My #1 shoe desire. They will be mine at some point in 2007.

I love them but prefer them in black. I'm hopeful the JL in Paris has them in my size.

Those shoes are beautiful. I saw the pair on my last visit to London. Very similar to Jermyn II. Good choice for monks.

Will you be visiting JL Paris or are you placing a special order?

I think I'm going to try and order the Vale in Parisian Brown Museum through the Lenox NM.

I'll be in Paris next week so yes I'm going to try to buy them there. If not I'll opt for the Lenox NM option.

My Vales in Parisian Brown should be in at the Beverly Hills NM any day now.

The finish on your Dark Brown Vales is lovely. It's much like the finish on my Dark Brown Chapels. I'm surprised how much the Dark Brown Museum can vary though, the first pair of Chapels that they sent (too large) had very little color variation. My fingers are crossed so that the finish on my Vales will have a lot of color variation.

Dear lord aportnoy. That's what I want. Just to be sure is that Parisian Brown Museum or Dark Brown Museum?
