They gotta be Chukkas.

Ahhh, the proper pant break keeps secrets.

Thank you, yes they are Chukkas, Williamsburg in Coffee. A good fitting shoe.

The Reserve Collection! View attachment 2249249

These look nice!

We have wildlife in Germany, but it retreats to the forests as the high population density in Germany means that every 30-75miles (48 - 120km) we have a majoy city with over 100,000 inhabitants. We have smaller cities and towns inbetween. Hence the few natural reservations are still full of wildlife. You have to imagine to put 84,000,000 people into Texas, which is as large as Germany.

The USA is rather less densly populated than the European Union with over 450 Mil. inhabitants, while USA has 335 Mil. inhabitants.

Enjoy your weekend and best regards

What are the odds the Reserve collection will be included in any future sales? I know discounting the flagship product may not be likely but, as good reviews are coming in, I could be swayed to jump at these if there was somewhat of a discount stacked with a few $20 collector rewards coupons.

Extremely likely.

That said they'll probably never be under $650 or so.

I think the patterns are nice but I'm still not seeing how they're worth more than the shell makeups

Accidentally made this a reply. Sorry. Anyway trunk show shoes turned out great this year.

True but the USA is one country whereas the EU is round about 27 or so yes?

Interesting. I personally did not like the look of those Williamsburgs, but I love my Dark Chili Williamsburgs.

Actually 51 countries, 27 in the European Union, 30 in the European Economic Area (EEA), and 19 in the Eurozone that share the EURO as common currency:

Countries in the EU and EEA

The European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) - which countries are in the EU and EEA, the single market and free movement of goods, capital, services and people

Hence the USA with 52 states and 2 protectorates is rather comparable to the whole of Europe with its 51 countries.

The Reserve collection looks nice!

Enjoy your sunday and best regards

Actually, 50 states and 6 inhabited territories, but your point is valid.

How does a German of all nationalities not understand the difference between one country and many?

Anyone ever had this happen? I took my Brown Dundee 2.0's to the local AE shop and requested HEEL SERVICE - I paid my $50 and left the shoes there to be shipped to my home.

Here is what was delivered to me Friday:

Any thoughts about the apparently free soles?
