Quick fill up at the gas station, perfect time to take a pic of the Jefferson in black.

Free Friday means split toe Walton. As you guys know, I have some nice shoes but struggle with coordination of clothes. Like these pants but transitions from pants to shoe is a mystery to me. I tried a grey sock today.

Those are nice! Good starting rule of thumb for suits or dress pants is to wear socks close to the same color as your pants to make you look taller.

I personally ended up matching up sock thickness with shoe fit. 511 last gets thick knits, 65 and 333 lasts get thin dress socks. Etc.

Friday! Going warm today since they're predicting lots of snow before this afternoon.

A wonderfully warm vintage wool sweater from my father and burgundy shell Leeds. A little pep in my step before the weekend!

Good looking shoe. 42 last and Derby probably means good fit for you.

Cold today,
so 12 ounce thick grey trousers, thick socks and shark on double Dainite!

Happy Friday fellas! A little non-AE natty cxl on commando soles today. I hope you all have a great day as we head into the weekend!

It is a good fit. Actually, I like oxfords more because they have less give in the front of the foot, where there is no orthotic usually. This is a good shoe though—top-quality suede. White socks pictured better here with Luxire pants:

I love the lacing pattern here. What method is that? Are these Stirling?

Those look like a Cronmok.

Those look like a Cronmok.

AH. I wasn't aware of another 65-lasted boot. MUST FIND ONE

Cronmok, second release. I also have the lighter brown from the first run.

Thanks. It's the straight euro lacing. I pretty well do it on all of my shoes and boots as I get full closure and it laces easy. https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/straighteuropeanlacing.htm
These are from a few years ago and are indeed the Cronmok. They are on the 65 with combi soles and poron. They're unlined and have a bit different pattern from their spiritual successor the Sterling. The first run came in a tan, brown, and a paler blue that are uber buttery soft. The second run of them are still unlined, but the CXL is just stiffer. Still not as stiff as those freaking Sterlings though!

Probably gonna re lace these bad boys. Not sure about the over under for these boots. In love with moccasin construction though...

I just went with the two shoes and left the Normandy and the Sullivan Street. Anyone that’s a 9.5EEE, give Karina a call in Paramus and she’ll hook you up.

Normandy is apparently in excellent condition - it has the normal leather sole vs the Normandy leather sole.

Sullivan Street not quite as pristine, but sounds like it’s still in acceptable shape.

I just got the Normandy boots. Thank you for posting this!

So I have a marathon in 9 days, which of COURSE means I would drop a book on my big toe and rip the hell out of my cuticle last night. All terrain suede socks for comfort on “‘f***ing really?!’ Friday”:
