Just found out today that returning to the office will not happen until 2022. Do you think I can re-purpose this split toe to go with denim?

Taper those a tad and they will look good. Need to see more Selvedge. That's the money shot!

Damn 2022 ?. I'm in the same boat as @clee1982. It is a wait and see approach. Possibly highly dependent on this vaccine business.

Same for me wait and see approach. But I do want to go back to office and wear more shoes/boots :)

Ugh.....I have a problem.
I just ordered the Jonah Hill Samba's simply because we have the same initials.

absolutely, you guys already decided on 2022? We're open ended now, but looks like will be a while...
These look good with jeans too :)
Just the vote of confidence I needed! I have dressy denim so to speak, with no cuff, tonal stitching and more of a taper. I'll likely pair it with that.

Looks like they want to renovate our building while everyone is home, which is likely to be completed December 2021

On another note, @boot_owl from House of Agin sent me a picture of my finished split toe derby. Pretty excited for this, the pie crust stitching looks super tight and i'm loving how the toe seam is a bit elongated.

Very nice ? Is the 2 pairs same color ? And which one is yours and what are the specs ?

I believe they should be the same colour, only 1 pair is mine, not sure which of the 2 it is. lol. This was part of a GMTO.

The shoes are made by Mattina. These are handwelted but machined stitched outsole. Website has a pretty good chart outlining the things that are important and the things that they've made compromises on to get to the price. Very very competitive for the price. Haven't received them yet but the picture looks very promising.

Both the same, part of a GMTO. Haven’t had the chance to upload more photos yet as I actually brought in some extras to be RTW. Couldn’t resist wearing my pair out before taking photos ?
