Copy-pasting from the shoe Appreciation thread.
Today I've no flabbergasting triple-soled, Norvegese-welted and smoke machine-enhanced Italian handicrafts to share. I thought these photos would merely help the man pondering about Cheaney's Jackie III model and the last's shape. They also show how Cheaney has improved its wares under the new Church's leadership. I feel the lasts are more contoured, the waists definitely shapelier and I do like this particular suede: smooth, fine nap, springs back to its shape after bending. One point of nagging, though. The welt stitches are too crude and sparse. Yes, shoe OCD is strong with this one.
Pony suede (dark brown in real life), Dainite soles, somewhat elongated toe, chukkas with rounded seams.
