Thanks for backing me up, Dubsy. Haters gonna hate I guess.

And that leads us (ahem, leeds us) to today's MTO: Leeds in Golden Brown CXL.





Specs:
- Leeds Derby Shoes
- Leather: Golden Brown Chromexcel
- Exposed antique brass eyelets
- Tan contrast stitching
- Chili split reverse welt
- Double butyl leather outsole
- Light brown transparent edge dressing
- Standard Brown leather insole

Resurrecting a dinosaur thread here. @bl@ster , I'm curious how these have held up?

Thinking of doing this make-up on the 65 last a la the Varno 2.0 at $249 if we can get backers (and assuming we can get this shoe at that price)

I can't say -- haven't worn them yet. I've got a MDubs type number of new shoes to christen and these haven't happened yet. But I'm sure they'll hold up fine... there are many datapoints of CXL shoes to pull from.

Tentatively interested, depending on the sole. Would prefer Dainite or v-tread.

Got the news from Allison today: my oxen Eagles fell from the nest. A new pair currently being hatched now. ETA uncertain.

On the other hand, I still love my Kenilworth!

Really sweet Kenilworths. Sorry to hear about your eagles.

In other news, my navy shell Dundees bloom like crazy in the rolls. It's actually really impressive.

I've decided to sell my Chili Grain Eagle River GMTOs, and thought I'd give the forum a shot before I list them in the marketplace. They were classified as seconds, although I think they're in great shape. Size 7E. PM me with interest.
