Go for it, you won’t regret.

I’m same size on 348 and 373.

With same size I feel a little bit wider my Fairford than my Westbourne

put your name on the sheet for these in Whiskey ?

Does anybody know what last the Paul Stuart Howie Wing Tip is on? Trying to determine if it’s the old 337 Clifford or new 373 Fairford. Do they put the last number on any of their private label shoes?

Hey guys,
I got the Conistons from Todd Snyder but I am not too thrilled about them due to their condition.

My pair was obviously a floor model that has been tried multiple times. I am ok with that due to the discount, but there are scrashes on both boots (2 of them deep) and a nick (chunk of leather separated) on the right boot.
I know that some of you would think that this will happen to the boots once I wear them out, but I have mixed feelings for a supposedly $540+ new pair on this condition.
Thoughts?

For the look of the vamp and overall condition, these boots have been tried on quite a few times:

There are scratches on both boots, but the worst ones are on the right boot:

The white spot below is due to a piece of leather separated from the heel counter:

Those look like they need to go back ^^
Alternatively, call them and see if they give you a partial refund.

Don't know where they are teaching this, but sounds like they are misinforming you. I can understand avoiding it when they throw salt out, because it's more maintenance to clean them up, but not sure why they are throwing salt out in the rain and salt stains can be removed. Not sure if there is any long term damage though.

That looks bad. I’ve had good experience with their customer service though. They gave me 10% unprompted a while ago when I had some problems with an order.

That’s strange to be honest! Why would there be salt when it rains? I bought my brecon’s to use them in the rain!

Does anyone know the up charge from C&J for a one off MTO Shell boo? Getting tired of waiting around for the Whiskey Galway II GMTO sheet to fill only to have four withdraw on the very same day after getting 12, over a hundred bucks.

It’s going to be about $1,850. Sorry for dropping out. Didn’t make much sense staying after I got my Carminas.

Well, I learned the rain have 2 risk... one is the formation of white stains due the salt in the rain water (as the rain water comes from water of the oceans).

And the other risk is for the leather soles, exposing leather soles to wet floor are going to cause the leather sole absorb the water like a sponge... making it soft with the time and accelerating his degradation ?
