I have 3 pairs, one on the way (a makeup from AOSF) and I love the brand. My point on the fix, why I didn't send them in, was it's such a hassle to UPS to the Easy Coast when I can fix for $25...it's not the end of the world for me. Once fixed...

    I'm not a boot guy either, don't have a single pair. Ravello is #1 on my list of what I want...curious about Revello, is it called Whiskey sometimes? In this picture, the boot on the left is Ravello, the boot on the right it's called Whiskey - they look very similar?

    So I took my brand new black cordovan LWB to my local cobbler. I have a habit of putting new shoes in the closet for several months. These have been sitting for nearly 9 months. I look over when they arrive, but I like to save my new shoes for a bit - I know it's strange. Anyway, when these...

    I agree, I'm looking at the site everyday, waiting for a special makeup of a LWB in Barrie, can't wait to order something...the pair in this picture on the far right is off the hook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Really helpful - thank you. Your suggestion for finding a person that works at a store is such a good idea. This is what I've done with C&J - I've done 7 MTO with Thomas and not a single issue. The suede pair I want from Carmina, they can do and I know the last fits. One thing I realized today...

    Here is a screen grab from the custom derby in "color 4"...I had NO idea Carmina offered such custom options...I've been building a penny in tobacco suede, I had to send my snuff suede Alden's back, they were to narrow in E, Carmina has a EEE last (3 different versions of EEE!) -do you have a...
