I highly recommend these three videos

highly educational.

Oh Montefiore is excellent! I've watched this. Excellent viewing.

Nothing controversial about what I said. I was born in the UK but my heritage is Southern European. My girlfriend is Spanish. I’ve experienced first hand how sloppy our southern friends are ?

Its not controversial, its just a comment from a person with not much thinking nor experience in live. Your spanish girl must adore you so treat her with much care and ethic. Show her the Northen Europe way.

Wow, that comment is even worse...but yes, Northen Europe is richer that Southern, I know. Carmina has no work ethics, nor do we spaniards (including your family I suppose)

Most of my family down South are bone idle bums ? They even agree with me when I tell them this.

I do adore her. And I think the Spanish are an amazing people. Very freindly and hospitable. It's why so many Brits have a second home there. My comment was more a general comment on the work ethic of Southern Europeans

Does anyone have experience with Balitx last? I wear 9.5 on Rain last but from the picture it seems smaller alltogether?

I would half size up from Rain. I wear the same size in Simpson and Balitx. I have a narrow foot with a low instep.

Dude I think we all just agreed that we're gonna keep the discussion about shoes from hereon...

Exactly. No more last words.

Nice shoes. Particularly the Russian calf split toes.

You’ve done well to receive suede shoes that have the right and left foot the same shade.?

The grain leather pairs are stunning!

Thank you! Both are Russian calf, from Bakers I believe.

Thanks! Sadly, this isn’t all of it, though it is most.
