That was me. Nabbed those back in early December. They had a pair of Burgundy shell Higgins on dainite as well. If the price comes down a bit more I might and just resole.

Oh no, so we are competitors. I hope you will post a picture of them because Jean said they were were a shade of natural that almost looked like chili.

Here you go. For what it’s worth, we won’t be competing for a whole lot. I’m not really in the market for much these days. Even then it’s mostly just boots. 8D in Higgins/freeport and 8E in most other AE lasts.

I bought a couple of these weird venetian-style loafers in 9.5D sight unseen I hope they work out as I couldn't get a sense of fit as thr reviews are just all over the place in terms of fit. I'll have to sell them here if they don't work out.

Same here. I’m usually a 9D in most boots but a 9E in shoes.

Monthly Guys Group get-together tonight for beers, wings, and exchanging gifts. Brown shell SMU Higgins Mill boots match the SMU walnut with maple inlay picture frame I threw together one afternoon. Does that frame now contain an 8 x 10 matted image too disturbing to show without wanting to gouge one's eyes out afterward? Indeed it does. That's what friends do. Well, my friends, at least.

Not trying to knock you at all, whatever floats your boat....but everything is relative. Decent shell 2nds for 360 is pretty good. That thing and that other thing you referred to as a venetian earlier....well....

Only Siths deal in absolutes.

Took these Veronas on a overnight work trip. Very comfortable and no setting off the magnetometers.

They may not be some beefy elaborate brogued out gyw captoe but I would challenge every loafer hater to try the Verona- my guess is at least half will come aboard. It's easily one of the most comfortable accommodating shoes they make.
