Navy shell PA looking very dark this morning.

Before seeing, I never would have believed the Park Avenue to be a good choice for navy but every time I do, the color looks it's natural complement. Nice.

These are the old version white the lighter sole and on the 42 last I think. I have a pair of plain toe’s on the 42n and in the same size as these I still get toe poke

I have that old Nomad in Chukka. The right shoes heel is squeaking though now

Now look, it’s not like I said the Wilbert was a pair of these:
(No spoiler... I’m burning your eyelids off.. and yes, their glorious hideousness is all mine.)

Is it possible for your eyes to throw up?

...Our current Strandmok with it's ChromeXL leather and Dainite sole got huge criticism on StyleForum, and it's one of our bestselling introductions for this fall. As the Germans used to tell me -- Um Geschmack laesst sich nicht streiten (there's no arguing about taste).

Oh how I would love to go back to those "controversial" days. If they thought those were bad I cannot imagine how they would have handled what came out in 2017 and beyond.

They’re much worse in person. I have to throw my eyes into soft-focus when I look at them.

Anyone think it would be possible to fill in the "Tattoo" portion of the Three kings boot using shoe polish?

Summertime activities have kept me from posting much lately, but today I'm too excited to wait!
I've acquired a new...

it...
Watch!

I think you'd be better off buying the Leeds. The design would never go away with polish.

I bought these AE Sheldon saddle shoes in Boston 16 years ago. These were my first serious shoes. A lot has happened since then but these shoes are still great. Still trying my misterg/mattgrey pose..

Or, failing that, perhaps fire

Anybody had any luck removing the camouflage on that makeup of the Higgins Mill? Seeing those at $147 on ShoeBank has me wondering if there's any chance of turning that into a wearable boot for those of us who are camo-averse.

Or, if that's not doable, what kind of process would work for dyeing CXL? I know I'd have to go darker, and am thinking about a dark blue version of these. Would I be able to cover up the camouflage with dye? Or, am I just chasing ghosts here?

Today must be the day where people are interested in buying a shoe with a graphic design that they don't like with the intention of changing it. I have doubts that the camo color would ever come out.

Third flight in three weeks... third time nomads. These are the best travel shoes. Tomorrow I will try to get chocolate suede from Nordstrom.
