I suggest April 5th. How do you feel about a nice welted Penny Loafer? McGraw and Randolph comes to mind. But if you are looking for rubber sole, then options are a bit limited. If you like tassels the Acheson in dark chili is a winner in my book. Classified as a dress loafer but it dresses down much better than Grayson. Bit loafers as a style just don’t do it for me. Unless you are talking a lizard bit loafer.

Thanks for the April 5th heads-up. I guess penny loafers are not my fav style. Tassels and English bit are more my preference.

As far as rubber sole, I assume they can be replaced more easily than a new outsole?

Damn pop ups seem to be triggered when hitting the like button. :/

I've moved entirely to the Brave browser on PC and phone because of this issue, and it has eliminated pop-ups entirely - very awesome and compatible with most Chrome plug-ins. Also appears to be a pretty secure/private browser too...

Feel free to call me out if this is a madhat specific issue, but I gave up on my FA's hooks today as it's 3 hours into wear with four reties due to laces falling off hooks. I rarely have this issue with the larger HM hooks or Alden's hooks. I think I just might convert them to eyelets.

If they're coming off the hooks, it would seem like they're not laced tight enough.

I agree with this assessment, but I am lacing them the same as I do all of my other boots or tighter. To keep them secure I have to have them uncomfortably tight...maybe I'm not as tolerant to boots telling my feet they aren't allowed to get blood as others!

A fine and pleasant Monday to you, fellow enthusiasts. I guess this counts as part of the Hubbins AW18 Greatest Hits Tour. Spier & Mackay moleskin pants and OCBD, Lands’ End cotton v-neck, AE basic af dress belt and brown shell Strands. Have a prosperous week.

As I see you wearing it often, I hope you are enjoying your Schott coat as much as I have this season.

Some great looking TS2019 shoes on this page gentlemen!

I broke the Florsheim 93605 vintage shell back out from hibernation today. Based on date codes, these are 37 years old. Have a good one fellas!

Wow. Pretty awesome and well done, sir.

I specifically recall around the start of my career back in '84 and being needled by a friend for wearing (fuddy-duddy) wingtips, and yes they were big, beautiful Florsheims (but not shell).

I'm new to this thread and was just mentioning to a friend how it is both ironic and gratifying to see these same styles appreciated, loved and embraced today by a new generation of style conscious men. And that I get to join in!

Yes. I'm glad we're getting some in-between days that are suitable since this thing doesn't have any insulation to speak of.

Love these shoes.

Unfortunately, the heels squeak like I was just walking through wet grass so I'm going to have to stop by my local AE to see what they suggest.

Also, someone a few days back said that AE told them they still had some blue shell. Has anyone else heard that as well?

 

[ProfilaBinding]

Wearing my Leeds 2.0 with thinner socks today and the profila binding on the back of the right shoe is digging into the top of my heel. Anyone know how to solve this problem? Should I just keep putting leather lotion on the spot that is digging into my heel?
