I think AE Ashley was behind that new red Strandmok.

Linings yes, I meant outer leather.

I have a pair of "kid leather" (young goat) shoes from the Spanish maker starting with a 'C' -- the leather is very soft and supple, extremely comfortable but my guess is they will not have the longevity of calfskin

Can one make footwear out of sheep leather?

Great question. Google provided some interesting results.

Spiderweb lacing, famalam.

I do it on all my boots. I think it looks neat.

Ian's Shoelace Site – Spider Web Lacing

Tutorial for Spider Web Lacing, in which the shoelaces are woven vertically and diagonally, forming a “web” of shoelace.

It's a military style that is often used on jump boots and the like. These aren't really jump boots, but I think it makes them look cool.

Here's a pic of another military lacing system that I understand to be "ladder lacing" and very popular among airborne troops.

I might be wrong, but I believe that kid leather has about five times the tensile strength of calfskin while being considerably lighter.

Lol I've mentioned the love of color but you can thank the planning/design team for that.

That could be, I honestly know next to nothing about kid leather. It certainly is lighter and more supple than calfskin, but seems to be slightly harder to maintain (i.e. buff out nicks and the like) due to the nature of the leather

Appreciate all the positivity and prayer everyone can give. My father in law is in surgery for an aortic dissection. It was very sudden. He lives with us and has been so helpful in taking care of us and welcoming my father also into our household after my my mother passed 2 months ago. We are very worried.

Bought these for days where leather soles aren't wise, but wore them on a beautiful spring afternoon here in Illinois. Thanks for @ae_ashley for hooking me up with these Caens!
