You know the brownish-tan color on the lining of most nice boots, that darkens along the creases as you wear them? That color. Could potentially go browner. Don't really like wedge soles so the Anns are no good :/

  1. is guidi too distressed for this?
  2. did you check buttero website? (the japanese one)
  3. andrew mcdonald can make custom one i think http://andrewmcdonald.com.au/

  1. It's an option I guess but I'm looking for a more classic shape
  2. Nope, I'll check them out
  3. Not really into any of the models I can see on his site

Any idea where this Vaz guy gone to? LVR had them and thats abt it. Missed out on these when Antonioli had them. Cant seem to find any of his shoes. Got the reversed silicon treated horse backzip which are very well constructed.

I think someone on SZ said he's working for Rick now so not doing his own stuff anymore. Don't quote me on that though :p

how honey is the brown

Stared at these long and hard on LNCC during sale time. Definitely hits a sweet spot on the leather palette. That wedge sole tho, like kj said. I just couldn't do it.

So on my monitor the color in this pic looks spot on. It's basically brown with some red in it. Maybe sort of like dark honey.
I got these from ln-cc on sale and they're sweet. The leather seems to be pretty nice, and it looks good when the creases start to set in. I can take pics if anyone wants.

Daad-dantone kindly offered to take the 10 Sei 0 Otto boots with the sole defect back and pay for return shipping, so I guess that's what I'll do. They only had one in each size so I guess I'll have to buy it again from somewhere else though.

That's good CS. I think Veritce stocks those boots.

i have a pair of Vaz boots, gotta say construction is solid


Yeah. We got the same one sometime back. I returned mine because the sole was different to what was shown on the site's picture and it was a tad loose. They were built like tanks though. I wonder how is the quality of the construction on the Andrew Macs. Any baller here owns a pair?

Hey guys. Advice on the guidi 988 backzips in black: what gives more rugged look/is better, more durable etc - full grain horse or bison? Thx

a bit derivative, perhaps...but one of the best derbies of the season:

Atelier has these also. Their SS13 stuff just rolled in. The ankle boot is lovely!

That's good CS. I think Veritce stocks those boots.


And Vertice charges you a 5% fee for deducting VAT ?!?

i believe the only diff here is that bison will have be more grainy
