Great pics!
Geez that pewter museum calf shade is gorgeous... It's exactly the color/finish I've been looking for. Looks like I'm going to have to make a trip to the Lobb store in NYC to try on a pair :::sigh:::

What makes this last different from the 7000 last exactly?

C'mon man...

Sounds like they addressed my problems with the 7000 last. Is Lobb that desperate for my money? OK, OK already! Vintage 2002s are still my favorite, but that suede dealy is changing my mind.

That Hallaton derby is crazy beautiful.

You hit the nail on the head, Tom! Many have this width issue with the 7000 last. The 1105 feels very comfortable and I do not have a wide foot. I've taken the comparison shots. Gotta make'em look respectable and they'll be right up.

None of them is.

Heh heh, does that make them "affordable"? Are they less than a grand?
