Which one of you hooligans has apparently been watching my eBay listing and sent me this message?

Was that not OK?

Just snagged a pair of Burgundy Sanfords on the 'bay. Now need to figure out what to do with my burgundy calf Sanfords.

What is the difference between Burgundy Sanfords and Burgundy calf Sanfords?

 

[Kahuna75]

I laughed also...

Used brown Parkway for $110. Personally I don't think it's unreasonable. Still in great condition. I've sold other shoes in the same condition anywhere from $100 - $250, so $110 seems to be an OK price point.

Dislike.

I don't get "summer boot". Summer is hot. Boots are hot. Seems like a bad combination.

I expect canvas shoes to be able to go into the washing machine. Those can't due to the leather.

IMHO, canvas shoes are cheap, easily replaceable, bang around shoes. Those are just a bad idea IMHO.

Depends on the cost. If they were 100-150 for a summer style shoe, I'd rock them if they last 2 summers or so without a resole. Canvas is pretty hardy. I'd spray it with suede protectant or such and rock it. It might rip, but that makes it look worn in and awesome.

Anyone have experience with sizing in the Graysons? Normally wear an 8.5d but just got a pair of 8d off ebay. Think they'll fit more like the Randolph loafer? I have the Randolph in 8.5 and it's like a half size too big so that's what I'm hoping...

I wouldn't let some random eBayer get you so upset - who cares what he/she thinks. Keep pricing it at what you think is appropriate and the market will bear out if you were pricing it too high or pricing it appropriately.

You should patent this design. I think you could earn some income with this.

They certainly look like solid construction. He wouldn't even need to patent though.

Allen Edmonds Hamptons, red sox and seersucker. It's going to be a good day.

Very nice.

Didn't know AE did this. The ultimate MTO?

 

[JRay]

Very nice!!

 

[bradybot]

Wow ... makes for a great store fixture.
What kind of wood?

The wood is Butternut wood. It's a white walnut. It stains to look like a dark walnut. Since this is my first time doing wood carving I choose the wood based on the fact that it has a grain that is easy to work with.

Now that the finish has completely dried, here is a picture of the boots with the trees.

 

[JRay]

Yes, very nice!!

Great story.

Would you guys say this color is borderline inappropriate for casual business wear? I like the color, but it's getting really popping after stripping out most of the layered polish on top. I think this color is closer to ruby red than burgundy.
