nice patina, walnut ?
Thanks, but no, they are just good ol' oxblood and can vary in color depending on the light. For example, below is same day in sun, shade and indoors. Yes, I did a study. lol.

And btw, welcome to the group. You may be a "newbie" here but certainly not new to AE. That is a nice collection you have.

I don't think there's any danger unless you put them in a location where there isn't good air ventilation.

what is the danger if kept in an area where there isn't good ventilation?

I have a splitting headache right now, so I won't be going into long details. My bourbon Strands arrived and although I'm generally very lenient with small flaws, these will have to go back. They didn't follow my instructions, and the QC is pretty bad on this pair. I'll need to reach out to Charleston tomorrow.

I hear that. It's constant repairs for house and car items or some tendon issue for me.
A friend of mine recently mentioned to me a saying that goes, "life is 95% maintenance and 5% fun". A little depressing but true. lol.

Better than the dentist or a hospital waiting room. I also take photos of my shoes in waiting rooms, I wonder what the other people think.......
Lol. Yes, today I was "clicking" away but no one's gaze wavered from their phone or tablet to look me up and down so I guess I got away with it. And that's a byproduct of electronic devices and social media. No one cares what's happening right next to them anymore, always just somewhere else.

As you mention "hospital waiting room", that was two days last week (where I did actually get to "socialize" in person with some very nice folks).
After my friend's surgery, did I show you how I busted us out of there on Halloween? Here ya go..

OMG, I love it! Hope your friend is doing well following whatever they had done. Last surgery waiting room for me was when wife had stent installed, if that's the right term. Since it was Cardiac waiting room, and I'm good friends with the main Cardiac surgeon here, I got in quite a few conversations with people who's relatives were going to have open heart surgery. Ron, my friend, is a great cardiac surgeon, and after every procedure, he came over and talked shoes and wine with me. that of course, got all the rest of the people waiting to come over and want to know how good he was, as their husband/wife/whatever was next on his open heart operating list. He didn't do my wife's stent, as he only does open heart, but the guy who did is a great guy and very good, but wears cemented Target or DSW shoes.

The AMA should do something about the rampant inferior shoe problem amongst its members. lol.

Agreed! I hate it when my shoes are better than my physicians! My dentist does wear AE and Alden, my Urologist wears sneakers however and my primary care doc wears some square toe crap that is beat to hell. I really want to get them all into good footwear, but never mention it, somehow it feels odd talking about shoes/boots while wearing one of those stupid "gowns".

Sorry to hear this, Profila. I'm sure it will get sorted out appropriately.
