Lattanzi Shoe Appreciation

[Mecnun]

What do people think of these Lattanzi's?

 

[Eustace Tilley]

The leather looks diseased.

To get that patina they are worn by drillers on oil rigs in the Black Sea... the resulting bespoke stink is, by some, a preferred additional benefit.

Can you please translate for me

Do you like them?

They aren't good. The greasy look destroys the very being of the shoe.

 

[Mecnun]

Isn't this called "antiquing" (sorry if misspelled) in this forum?

 

[Avebury]

Ghastly.

I won't necessarily call splotchy oil stains antiquing.

See this pic for a better example of "antiquing":

Yes, they look silly. But I think you guys are just kidding yourselves when you say any antiquing looks good.

Agreed. For good antiquing, see Bontoni, Scafora, John Lobb.
