Ugh, I can *sort* of fit in 11.5 D, but my right foot is just some damn tight and shell won’t stretch. Good find for whoever gets them!

Two BNIB cigar shell boots for sale, neither seconds. $900 net to me each, after shipping (give me a zip code and I'll give you cost) and any fees if paying with something that charges them.

11.5 D Barrie plain toe cigar shell boot



11.5 D Plaza wingtip cigar shell boot



WOW! That cigar Plaza WTB is an absolute stunner. I need it. Why are there no people here wearing 13D with all this great shell they don't want? ?

Those elusive 13 D! The plaza are easily the best cigar color I've seen, from 2018 I believe.

Agree. And the whole make up is great. Unfortunately outside of the Sir Walter boot at Ealdwine (which they dont have in my size), there are no other plaza lasted WT boots on leather soles with 9 blind eyelets. All commando exposed eyelets and hooks.

Ealdwine is not reordering anytime soon. Leather soul did a make up but they said they don't have plans for future.

I need this make up in any color lol

/End rant

Yeah agree, I need a half size up or so. The Ealdwine boot is very good, but I need the antique edge instead of mahogany.

And putting hooks on a plaza boot is just a travesty IMO

I love the mahogany welt on that boot. Im in antique overload lol. Also have a Grant lasted WT boots on pre-order with antique so need a differentiator. The mahogany welt makes it much more dressy I think.

Re-upping my #8 captoes, which are still available!

I have a pair of Shell Captoes in Color #8 (I believe), size 10 1/2. Bought years ago but ended up rarely wearing them, and I need the space, so time to let them go.

They have been worn, but are in great condition. The one significant flaw is that one of the two leather pull tabs ripped off very early on. I'm looking for $480 shipped in the US but open to offers!

The raising of funds continues... Shoot me a message if you're interested in anything. Also, send me trades only because while I need money I still have a shoe/boot obsession to cope with as well...

Alden Plain Toe Navy CXL Boot - 12 B/D Barrie - $400
Crockett & Jones for RL Black Calf Lindrick - 12D 325 Last - $700

Let me know if I need to remove the C&J listing. Thought I would just include it.

Thanks,
Nick



Ok. Gotta move these... $300 for the Alden’s, $500 for the C&J.

Swing and a miss on sizing... Posting these here for what I paid, $860 net to me. Always interested in trades as well, though if these fit you it would have to be for a pair that are to big for you.
