Ok, fellow addicts, here is the state of the shoe collection as requested by some. Apologies for the amount of thread space I'm about to take up and for the less than great quality of the pics. It would take too long to do close-ups of each shoe.
If a brand is not indicated it is Carmina.
The Oxfords
Top Row from L-R: Edward Green Dark Oak Captoe (82), Black Boxcalf Quarter Brogue Captoe (Rain), Tan & Bone Vitello Spectators (Simpson), Polo Suede Captoe (Rain D)
Middle Row from L-R: Black Wholecut Cordovan (Rain), Cognac Full Brogue Cordovan Wingtip (Rain), Burdeo Full Brogue Cordovan Wingtip (Rain)
Bottom Row from L-R: Tan Vegano Full brogue Wingtip (Rain), Tan Grain Semi Brogue Captoe (Simpson), Midbrown Vegano Blind Wingtip (Rain D)
The Derbys
Top Row from L-R: Alden Natural Chromexcel Longwing (Barrie), Alden Navy Unlined PTB (Barrie)
Middle Row: Edward Green Dover Dark Oak Split Toe (606)
Bottom from L-R: Chestnut Karangrein Split Toe (Rain D), Green Vegano 3-Eyelet Derby (Simpson)
The Monk Straps
Top from L-R: Burdeo Shell Cordovan Double Monks (Philadelphia), Cognac Shell Cordovan Double Monks (Philadlphia)
Bottom from L-R: Pompei Vegano (Deia), Brown Vegano (Deia), Black Boxcalf (Simpson)
The Loafers and Slip-Ons
Top from L-R: Santoni Black Deerskin Penny blake construction, Santoni Burgundy Penny blake construction, Harry’s of London Brown Kudu Tassel
Second Row L-R: Cognac Calf Unlined String Loafer blake construction (Uetam), White Karangrein Unlined Bit Loafer blake construction (Uetam), Snuff Suede String with Tassels (Uetam), Navy Suede Full-Strap Penny (Uetam)
Third Row L-R: Brown Crocodile Braided Tassel (Uetam), Rubi Cordovan Half-Lined Penny (Uetam), Brown Vegano Full-Strap Penny (Uetam)
Bottom from L-R: Polo Suede Braided Tassel (Uetam), Brown Suede Penny (Simpson), Brown Lama Calf Venetian with contrast stitching (Uetam)
L-R: Brooks Brothers Cotton Slippers, Dark Cognac Cordovan Side Gusset Quarter Brogue (Rain D), Black Rusticalf Slip On (Simpson)
...and finally....
The Boots
Top from L-R: C&J Chestnut Grain Coniston Captoe Derby Boot (341), Meermin Dark Brown Waxy Calf Plain Toe Derby (Hiro), Alden Natural Chromexcel Indy (TruBalance)
Middle from L-R: C&J Brown Tetbury Chukka (348), Alden Brown Unlined Chukka (Leydon)
Bottom from L-R: Cognac Calf Chelsea (Simpson), Brown Suede Chukka (Detroit), Black Jodhpur (Alcudia)
The Shell Cordovan
These where featured in the prior pictures, but I feel that shell merits its own space. Btw, I'm selling the burgundy double monks and cognac wingtip to make space (wife's orders) for two incoming MTOs. Please message me if interested.
So what am I missing to put this obsession to rest? The incoming Carmina MTOs - who knows when they can be fulfilled at this juncture - are a Calway boot in brown vegano & dark brown karengrein, and an Austerity Brogue in burgundy vegano (both in Rain D).
Suggestions and questions are welcome.
