Speaking of your photos (which I btw think are very good quality) I can't help think there's always a photo of the shoe from above missing, where one can see the silhouette of the last. While not the most sexy of perspectives it's nevertheless the perspective you will see ones you start wearing them. But that's just a suggestion :)


It's a tough shot to get right if you want a close-up picture, a small change in the angle of the shot can make the shoes look either overly elongated or fat. Pics of the Bonafé wholecut on Google Image search, for example, are very different. I think the last (the 946?) is tough to photograph because of the chisel.

That being said, I pretty much always search for overheard shots of the shoes in interested in. So would love more of them if Skoak wrote so inclined! ;)


I also find myself wishing that overhead shots were available when browsing Skoab's pictures.

@RogerP

That "chisel" looks like a soft round chisel, not sharp like the 946, but point taken. From that angle, I'd say the Bonafé 2102B is similar.

Also, the shaft of the StC comes farther down the vamp; Bonafè boots seem to have longer vamps. Look at the grain jumper boot from the side.

Great boot regardless. I need some Norvegese in my rotation.

EDIT: I take it back. Check out the toe of the monkey boot. Seems closer to the StC makeup.

Dude, I thought I was the only one who was curious why there weren't more overhead shots. That angle really gives you a different perspective of the silhouette and toe shape, medallion details that you can't get from all the otherwise superb product shots. Side profiles can make a slender toe look bulbous and a bulbous toe look slender, but an overhead shot really tells the true story in my eyes.

Leaves,

Would really appreciate this perspective for your product shots!
