Yes indeed. I'm enjoying seeing the process of going from new and attractive, to old but with plenty of character. Those are Conistons indeed. With that said, it does seem like the 325 last a touch narrower for my toes on the left foot so if ever another pair does come up in the 335 last I will mostly end up grabbing them.

I'd love to see the Stows. I did wonder about buying a burgundy or even a red one just to see how they would age. I feel like the pairs that start off bright have the most potential in terms of showing their eventual character and use.
Please go easy on the idea of red ones. It can all, so easily, end in tears.

Calf or cow? The wrinkles seem a little different to how I've seen my calf leather pairs age, namely they get these very thin hairline folds....

I think it was burgundy burnished calf but can’t quite remember.

The creases are very different from my Bourtons.
