You better step up your game, boi. Kopping ties doesn't get you the title of kopapatomous. been had boots. Cordovan, calfskin, black, brown, wingtip, captoe. I been had

Well said...I think?

did you ask for the darkened parts? imo, they make them less versatile?

The Tom Ford anti-gravity shoes are striking! Quite distinctive.
What will you be wearing them with?

Well, I didnt ask for the darkening, but I do like it, a lot.

The place I ordered them from basically ordered them and told me that if I didnt love them, or they didnt fit right, I didnt have to pay for them, so it was no risk really.

What will I wear them with? Lighter brown or tan cords. Brown suits (I have at least as much brown as greys/blues in my wardrobe--I just like it). One TF suit in particular that is a brown prince of wales with a light rust windowpane. I personally wont pair them with blue or grey, but they might work with blue...

Summer reappeared finally in Sydney yesterday. For the wife's birthday dinner out thought I'd try my new 1950s vintage Sears Roebuck ventilated spectators:

many american shoe have low instep.
many vintage shoe have low instep.
why?

They auto-flip all TF photos. I'm cracking myself up today.
They look very sharp. Can you post the whole bottom?

Not sure how well it comes through, but there is some nice bevelling at the edges of the waist that really further accentuate the narrowness of the sole there.

Ya lookin mighty sharp, my friend. Don't tease me with all this talk of "Summer reappearing in Sidney"! I'm still crying over having to box up the Specs for winter hibernation (the ones YOU got me addicted to buying, I might add). Spoil the wife tonight & have a Great Time (maybe find me a babysitter so I can take mine out sometime!)

I believe it's the "one size fits all" mentality. A high arched instep only works effectively if the shoes actually fit correctly, which many US men don't really worry about (the SF crowd excepted, of course).

many vintage shoe have low instep.
why?

Depends on which ones you're looking at. Recently I ran into a treasure trove of Arch Supported vintage shoes. Some makers had entire lines of Arch Support shoes, Wright is one.

more light and no flash would help the details of the shoes more clear in the photos. They look excellent, and would like a better look.

Namor - maybe invest in a shoe stretcher?

Holy **** did you just invent that name? I love it and want it for my own.

Really? I see you more as the koppleupagus of SF.

Want the kopapotamus name somewhere. Thats the best thing this forum has given up in a few months.
