Wow. Loving the TS posts. Especially the Bourbon and Green. I'm over here drowning my sorrows with more non TS shell.

At the request of a departing coworker I wore green today.

Whoever thought the green shell was going to be too 'out there' was just wrong!

Guys, what happened to all of the unused green shell from the TS, and shouldn't we be proposing some gmto's to put it to good use? just asking...

Interesting how the color changes from your viewing perspective. Can’t wait to see these in sunlight!

Enjoy!

Congrats!

Holy cow, its just one grand slam homer after another!

Ain't that the truth.

Those Navy FAs are stunning and I'm loving the Commando sole.

Yep - those are terrible. You should be drowning in sorrow.

For the same of comparison from left to right in the back row.

AE Chocolate Brown
AE Alpine Grain Brown
Alden Ravello Shell Cordovan
Alden 405
AE Walnut

Front Row is the Bourbon. I'd say it's a very similar color to Alden's Ravello.

Mary in e-mail responses says there's no intent on bringing back the March Madness shoes. So one more box Carmina will be checking for me.

They don't seem too intent on keeping long-time customers around.

Let’s start the break-in of the bourbon Macs immediately . . . Really pleased with their work on these. MacNeil in this color looks considerably sleeker than my burgundy pair—which I love but they are definitely heavy-looking true gunboats on my size 13 feet.

I'm not surprised, the nuemok isn't a style offered now and that had been around for a while. Theoretically a long-time customer could have purchased them... a long time ago. In my case I wanted Black and Gold so the coloring wasn't quite what I was looking for and I'm generally wearing sneakers at sporting events.

So yesterday I noticed that my Shell Daltons had some bloom happening to them. Either that or it was so fine dust. Anyways, I cleaned it off and brushed it. I noticed that the brush was scratching the shoe. I found that so odd, and when I looked around the boot, I noticed that on one side, it seemed like the finish was flaking off. That’s not normal, is it? How do you even fix it? I haven’t babied them either, just take a wet cloth, go over them, and brush any time I wear them at the end of the day. That’s the basics, and that’s kinda why I liked getting cordovan Daltons.

Any advise or tips? I can’t provide pictures at the moment.

Pics? If the finish is flaking, you can use alchohol/acetone to remove. I've done it on two pairs personally (including Alden ravello)

I've been re-cycling my limited stock of superlatives since the shell started rolling in. Anyway,
Fantastic!
