The color of those JLs is just wonderful

 

[Hanseat]

Do the JL's have a 360 degree welt? It seems like that judging from the pictures... Do all Lobb's have one, and what's the advantage of them?

Beautiful shoes, of course.

Help me - I think I need help - all this shoetra is making me weep!!!!

 

[AlanC]

The Bordor is a phenomenal shoe.

Wait, don't we already have a consolidated shoe pr0n thread? No matter, I don't think you can ever have enough. Here's what I could dig up for the cause...

McAfee "bespoke" alligator loafers - 1960s? 70s?:

Tyrwhitt/Loake Chelsea boots:

1984 Edward Green for Nordstrom 202 Malvern in Russia calf leather:

Stelios, don't be shy man. Mid-range shoes have been coming on strong lately. Don't let the man keep you down!

Oh dear.

I guess I'll have to put some things up soon! This will have to do for now, Monday I will put up some more "near-working class" shoes

Loding Milan (several hours worth of antiquing on them). They looked strikingly similar in colour to the Sutor Mantellassi wholecuts 969 above prior to that. This is amateur grade, hence the spartan, haphazard background (no carpet either!)

P.s. I really want to take some good shots of my Grenson country boots, I am completely enamoured with them. I have to polish them, first, wore them yesterday and are dusty. Then again, I understand there are such fetishes, maybe I should take the "natural" shots

j,

what are the shoes on your "Safe for Work" pic - the "uncensored" parts look very nice!

May be you can post the hardcore version for the weekend?

G and J...

An excellent display of Appreciation, my eyes are still burning.

J...Love the antique Russian calf Edward Green, are you sure it's not too small for you?

G...There's so much cross over in our collections that it's frightening. I'm espeecially taken with the Grenson semi-brouges.
