Salt = patinaYou're a brave man. I use Sno-Seal on my Islays during winter to deal with the salt. Wax polish is not enough (at least for me) when I'm walking 2 to 3 miles in ankle deep snow...

These are perfect. Do you have an 8/8.5D on sale?
been reading the leather quality thread? Snow in NYC is rough. The streets are very salted, the dirt and grime mix with the snow, and it turns into a puddled mess the next day. I will wear my Islays the first day but when it gets really bad, my AS Fordhams are built like tanks. Galways would be nice transition (more dressy) boots but I have a number of balmoral boots that fit that role well. Maybe ddd will buy me a pair to sway me. The Malvern III designs are great!Salt = patina(and thorough use of a damp cloth when I get to work/home)

I was in nyc this past Christmas, had to wear sneakers. I just can't bring myself to wear the good stuff in inclement weather. All though perhaps if I lived there, I would have a much larger rotation and thus be more willing to take chances.
Hmm, let me see.Well I do have another pair on MTO now, but darn those probably are in my size and not your size.How about I just try working a bit harder to convince you to buy your own?
EG monkstrap on 808 last
Diehardworkwear wrote a great piece about single monkstraps featuring the EG mercer on the 82 last which has the "x" shape strap. I think I prefer the so beltlike horizontal strap across the vamp. However I doubt you could go wrong with either
